HYPOTHETICAL: Does tempriture (cold) affect DIN?

This is a pretty pointless question, but my housemate raised the issue a couple of days ago and we haven't been able to resolve it.
As the DIN is dictated by the strenth of a metal spring, which normally would be stiffer at colder temps, would the DIN be very slightly higher at -25C than it would at 35C?
Again, there is nothing to gain from this question other than satisfying our curiousity!
Cheers NS!!

i gotta think that i'd be pretty much the same. it might change a little bit, but no one swaps out their bindings depending on the weather so their probably made to not change during warmer or colder days. there might be some change, but probably not enough to notice. again i don't know much about bindings so this is just a guess. good question tho

a DIN scale also relies on a certain percentage for margin of error, which would most likely accommodate that type of change in temperature. Obviously there will be a certain temp that nothing will work at so technically it will affect DIN at a certain point.
