There are two ISO (International Standards Association) standards for ski bindings:

• ISO 5355 Alpine (DIN) Soles- The old (1997-2019) standard
  
• ISO 9523 Alpine Touring Soles - The new standard (2015-present)
  is a standard for downhill boots and touring boots.

ISO 9523 is the Standard for Rockered Alpine Touring Soles, most boots in this category have tech binding compatibility and are associated with long backcountry trecks.
There are 3 major implementations of ISO 9523,
MNC (Multi Norm Certified), WTR (Walk to Ride), and GripWalk

ISO 9523 bindings are compatible with both ISO 9523 and ISO 5355 soles
ISO 9523 soles are compatible with MNC, ISO 9523, WTR, and GripWalk (ISO 9523) certified bindings, but not Alpine (ISO 5355) bindings.
However, not all ISO 9523 boots meet the GripWalk or WTR standards, so they won’t work in those bindings.

See Ski-Boot Binding Systems

My 2019-20 Dalbello Panterra 100s came with both 5355 and 9523 soles an a lever to unlock the upper cuff for a long range of motion for skinning or hiking while ski touring.
Due to the unique 3 piece - shell/cuff/tongue - construction it doesn't contain any compromises on the skiing performance.
