Overview
ISO 20877:2011 is an international standard that specifies test methods for determining the thermal insulation properties of whole footwear. Established by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), this standard provides a reliable method for measuring the insulation performance of closed footwear or boots against heat and cold. The primary purpose is to deliver accurate data for assessing footwear comfort in various thermal environments. Notably, ISO 20877:2011 excludes footwear designed as personal protective equipment (PPE) and does not address safety aspects.
Key Topics
- Thermal Insulation Measurement: The standard defines the method for evaluating temperature differences on the inner surfaces of footwear, such as the vamp or insocks, which influence user comfort.
- Test Conditions: The methodology includes tests against cold temperatures (regulated between −5 °C and −20 °C) and heat (hot plate temperatures from 50 °C to 100 °C), replicating real-life thermal exposure.
- Apparatus and Materials: Utilizes equipment in accordance with ISO 20344:2011 to ensure standardized and reproducible test environments.
- Sampling and Conditioning: Emphasizes the use of whole footwear items as test pieces, with at least two samples tested per condition for accuracy.
- Test Reporting: Specifies comprehensive reporting requirements including test conditions, temperature readings, sample descriptions, and any deviations from the prescribed method.
Applications
- Footwear Manufacturers: Use ISO 20877:2011 to validate and improve the thermal comfort of their product lines, helping to meet consumer demands for warmth or breathability.
- Quality Control: Enables objective assessment of insulation properties to maintain consistent product standards in manufacturing.
- Product Development: Assists designers in selecting materials and constructions to achieve optimal thermal performance.
- Retail and Consumer Guidance: Provides scientific data that can be used to market footwear with verified thermal attributes, enhancing buyer confidence.
- Research and Testing Laboratories: Offers a standardized protocol for conducting footwear thermal insulation tests, facilitating international comparisons and certifications.
Related Standards
- ISO 20344:2011 - Personal protective equipment - Test methods for footwear: Provides the testing framework for footwear used as PPE and the specific apparatus and procedures referenced by ISO 20877 for thermal tests.
- ISO 19952 - Footwear - Vocabulary: Defines terms used within ISO 20877 to promote clarity and uniformity in footwear testing terminology.
- Other ISO Footwear Standards: Complementary standards addressing different aspects such as mechanical properties, slip resistance, and material specifications.
By adhering to ISO 20877:2011, stakeholders can ensure that thermal insulation testing of footwear is conducted with precision and consistency, directly contributing to improved comfort and performance in various environmental conditions. This standard is essential for industry professionals seeking to enhance product quality and consumer satisfaction in the global footwear market.

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 20877 was prepared by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) Technical Committee
CEN/TC 309, Footwear, in collaboration with Technical Committee ISO/TC 216, Footwear, in accordance with
the Agreement on technical cooperation between ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement).
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 20877:2001), which has been technically revised.

Avant-propos
L’ISO (Organisation internationale de normalisation) est une fédération mondiale d’organismes nationaux de
normalisation (comités membres de l’ISO). L’élaboration des Normes internationales est en général confiée aux
comités techniques de l’ISO. Chaque comité membre intéressé par une étude a le droit de faire partie du comité
technique créé à cet effet. Les organisations internationales, gouvernementales et non gouvernementales,
en liaison avec l’ISO participent également aux travaux. L’ISO collabore étroitement avec la Commission
électrotechnique internationale (CEI) en ce qui concerne la normalisation électrotechnique.
Les Normes internationales sont rédigées conformément aux règles données dans les Directives ISO/CEI, Partie 2.
La tâche principale des comités techniques est d’élaborer les Normes internationales. Les projets de Normes
internationales adoptés par les comités techniques sont soumis aux comités membres pour vote. Leur publication
comme Normes internationales requiert l’approbation de 75 % au moins des comités membres votants.
L’attention est appelée sur le fait que certains des éléments du présent document peuvent faire l’objet de droits
de propriété intellectuelle ou de droits analogues. L’ISO ne saurait être tenue pour responsable de ne pas avoir
identifié de tels droits de propriété et averti de leur existence.
L’ISO 20877 a été élaborée par le comité technique CEN/TC 309, Chaussure, du Comité européen de
normalisation (CEN) en collaboration avec le comité technique ISO/TC 216, Chaussure, conformément à
l’Accord de coopération technique entre l’ISO et le CEN (Accord de Vienne).
Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition (ISO 20877:2001), qui a fait l’objet d’une
révision technique.
