This document defines test soles representing

—？an alpine ski-boot (form A) or at least the bottom part of it 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 used for testing touring ski-bindings for touring skiing in accordance with ISO？13992 and ISO？9465.

This document also defines a test body representing alpine ski-boots with improved walking soles in accordance with ISO？23223.

NOTE？Ski-boots have their own International Standards (ISO？5355, ISO？9523 and ISO？23223), which allow relatively large tolerances in defining the test sole that are generally believed to be suitable for on-slope use by skiers, but too large for reproducible laboratory measurements.
