Overview
ISO 18454:2018 - "Footwear - Standard atmospheres for conditioning and testing of footwear and components for footwear" specifies the ambient conditions required when conditioning and testing footwear and footwear components. The standard defines a reference atmosphere and two alternative standard atmospheres, sets tolerances, and gives basic rules for conditioning and testing to ensure repeatable, comparable test results across laboratories and manufacturers.
Key topics and requirements
- Reference standard atmosphere: 23.0 °C and 50.0 % relative humidity (RH).
- When conditioning is carried out at 23 °C / 50 % RH, it need not be reported; other conditions must be explicitly stated in test reports.
- Alternative atmospheres (use only by mutual agreement; reference applies in disputes):
- Specific standard atmosphere: 20.0 °C, 65.0 % RH
- Tropical standard atmosphere: 27.0 °C, 65.0 % RH
- Tolerance zone: temperature ±2.0 °C; relative humidity ±5.0 % RH.
- Conditioning: samples must be brought to the specified temperature/RH with free access of moving air to all surfaces; the conditioning period is specified in the relevant component or test specification (not defined in ISO 18454 itself).
- Testing: specimens shall be tested in the same atmosphere in which they were conditioned and the test must be carried out immediately after removal from the conditioning chamber.
Applications
ISO 18454:2018 is practical for:
- Footwear manufacturers and component suppliers establishing laboratory procedures for material and product testing.
- Independent testing laboratories performing mechanical, physical, or durability tests on shoes, insoles, soles, uppers and related components.
- Quality assurance and R&D teams standardizing pre-test conditioning to ensure consistent performance comparisons.
- Regulatory and certification bodies that require reproducible test environments for compliance verification.
Practical benefits include improved inter-lab comparability, reduced variability from ambient conditions (temperature and relative humidity), and clearer reporting requirements for test records.

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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
