Footwear Testing

China Updates Industry Standards for Children's Leather Shoes

Update of U.S. Personal Protective Footwear Standards: ASTM F2413-17 and ASTM F2892-17

NormalTCI can provide you with comprehensive physical and chemical testing for shoe materials and footwear.

Testing to evaluate appearance (such as color fastness testing, yellowing resistance testing, and color migration testing) is conducted using human sensory organs and with the aid of reference standards, standard photos, images, and charts.

● Physical Testing

Testing the performance, comfort, safety, and quality of products (heel pull strength, upper leather adhesion, accessory pull-out, sewing strength, lacing strength, flex resistance, adhesive strength, tensile strength, tear strength, burst strength, peel strength, abrasion resistance, slip resistance).

● Human Body Mechanics Performance Testing

Evaluate the interaction coordination between users and products (energy absorption, compression rebound, vertical rebound).

● Usage and Lifespan Testing

The relevant tests for evaluating the actual performance and lifespan of the product (fit evaluation tests, anti-aging tests).

● Biological and Chemical Testing (Restricted Substance Testing).

● Safety testing of auxiliary materials (small parts testing, performance testing of buttons and zippers).

Main testing standards for shoe materials and footwear products:

●The American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists (AATCC);

● American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM);

●Australian Standards Institute (AS);

●British Standards Institution (BS);

● Canadian Standards Board (CAN/CGSB);

● German Institute for Standardization (DIN);

●European Committee for Standardization (EN);

●China National Standardization Administration (GB);

●International Organization for Standardization (ISO);

●The Japan Industrial Association (JIS).
