Overview
EN 15307:2014 (CEN) specifies minimum strength requirements for sole–upper bonds in footwear made using solvent‑based or dispersion adhesives. It covers four footwear stress classes (A–D) and defines test conditions, evaluation criteria and reporting requirements to ensure reliable bonding between uppers and soles under specified laboratory conditions.
Key SEO terms: EN 15307:2014, adhesives for leather, sole‑upper bonds, footwear adhesives, peel resistance, creep resistance, ageing test.
Key topics
- Scope and classification
- Applies to four classes of footwear by stress on the sole–upper bond:
- Class A – Low stress (infants, indoor, fashion)
- Class B – Medium stress (town, casual)
- Class C – High stress (children, general sports)
- Class D – Very high stress (mountain footwear)
- Applies to four classes of footwear by stress on the sole–upper bond:
- Minimum strength requirements
- Peel resistance after 4 days at (23 ± 2) °C:
- Class A ≥ 2.5 N/mm
- Class B ≥ 3.0 N/mm or ≥ 2.5 N/mm with material failure
- Class C ≥ 4.0 N/mm or ≥ 3.0 N/mm with material failure
- Class D ≥ 5.0 N/mm or ≥ 3.5 N/mm with material failure
- Initial peel resistance: ≥ 1.0 N/mm measured 2 minutes after assembly at (23 ± 2) °C.
- Creep resistance: Under 1.5 kg load at (50 ± 2) °C for 10 minutes, separation < 10 mm.
- Ageing: According to EN 15062; aged and reconditioned bonds must retain ≥ 80% of initial strength and still meet the minimums above.
- Peel resistance after 4 days at (23 ± 2) °C:
- Test methods and conditioning
- Peel and creep tests referenced to EN 1392.
- Conditioning in standard atmosphere 23/50 per ISO 554 (storage times specified for each test).
- Failure modes identified per EN ISO 10365.
- Documentation
- Test report must include adhesive and material identification, bonding procedure, storage conditions, test results, failure mode, and factors affecting results.
Applications
- Ensures consistent bond performance in footwear manufacturing, repair and product development.
- Used by:
- Adhesive manufacturers (formulation and quality control)
- Footwear manufacturers and OEMs (incoming material acceptance, process validation)
- Test laboratories and certification bodies (quality certification, compliance testing)
- R&D teams (material pairing, adhesive selection, durability testing)
Related standards
- EN 1392 - Testing of bond strength under specified conditions
- EN 15062 - Ageing of bonds under specified conditions
- EN 923, EN ISO 10365, EN ISO 868, ISO 554 - terms, failure patterns, Shore hardness, conditioning
EN 15307:2014 is a practical, test‑based standard for anyone responsible for specifying or verifying sole‑upper adhesive performance in leather and footwear production.
