Like several other winter sport federations, IOF has a goal to ban all fluorinated waxing products. The first step was taken by banning all “C8-products” for the 2021/22 season. Developing reliable on-site test methods has shown to be very challenging and are not yet in place. Therefore, FIS and IBU in August decided to postpone the ban of all fluorinated waxes until the 2023/24 season. IOF is still considering implementing a ban of all fluorinated for the upcoming season.
Therefore SkiO Commission invites you all to an open online information and discussion meeting Thursday 8th September regarding the process of banning fluorinated ski waxing products in ski orienteering.
