    Notes:

    (1) The intent of this Standard is to reduce the risk of injury to the head without compromising the form or appeal of the game. This reduction of risk is based on the use of the face protector

    (b) in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. 

    (2) Ice hockey is a sport in which there is a risk of injury. Helmets meeting the requirements of this Standard afford no protection from neck or spinal injuries. Severe head, brain, or spinal injuries, including paralysis or death, can occur in spite of using a helmet certified to this Standard. 

    1.2
    This Standard specifies requirements for

    (a) construction;
    (b) shock absorption;
    (c) penetration;

    (b) goalkeepers; and
    (c) certain functionaries (e.g., referees, coaches).

    1.4

Notes accompanying clauses do not include requirements or alternative requirements; the purpose of a note accompanying a clause is to separate from the text explanatory or informative material.
