Footwear - Test methods for insoles - Heel pin holding strength
This draft standard specifies a method to determines the ability of an insole component to hold a heel pin and to prevent its head from being pulled through the insole component. The method is applicable to insoles used in the seat of footwear with inside attached heels, and also to seat components where outside heel attachments are used and the heel pin is clenched.
Schuhe - Prüfverfahren für Brandsohlen - Haltefestigkeit der Absatznägel
Dieser Norm-Entwurf legt ein Verfahren für die Bestimmung der Fähigkeit eines Brandsohlenteils fest, einen Absatznagel zu halten und zu verhindern, daß der Nagelkopf durch das Brandsohlenteil gezogen wird. Dieses Verfahren ist anwendbar für Brandsohlen, die in der Formhaltung des Schuhs mit innen aufgenagelten Absätzen verwendet werden sowie für Formhaltungsteile, bei denen die Absätze außen aufgenagelt sind und der Absatznagel genietet wird.
Chaussures - Méthodes d'essai applicables aux premières de montage - Tenue des clous pour talon
La présente norme européenne prescrit une méthode de détermination de l'aptituded'une semelle première à retenir un clou pour talon et à empêcher la tête du clou de la transpercer. La présente méthode est applicable d'une part, aux semelles premières utilisées dans les emboîtages d'articles chaussants dont les talons sont fixés par l'intérieur, et d'autre part, aux emboîtages d'articles dont le talon est fixé par l'extérieur, le clou pour talon étant aplati.

Overview
EN 12745:1999 is a European standard established by the CEN (European Committee for Standardization) that defines test methods for assessing the heel pin holding strength of insoles used in footwear. This standard is particularly focused on evaluating how effectively an insole component can retain a heel pin and prevent the pin's head from being pulled through the insole material. It applies to insoles in footwear designs where heels are attached either inside the shoe with inside-attached heels or where heels are attached on the outside and the heel pin is clenched.
Key Topics
- Heel Pin Holding Strength: The standard specifies a reproducible test method to measure the mechanical resistance of insoles against forces that might dislodge the heel pin.
- Insole Component Testing: Focuses on the insole part, which plays a critical role in securely holding the heel pin in place.
- Applicable Footwear Types:
- Shoes with inside-attached heels
- Shoes with outside heel attachments using clenching methods
- Test Conditions: Procedures ensure consistent assessment under defined conditions, ensuring reliable and comparable results across different types of insoles and footwear.
- Material Performance: Evaluates the durability and compatibility of insole materials used in the footwear manufacturing process.
Applications
This standard is essential for footwear manufacturers, quality control laboratories, and materials engineers involved in the shoe production process. Key applications include:
- Quality Assurance: Ensures insoles meet minimum mechanical strength requirements to prevent heel pin dislodgement during regular shoe use.
- Product Development: Assists in selecting or engineering insole components that improve the longevity and safety of heel attachments.
- Regulatory Compliance: Helps manufacturers comply with European footwear safety and quality standards.
- Consumer Safety: Reduces the risk of heel failure by verifying the secure fixation of heel pins, enhancing overall product reliability.
- Material Testing Laboratories: Provides an established protocol to evaluate samples for consistency and durability.
