EN 13832-1: 2006, 4.3 1 pair 2 discs yes 4.2 Degradation test 4.2.1 Principle The basic physical properties of the footwear component (upper and sole) are checked before and after contact with chemicals. 4.2.2 Apparatus 4.2.2.1 Degradation cell The apparatus shall be suitable for holding the test piece. A suitable apparatus is illustrated in Figure 1 and comprises a base-plate (5) and an open-ended cylindrical chamber (4) that is held tightly against the test piece (6) by the wing nuts (1) mounted on the bolts (2).
NOTE A hole of diameter approximately 50 mm may be made in the base-plate for the examination of the surface not in contact with the liquid.
During the test, the opening in the top of the chamber shall be closed by a close-fitting plug (3). 4.2.2.2 Miscellaneous a) wash flask, for example a Becher glass b) absorbent paper or lint free textile fabric

4.2.3 Preparation of samples If it is impossible to take the sample from the footwear, it may be taken from raw material representative of the shoe. The test piece for the upper shall consist of a disc of diameter (120 ± 10) mm, taken from the footwear (see Figure 2) or from the material intended for use in constructing the footwear. The lining shall be removed. NOTE During removal of the lining as small an amount as possible of polymeric material should be removed. For the sole, a disc of diameter (120 ± 10) mm shall be taken from the fore part of the sole. Discs with a thickness of (2,5 ± 0,1) mm shall be prepared according to the following steps: a) Remove the sole tread by splitting. b) Obtain the thickness of (2,5 ± 0,1) mm by removing the interior material. Except for the necessary handling during preparation, the surface in contact with the chemical shall be tested without any mechanical treatment. If there is seam in the sample upper, it shall be tested.

4.2.4 Procedure 4.2.4.1 Preliminary measurements For footwear in rubber material, measure the elongation at break according to EN ISO 20344:2004, 6.4 before degradation. Before chemical degradation the tests given in Table 2 shall be performed.

EN ISO 20344: 2004, 6.4 (not applicable for leather upper)
In addition, perform these measurements on all the test pieces. a) For the upper: weigh the test piece to the nearest milligram (mass Mu1).
b) For the sole: weigh the test piece to the nearest milligram (mass Ms1) and measure the hardness in accordance with EN ISO 868. 4.2.4.2 Degradation Place the test piece in the apparatus as indicated in Figure 1. The outer part shall be in contact with the chemical. Fill the chamber of the apparatus with the liquid chemical chosen for the test to a depth of approximately 15 mm and insert the plug (3). Maintain the apparatus for (23 ± 1) h either at a temperature of (23 ± 2) °C or at another temperature. In the latter case, report the temperature in the test report. Remove the liquid and release the test piece. Any surplus liquid should be removed from the surface of the test piece. 4.2.4.3 Measurements after degradation Wash the test piece with a large amount of water using a wash flask and dry the test piece by wiping with absorbent paper or a textile fabric that does not deposit lint. At the temperature of (23 ± 2) °C, in a maximum time of 30 min: a) for the upper: weigh the test piece to the nearest milligram (mass Mu2); b) for the sole: weigh the test piece to the nearest milligram (mass Ms2) and measure the hardness in accordance with EN ISO 868. Retain the degraded discs for use in the subsequent tests, as given in 4.2.5. Start the tests given in 4.2.5 immediately and complete the entire sequence of tests within the two hours of completing this degradation test. Samples that are too strongly affected by the degradation test do not need to be tested in accordance with 4.2.5. For example, when the samples: • have holes; • are swollen and distorted; • become brittle. 4.2.5 Assessment of the basic physical properties of the footwear after degradation 4.2.5.1 Preparation of samples As quickly as possible after completing the measurements in 4.2.4.3, cut the test pieces for the physical tests as defined in Figure 3 from the discs that have been tested in accordance with 4.2.4.
