— an alpine ski-boot (form A) or at least the bottom part of it to be used for testing alpine ski-bindings for alpine skiing in accordance with ISO 9462 and ISO 9465, and

— a touring ski-boot (form T) or at least the bottom part of it to be used for testing touring ski-bindings for touring skiing in accordance with ISO 13992 and ISO 9465.

NOTE Ski-boots have their own International Standards (ISO 5355 and ISO 9523) that allow relatively large tolerances in defining the test sole which are generally believed to be suitable for on-slope use by skiers, but too large for reproducible laboratory measurements.

For ski-binding systems that function irrespective of the sole shape or that have different requirements for the sole dimensions, it is not always necessary for the ski-boot soles to comply with this International Standard in order to achieve the desired degree of safety.

ISO 9523:2008 applies to ski-boots of sizes 15,0 and larger in the Mondopoint system.

It applies to rigid touring boots. Boots with softer shells like Telemark boots are excluded as they do not have the necessary shell stability to act as part of the release systems.

L'essai fournit une mesure de la limite entre déclenchement et retenue pour le déclenchement latéral d'une fixation de ski pour adultes (type A selon l'ISO 9462) pour un réglage donné de cette fixation.

La méthode d'essai est conçue pour simuler les charges de choc latérales survenant en skiant sur la partie avant du ski. Cet essai permet d'évaluer les propriétés de déclenchement et de retenue d'une fixation de ski dans des conditions de charges attendues. Cet essai permet également de comparer le déclenchement latéral causé par un choc latéral sur le ski pour des systèmes de fixation de conception différente.
