This standard describes a test method for the determination 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 measured. It also defines conditions of ageing that can be used for production control.
It applies to all types of footwear (cementing, vulcanization, injection molding, etc.) where the evaluation of sole adhesion on the upper is needed and where the upper is continuously assembled (closed shoe).
Notes:
1 In all cases the objective should be to test the bond strength nearest to the edge of the assembly
2 The test need not be carried out when the bond has been made by grindery (using, for example, nails or screws) or stitching.
