Overview
ISO/TS 20953:2024 is a technical specification established by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that sets performance requirements for footwear components-specifically linings and insocks. This standard applies regardless of the material used and aims to ensure the components' suitability for their intended use and overall fitness for purpose. It provides manufacturers and suppliers with uniform test methods to evaluate compliance with essential and additional performance criteria. The document covers all types of footwear, including infant, casual, work, sport, trekking, and heavy-duty shoes, making it a comprehensive reference for footwear component quality standards.
Key Topics
- Classification of Footwear Components: The standard classifies footwear into four exposure categories (Classes A to D), ranging from slight to heavy use, covering infant slippers to heavy-purpose sports shoes.
- Performance Requirements:
- Essential requirements must always be met and include tear strength, seam strength, abrasion resistance, color fastness, water vapor permeability, and resistance to staining.
- Additional requirements, such as perspiration resistance and flex resistance, can be agreed upon between component suppliers and manufacturers.
- Test Methods: ISO/TS 20953:2024 references numerous test methods for evaluating lining and insock performance, including:
- Tear strength (ISO 17696)
- Seam strength (ISO 17697)
- Abrasion resistance (ISO 17704)
- Water vapor permeability (ISO 17699)
- Color fastness to rubbing (ISO 17700)
- Water absorption and desorption (ISO 22649)
- Perspiration resistance (ISO 22652)
- Flex resistance for coated materials (ISO 17694)
- Marking and Labelling: Optional marking to indicate compliance with this standard must include the manufacturer's identification, the footwear class, and a reference to ISO/TS 20953:2024. The markings should not be visible on the finished footwear.
Applications
ISO/TS 20953:2024 is crucial for both footwear component manufacturers and footwear producers who aim to guarantee the quality and durability of linings and insocks across multiple footwear categories:
- Footwear Manufacturing: Ensures components meet rigorous performance criteria, preventing failures common in linings and insocks that affect user comfort and product longevity.
- Quality Assurance: Provides standardized test procedures to audit and verify component quality consistently.
- Material Selection: Helps in selecting suitable materials for linings and insocks based on the class of footwear and expected usage conditions.
- Product Development: Supports innovation by defining baseline performance parameters for new footwear designs and technologies.
- Supplier Verification: Offers suppliers a benchmark to demonstrate compliance and reliability to manufacturers.
- Customer Confidence: Facilitates clear communication about product quality and durability, enhancing brand reputation and consumer trust.
Related Standards
ISO/TS 20953:2024 aligns with and references a suite of other ISO standards that provide detailed test methods and terminology supporting footwear component performance evaluation:
- ISO 17694: Test methods for flex resistance of uppers and linings
- ISO 17696: Tear strength testing for uppers, linings, and insocks
- ISO 17697: Seam strength testing of uppers, linings, and insocks
- ISO 17699: Water vapor permeability and absorption tests for uppers and linings
- ISO 17700: Color fastness to rubbing and bleeding for upper components and insocks
- ISO 17704: Abrasion resistance of uppers, linings, and insocks
- ISO 17709: Sampling, preparation, and conditioning of samples for testing
- ISO 19952: Footwear vocabulary and definitions
- ISO 22649: Water absorption and desorption tests for insoles and insocks
- ISO 22652: Perspiration resistance tests for insoles, linings, and insocks
- ISO 80000-1: General quantities and units for consistent measurement reporting
By integrating these standards, ISO/TS 20953:2024 ensures a holistic approach to evaluating footwear lining and insock components, providing a robust quality framework for the footwear industry.
