Deutsches Institut für Normung e.V. (German Institute for Standardization; similar to US ANSI) It is the standard for test of release bindings measured in foot pounds in the US and Newton Meters in Europe and other countrys. Since You are to lazy to look it up.

"Deutsche Industrie Normen" - literal translation is what Subtle Plague wrote, "German industrial standard(s.)"

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.

Din is an acronym for Dinar which is theYugoslavian national currency.

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. It became a fundamental requirement to rate these frilly undergarments. 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.

I did consider trying to convince them I'd had "custom panty liners" made for my boots...

Sorry. Really, really, sorry. But it was just sitting there, waiting to be said!
