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 European Standard specifies a method for the determination of abrasion resistance for outsole, irrespective of the material.

This document specifies three methods for determining the shape retention properties and compression strength of a doomed test specimen.
