Standards

This European has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 309 “Footwear”, the secretariat of which is held by AENOR. It shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by May 2002, and conflicting national standards shall be drawn at the latest by May 2002.

This European Standard specifies a test method for assessing the tear strength of upper, linings and insocks or complete upper assembly, irrespective of t material, in order to assess the suitability for the end use.

This European Standard specifies a method for determining the flex resistance of outsoles. This method is intended to assess the effect of sole materials and surface patterns on cut growth. This method is applied to outsoles that, in accordance with the test mentioned in Clasuse6, have a maximum longitudinal rigidity of 30 N.

This European Standard specifies the sampling location, preparation and duration of conditioning of samples and test pieces for footwear components and footwear, to carry out the test methods needed to determine the suitable properties for the end use.

These are the general conditions unless otherwise stated in the corresponding test method.

This document specifies a method for the determination of the bondability of heat activated and solvent activated stiffeners and toepuffs to upper and lining materials.

This European Standard specifies a test method for determining the resistance of a footwear upper material to water penetration on flexing, in order to assess the suitability for the end use.

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.

This guide gives guidance on product certification systems by identifying their various elements based on current practices. It is intended for use by product certification bodies and other interested parties wishing to understand systems, , develop, establish or compare third- party product certification, This Guide is not intended to describe all existing forms of product certification, It does not address first and second- party product conformity assessment.
