Overview
EN ISO 17702:2018 - titled "Footwear - Test methods for uppers - Water resistance (ISO 17702:2003)" - specifies a laboratory test method to determine the resistance of footwear upper materials to water penetration on flexing. Adopted by CEN from ISO 17702:2003, this standard defines how to prepare specimens, the apparatus and cyclic-flexing conditions, and how to record water penetration, absorption and transmission to assess suitability for end use.
Key Topics
- Scope and purpose: Measures water penetration through upper materials during repeated flexing to evaluate water resistance for footwear applications.
- Specimen preparation: Cut two rectangular specimens (75 mm × 60 mm) in principal and perpendicular directions, mark material direction, lightly buff outer surface, and condition specimens in standard atmosphere (per EN 12222) for at least 24 h.
- Apparatus requirements:
- Cylindrical clamps (diameter 30.0 mm ± 0.5 mm) mounted coaxially; max separation 40 mm ± 0.5 mm.
- Flexing mechanism with selectable throws: 2.0 mm, 3.0 mm, 4.0 mm or 6.0 mm (tolerances apply) at about 50 cycles/min ± 1.
- Water reservoir adjustable up to 5 mm above cylinder axes.
- Equipment for stiffness measurement, balances, abrasive paper (grade 180), timers, and grade‑3 distilled/deionised water (EN ISO 3696).
- Test procedure:
- Determine appropriate throw based on material stiffness using a stiffness-measuring setup.
- Clamp specimen to form a trough, immerse in water, apply cyclic flexing and record time to water penetration.
- Optional measurement of mass absorption (water retained by specimen) and transmission (water passed through).
- Results & reporting: Record stiffness, time to penetration, absorbed and transmitted mass, conditioning details, apparatus settings, and specimen orientation.
Applications
- Footwear manufacturers: Product development and quality control for water-resistant uppers, boots and outdoor shoes.
- Material suppliers: Verify performance of leathers, textiles, coated fabrics and membranes intended for uppers.
- Independent test laboratories: Standardized testing for certification, supplier validation, and comparative performance data.
- R&D and compliance teams: Evaluate design choices (linings, membranes, coatings) and support claims about water resistance.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 17702 was prepared by CEN (as EN 13518:2001) and was adopted, under a special “fast-track
procedure”, by Technical Committee ISO/TC 216, Footwear, in parallel with its approval by the ISO member
bodies.
For the purposes of international standardization, a list of corresponding International and European
Standards for which equivalents are not given in EN 13518 has been added as Annex ZZ.
