ISO 5355:2005 specifies the requirements, test methods and marking of ski-boots that are used with current systems of alpine ski-bindings with attachment at the boot toe and boot heel, the proper release function of which depends on the dimensions and design of the interfaces.

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 5355:2005 applies to ski-boots of sizes 15,0 and larger (types A and C) in the Mondopoint system.
