ISO/TC 216/WG 2 - Footwear and environmental aspects

This document specifies a range of procedures for the sample preparation of footwear and footwear components to carry out chemical tests. It further specifies how to designate the samples. The sampling procedures specified are designed to allow concurrent chemical testing for footwear This document is applicable to all types of footwear and footwear components.

This document defines lists of critical chemical substances potentially present in footwear and footwear components. This document describes the critical chemical substances, their potential risks of nocuousness, in which materials they could be found, and which test method(s) can be used to quantify them. The test methods listed indicate the state of the art. For some substances, a test method is not available. This document is applicable to any kind of footwear and footwear components.

This document specifies a method for the determination of the content of dimethyl fumarate (DMFU) by gas chromatograph with single quadrupole mass spectrometer (GC-MS) or tandem quadrupole mass spectrometer (GC-MS/MS). This document is applicable to all types of footwear and footwear components except metal parts.

ISO 20536:2017 specifies a method to determine the amount of phenol in footwear and footwear components. It is applicable to all parts of footwear except for metal parts. NOTE ISO/TR 16178:2012, Table 1 defines which materials are included in this determination.
