Deutsches Institut fur Normung (DIN)
DIN is a non-governmental organization established to promote the
development of standardization and related activities in Germany and related
markets with the goal of facilitating the international exchange of goods
and services, and to developing cooperation in the spheres of intellectual,
scientific, technological and economic activity.
Over 12,000 DIN standards cover a wide range of topics including: physical
quantities and units, fasteners, water analysis, building and civil
engineering (including building materials, construction contract procedures
(VOB), soil testing, corrosion protection of steel structures), materials
testing (testing machines, plastics, rubber, petroleum products,
semiconductors), steel pipes, machine tools, twist drills, roller and ball
bearings, and process engineering. DIN Handbooks (covering subjects such as
mechanical engineering, fasteners, steel, steel pipes, and welding), and
most DIN standards are available as English versions, or as English
translations.

It goes back to the times when Yugoslavia was the world's main manufacturer of womens panties. The more expensive the panties the stronger the elastic and general construction.

Following stress testing incorporating a series of bungy jump wedgies from a 22 ton crane in light winds, each article was given a DIN number.
It just made natural sense to carry over the same system to ski bindings. Obviously the testing procedure has been slightly modified for ski bindings.

Somehow I feel all this must explain how one of my wee bits of lacey lingerie made its way into my ski boot in order to fall out in front of my (male) friends yesterday.
