Overview

SIST EN 15062:2006 is a European Standard developed by CEN that specifies test methods for assessing the natural ageing of adhesive bonds in leather and footwear materials. It focuses on solvent-based and dispersion adhesives used in footwear manufacturing. This standard simulates the effects of real-life wear and storage conditions on adhesive bonds by applying controlled laboratory ageing procedures. It is aimed at ensuring the durability and performance of adhesive joints in normal footwear use and storage.

The standard is essential for manufacturers, quality control laboratories, and researchers working with adhesives in the footwear industry. It helps evaluate how adhesive bonds deteriorate over time due to environmental factors such as heat, moisture, and humidity, enabling product improvement and compliance with durability requirements.

Key Topics

  • Scope and Application
    EN 15062 applies to adhesive bonds involving solvent-based and dispersion adhesives in normal worn and stored footwear. It covers natural ageing conditions but allows for custom modifications if justified.

  • Ageing Test Methods
    The standard outlines various ageing tests to simulate natural wear:

    • Warm Air Ageing
    • Wet Ageing
    • Wet/Dry Ageing
    • Moist Ageing
    • Moist/Dry Ageing
    • Humid Ageing
    • Humid/Dry Ageing
      These tests use controlled cycles of temperature, humidity, immersion in water, and drying phases to replicate real-world conditions.
  • Test Specimens Preparation
    Specimens are prepared according to EN 1392, representing typical footwear bonded materials. The report requires detailed identification of adhesives (type, manufacturer, batch) and materials (leather or sole type, polymer base, hardness).

  • Peel Resistance Measurement
    The test evaluates bond strength through peel resistance tests before and after ageing, using EN 1392 procedures. The percentage loss of adhesive strength indicates the impact of ageing.

  • Apparatus and Conditions
    Specialized equipment includes warm air cabinets, high humidity cabinets, evacuated glass containers for immersion, and grade 3 water. Standard atmosphere 23°C and 50% relative humidity is a reference condition.

  • Reporting and Evaluation
    Results are reported with complete adhesive and material descriptions, test conditions, peel resistance before and after ageing, and calculated strength loss percentages. This ensures transparency and repeatability.

Applications

  • Footwear Manufacturing
    Ensures adhesives provide sufficient durability and resistance to environmental stressors during typical life cycles of footwear products.

  • Quality Control
    Used by QC labs to routinely verify the ageing performance of adhesives in bonded leather and sole materials, supporting product consistency and customer satisfaction.

  • Research & Development
    Assists in developing new adhesive formulations and bonding processes by predicting long-term behaviour under simulated natural ageing.

  • Regulatory Compliance
    Supports compliance with European standards governing footwear durability and safety by providing harmonized test methods.

  • Material Selection
    Guides choices of adhesives and materials based on reliable data on ageing resistance under specified environmental conditions.

Related Standards

  • EN 1392 - Adhesives for leather and footwear materials - Test methods measuring bond strength. It is used for peel resistance measurements referenced in EN 15062.

  • EN 923:2005 - Adhesives - Terms and definitions. Provides standardized terminology for adhesive types and bonding characteristics.

  • EN ISO 868 - Determination of indentation hardness of plastics and ebonite, relevant for characterizing sole materials.

  • EN ISO 3696 - Specification for water used in analytical laboratory tests, including those for adhesive ageing tests.

  • ISO 554 - Standard atmospheres for conditioning and testing, defining the 23°C/50% relative humidity reference.

  • ISO 5725 (Parts 1-6) - Accuracy and precision of measurement methods, ensuring reliability of test repeatability and reproducibility.

This cohesive framework of standards ensures EN 15062’s test methods integrate smoothly within the broader regulatory and testing landscape for footwear adhesive quality and durability.
