Overview

EN 12961:2001/A1:2005 is a European standard from CEN that specifies how to determine the optimum activation temperature and the maximum activation life for solvent‑based and dispersion adhesives used with leather and footwear materials. This amendment (A1, 2005) updates the original EN 12961:2001 and includes a specific revision to the heat‑activation life requirement. ICS codes: 61.060 (Footwear) and 83.180 (Adhesives).

Key topics and requirements

  • Scope: Test methods and assessment criteria for activation behavior of adhesives applied to leather and footwear components (solvent‑based and dispersion systems).
  • Optimum activation temperature: Procedures to identify the activation temperature range that delivers reliable bonding performance during footwear assembly (applies to heat‑activated adhesives).
  • Maximum activation life (heat activation life): Criteria for the usable period after an adhesive has been activated-amendment A1 clarifies the heat activation life wording to read “28 days (or 16 hours) or more” in Subclause 9.2.4.
  • Applicability: Targets adhesives typically used in shoe assembly (lining, uppers, soles) where activation and open/activation time affect production throughput and bond quality.
  • Standardization details: Prepared by CEN/TC 193 “Adhesives”; amendment approved 21 March 2005 and intended for national adoption by CEN members.

Practical applications

  • Optimize production settings: determine the correct heat activation temperature to maximize bond strength while minimizing cycle time.
  • Quality control and acceptance: establish and verify the maximum activation life to ensure adhesives retain performance during assembly and short‑term storage after activation.
  • Materials selection and product development: compare solvent‑based versus dispersion adhesives for process compatibility with leather substrates and assembly equipment.
  • Failure analysis and troubleshooting: use activation temperature and life data to diagnose bonding defects in footwear manufacture.

Who should use this standard

  • Footwear manufacturers and OEMs
  • Adhesive formulators and suppliers (R&D and technical service)
  • Test laboratories and quality assurance teams
  • Product certification bodies and compliance officers responsible for footwear assembly processes

Related standards

  • Other CEN EN standards on adhesives, leather testing and footwear performance (consult your national standards body or CEN for up‑to‑date cross‑references).
