BS ISO 9523:2019 PDF Download

BS ISO 9523:2019 is a standard that outlines the specifications and testing procedures for adult touring ski boots, with a focus on how they interact with touring ski bindings. The standard specifies the marking requirements for rigid-soled ski boots used with contemporary touring ski binding systems, as well as the dimensions and properties of the interface. The size and layout of the interfaces determine how well these bindings perform their release function.

It is significant to note that ski-binding systems that operate independently of sole form or have differing requirements for sole dimensions are not covered by this standard. In such circumstances, it may not be essential to comply with this text in order to achieve the desired level of safety.

The standard is applicable to ski boots in the Mondopoint system in sizes 15.0 and up. However, it specifically disallows boots with softer shells, such as Telemark boots, from participating in the release systems since they lack the essential shell stability.
