Authorized Binding and Helmet Dealers

Amer Sports provides its Authorized Binding and Helmet Dealers with information contained on this website and in the Certification Kit:

1. To help assure customers that Salomon, Atomic and Armada bindings and Salomon and Atomic helmets are properly selected, mounted, adjusted, and serviced.
2. To serve as a risk management tool for the Authorized Dealer.

Requirements

While it is not necessary for an Authorized Location to have all of its personnel certified, sales people and managers are encouraged to remain aware of Amer Sports’ certification and record keeping requirements.

• Authorized Dealers must have at least one Certified Technician working at each Authorized Location selling, servicing or renting Salomon, Atomic or Armada bindings and/or Salomon or Atomic helmets.
• The technician who signs the Authorized Location’s workshop or rental form for any transaction must be currently certified for the product category in question.
• It is an Authorized Dealer’s responsibility to maintain sufficient records to identify its Certified Technicians.

Certification Fees

Authorized Dealers will be invoiced an administrative registration fee for technician certifications.

Taking The On-line Exam

2. Verify your information. As this program deals with indemnification, please be sure to provide your legal name and birth date

3. Take the on-line exam(s)

   • Each exam is on a single page, so don't reload the page or use the "back" or "forward" functions. Doing this will likely clear your answers, requiring you to start again at the beginning.
   • Currently a score of 90% must be obtained to pass.
   • In addition, questions marked with an asterisk (*) are considered core questions and must be answered correctly.
