BS EN 15638:2009 A standard called "Ice Skates: Safety Requirements and Test Methods" is applicable to ice skates designed for users weighing up to 100 kg during recreational ice skating activities other than athletic competitions. This standard's primary goal is to provide minimal safety standards and testing procedures to lower the likelihood of accidents involving users and other parties during routine use.

The connection of the runner to the boot, the attachment of the blade in the blade holder, the linearity and location of the runner, impact resistance, and skating surface condition are all covered by the standard. It also provides certain testing methods for assessing how well the ice skates function, such as determining how well they resist impact loads and how firm their runners are.

In order to assure accurate identification and information supplied by the manufacturer, the standard also includes instructions for labeling the ice skates. This comprises general specifications for the information offered, such as information on the ice skate's design and manufacture, use directions, and servicing and maintenance guidelines.
