Overview

EN 12800:2000 is a CEN European Standard titled "Footwear - Test methods for insoles - Dimensional stability." The standard specifies a method to determine the dimensional stability of insoles of any material after immersion in water. It is intended to provide repeatable, comparable insole test results for manufacturers, testing laboratories and conformity assessment bodies. (National adoption example: SIST EN 12800:2002.)

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Scope and applicability: Applies to insoles regardless of material; focuses specifically on dimensional changes resulting from immersion in water.
  • Specimen preparation: Defines the need for representative samples and appropriate conditioning prior to testing.
  • Immersion procedure: Describes immersion as the exposure method to assess dimensional effects caused by water; exact immersion parameters (time, temperature) are set in the standard text.
  • Dimensional measurement: Requires measurement of relevant dimensions (for example length, width, thickness or other specified coordinates) both before and after immersion.
  • Calculation of dimensional change: Specifies how to calculate dimensional stability (typically expressed as absolute or percentage change) and how results should be reported to ensure comparability.
  • Reporting and interpretation: Details required test report elements so results can be used for quality control, specification compliance, and technical communication.

Note: This summary outlines the high-level content. For precise test conditions, limits and procedural details, refer to the full EN 12800:2000 text.

Applications and who uses it

  • Footwear manufacturers: For quality control of insole designs and materials to ensure sizing stability after exposure to moisture.
  • Testing laboratories and certification bodies: To perform standardized, reproducible insole dimensional stability tests for regulatory or customer requirements.
  • R&D and material suppliers: To evaluate new insole materials and constructions for water-resistance-related dimensional performance.
  • Procurement and specification authors: To reference consistent test methods in purchase specifications and supplier agreements.
  • Retailers and brands: To validate product claims about fit and durability in wet conditions.

Related standards

  • National adoptions such as SIST EN 12800:2002 reflect EN 12800 implementation in member countries.
  • EN 12800 should be used in conjunction with other footwear test standards (general footwear test methods, material characterisation and end-use performance standards) when developing comprehensive test programs.
