Footwear - Test methods for the assessment of ecological criteria

This European Standard has been designed to define certain test methods necessary to issue the footwear Ecolabel, Many of the criteria are defined in the core of the text. However, for some criteria, this European Standard provides important clarification or gives a test method to assess the ecological criteria.
NOTE   The footwear Ecolabel has been published in the OJEC of July 28th, 2009.
This European Standard applies to any kind of footwear except those containing electrical or electronic components.
The chemical analysis of the metallic components is outside of the scope of this European Standard.

ANMERKUNG   Das Eco-Label für Schuhe wurde im Amtsblatt vom 28. Juli 2009 veröffentlicht.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt für jede Art von Schuhwerk, mit Ausnahme derer, die elektrische oder elektronische Bestandteile enthalten.
Die chemische Analyse von Bestandteilen aus Metall fällt nicht in den Anwendungsbereich dieser Europäischen Norm.

Chaussure - Méthodes d'essai pour l'évaluation de critères écologiques

La présente Norme européenne définit certaines méthodes d'essai requises pour l'attribution du label écologique communautaire Ecolabel. Pour certains critères, la présente Norme européenne fournit des éclaircissements importants ou indique une méthode d'essai permettant d'évaluer les critères écologiques.
NOTE   Le label écologique communautaire Ecolabel destiné à être attribué aux articles chaussants a fait l'objet d'une décision publiée dans le Journal officiel du 28 juillet 2009.
La présente Norme européenne s'applique à tous les articles chaussants, à l'exception de ceux munis de composants électriques ou électroniques.
L'analyse chimique des composants métalliques ne relève pas du domaine d'application de la présente Norme européenne.

This test method identifies the main chemicals of potential hazard which may contaminate the environment after disposal or incineration. There shall be no Arsenic, Cadmium and Lead in the materials used for the product assembly or in the final product. Presence of heavy metals shall be established by either:  testing the materials individually; or  testing the upper and lower components of the shoe as composite groups of materials. NOTE The total concentration of other heavy metals (see Table 1) can be determined using this method. Table 1  Possible heavy metals determined Aluminium (Al)

When the cycles are completed, transfer the resulting solution, filtering it through a filter paper (4.1.4.3), to a volumetric flask (4.1.4.2) and adjust the volume to 100 ml with demineralised water (4.1.3.5).
One blank (acid solution) is treated at the same time and a validation with this reference solution is carried out. The digestion vessels shall be cleaned with special attention once the acid digestion is finished. 4.1.6 Determination of heavy metals content Table 3 defines the recommended options for the determination of heavy metals in footwear.
