What are some industry standards for leather and footwear testing?

 

Physical testing: testing the physical properties of leather and footwear such as tensile strength, tear strength, abrasion resistance, water resistance, oil resistance, etc.

 

Chemical test: Test the chemical properties of leather and footwear such as acidity, water content, PH value, harmful substances content, etc.

 

Appearance test: Test the appearance quality of leather and footwear, such as color difference, spots, defects, wrinkles, etc.

 

Size test: Test whether the size of footwear meets the standard, such as sole length, heel height, lace length, etc.

 

Comfort test: test the wearing comfort of footwear, such as insole thickness, upper material, sole softness and hardness, etc.

 

Safety test: test the safety performance of footwear, such as anti-slip performance, anti-static performance, anti-puncture performance, etc.

 

Environmental protection test: test the environmental performance of leather and footwear, such as whether it meets national standards, whether it contains harmful substances, etc.
