Standards

This Code of Practice lays down guidelines for the purchasing, (particularly for children) care and maintenance of leather, swede and canvas footwear as well as that of man-made materials.  It deals with the proper procedures for handling complaints.

This standard relates to the labelling of all footwear.

This standard specifies the requirements, labelling, storage and tests methods for footwear.

This European Standard specifies a test method to determine the lastability of uppers or complete upper assembly irrespective of the material in order to assess the suitability for the end use.

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 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.
