Abstract

This Uganda Standard describes a test method for determining the resistance to separation of the upper from the outsole, for separating adjacent layers of the outsole or for causing tear failure of the upper or the sole. It also defines conditions of ageing that can be used for production control. This document is applicable to all types of footwear (cementing, vulcanisation, injection moulding, etc.) where the evaluation of sole adhesion on the upper is needed and where the upper is continuously assembled (closed shoe). (This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition, US ISO 17708:2003, Footwear -Test methods for whole shoe -Upper sole adhesion, which has been technically revised). This standard was PUBLISHED on 2020-12-15.
