ASTM F1064 Safety Services for
Alpine Rental Fleets

ASTM F1064 is the industry standard for sampling and inspecting alpine ski/binding/boot systems in rental use — it's how rental operations demonstrate that their equipment is safe, properly adjusted, and performing as designed. Boardworks Gear Lab helps fleet operators meet that standard with confidence.

Backed by Standards Expertise and Decades on the Hill

Our ASTM F1064 services are overseen and reviewed by an experienced head technician who brings both regulatory authority and hands-on field experience to every audit:

• 40+ years in the ski industry — including managing rental facilities and working as a lead technician in retail settings, so recommendations come from someone who's done the work, not just written about it

• ASTM F1064 / F1063 Committee Member — actively involved in the committee's ongoing work on these standards, staying current on where the requirements are headed

• ASTM F27.10, F27.30, and F27.50 Subcommittee Member - covering ski equipment, protective gear, and related testing methodology

  This combination is rare: a reviewer with a seat at the table where these standards are set, backed by decades running the kind of operation your business runs today.

Our Services

ASTM F1064 Audit
A forensic review of your existing inspection program and SOP’s. We assess what's working, flag gaps, and deliver a detailed report with specific, actionable recommendations — modifications, additions, or corrections — so your internal process holds up to scrutiny.

Full ASTM F1064 Training System
SOPs, software, and reporting tools — built so your team can run compliant inspections in-house, with our support behind them. You don't have to build this from scratch, and you don't have to go it alone.

Post-Incident Inspections
An independent inspection and functional test of the ski, binding, and boot involved in an incident. We document the system as found, measure release values against reference standards, and deliver a clear, independent, factual report so you have an objective record of how the equipment performed when it matters most.

F1064 Fleet Software
Guided, step-by-step F1064 inspections with every result recorded and branded PDF reports on demand: preseason, in-season, and post-incident. Built for the rental floor, and it works offline.
