Standards
This Standard describes a test method for the determining of the resistance to separation of the upper from the outsole or to separate adjacent layers of the outsole or to cause tear failure of the upper or the sole is measures. It also defines conditions of aging that can be used for production control. It applies to all types of footwear (cementing, vulcanization, injection moulding, etc.) where the evaluation of sole adhesion on the upper is needed and where the upper is continuously assembles (closed shoe).

This document is applicable to all types of footwear (cementing, vulcanisation, injection moulding, etc.) where the evaluation of sole adhesion on the upper is needed and where the upper is continuously assembled (closed shoe).
NOTE 1 In all cases the objective is to test the bond strength nearest to the edge of the assembly.
NOTE 2 The test need not be carried out when the bond has been made by grindery (using, for example, nails or screws) or stitching.
This document specifies a method for the determination of the abrasion resistance for outsoles,
This document specifies three methods for determining the shape retention properties and compression strength of a doomed test specimen.
