CAN/BNQ-9415-370 (R2013)

SCOPE This standard specifies the characteristics of neck protectors that are designed to reduce the risk of direct lacerations on the neck caused by contact with a hockey skate blade in the protective zone of the neck protector, as well as the test methods for verifying some of the characteristics. ATTENTION - - The tests required to ensure that a neck protector conforms to the requirements of this standard do not attempt to predict the performance of the neck protector in all possible situations. - In order for a neck protector to protect adequately, it must be in good condition, fit properly and not be altered in anyway. - This standard does not deal with protection from the impact of pucks, sticks or other objects. - This standard does not deal with accessories that are sometimes incorporated into a protective equipment together with a neck protector. This document was developed to serve as a reference document for conformity evaluation activities of specific products. NOTE - Conformity evaluation is defined as the systematic examination of the extent to which a product fulfils specified requirements.
