SCOPE

This method is intended to determine the effect of heat on the sole bond of complete footwear, such as might be experienced during shop window display or transit. The method is applicable to all types of footwear with a sole attached by adhesive.

PRINCIPLE

Test footwear is stored in a pre-defined warm atmosphere for a set time.

Method 1 – Heat resistance – Any separation of the sole bond is assessed subjectively.

Method 2 – Heat ageing – The strength of the sole bond is assessed quantitatively using a recognised standard test procedure.
