Overview

EN ISO 17703:2018 (identical to ISO 17703:2003) specifies a standardized laboratory test method for assessing the high temperature behaviour of footwear uppers and complete upper assemblies. The standard measures the effect of heat exposure on tensile properties-principally breaking force and elongation at break-to judge suitability for end use (particularly relevant to moulding-on rubber and vulcanised footwear).

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Scope: Applies to uppers or complete upper assemblies irrespective of material; evaluates resistance to elevated temperatures by measuring changes in tensile strength.
  • Test principle: Specimens are pressed between hot rigid platens for a defined time, then tested for tensile properties.
  • Apparatus:
    • Rapid-acting platen press able to apply 1 000 kPa ± 50 kPa over an area of 160 mm × 25 mm.
    • Smooth metal upper and lower platens with controlled surface temperatures.
    • Thermometer (surface-reading, ±1 °C).
  • Typical platen temperatures and pressing times (from Table 1):
    • Simulating unheated lasts: upper platen 105 ± 5 °C, lower platen 85 ± 5 °C, 12.0 ± 0.5 min.
    • Simulating heated lasts: upper platen 180 ± 5 °C, lower platen 110 ± 5 °C, 8.0 ± 0.5 min.
  • Sampling & conditioning: Test pieces prepared per prEN 13522; after heat treatment, store in a standard controlled atmosphere (EN 12222) for at least 72 h before tensile testing.
  • Results & reporting:
    • Report mean breaking force (N/mm) and mean elongation at break (%) before and after treatment.
    • Calculate percentage change: ((after − before) / before) × 100.
    • Test report must include platen temperatures, pressing time, material description, linings/reinforcements, method reference, date, and deviations.

Applications and users

EN ISO 17703 is used by:

  • Footwear manufacturers for product development and validating upper materials for moulding and vulcanisation processes.
  • Quality control and materials testing laboratories assessing thermal durability and dimensional integrity of uppers.
  • Suppliers of leathers, textiles, coated fabrics and laminates to demonstrate performance under elevated temperatures.
  • Compliance teams referencing standardized test data for technical specifications, supplier contracts, or regulatory dossiers.

Practical benefits include objective comparison of materials, identifying heat-sensitive components (adhesives, interlinings), and reducing production defects during hot-forming processes.

Related standards

  • EN 12222 - standard atmospheres for conditioning and testing (required for specimen conditioning).
  • prEN 13522 - tensile strength and elongation test method referenced for specimen preparation and tensile testing.
  • EN 13400 - sampling location and conditioning guidance.

ISO 17703:2003(E)
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 17703 was prepared by CEN (as EN 13519:2001) and was adopted, under a special “fast-track
procedure”, by Technical Committee ISO/TC 216, Footwear, in parallel with its approval by the ISO member
bodies.
For the purposes of international standardization, a list of corresponding International and European
Standards for which equivalents are not given in EN 13519 has been added as Annex ZZ.
