Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/patents).

— 5,00 g sodium chloride;
— 2,20 g sodium dihydrogen orthophosphate dihydrate.
After preparation, the solution is brought to pH 5,5 with 0,1 M hydrochloric acid solution.
The solution should be stored at 4 °C ± 1 °C. If the solution is more than one week old, its pH should be
checked and adjusted as necessary before use. Discard the solution if precipitated solids develop.
NOTE Information about the producers of test machines and accessories can be requested from the
Committee Manager of TC 216.
5 Sampling and conditioning
5.1 Method A
5.1.1 Rectangular test specimens of sufficient size to be clamped firmly on the test platform (4.1.1.1)
are required. The test specimens can be cut from the material in any direction. Typically, test specimens
shall be of minimum dimensions 100 mm × 25 mm. In case of stretch materials, the test specimen should
be cut from the direction that is less elastic.
For test machines that have test platforms of width 25 mm, separate test specimens are required for
each number of rubs or test condition to be used.
For test machines that have wider test platforms and the ability to position the test finger (4.1.1.5) at
different positions across the width of the platform, wider test specimens can be used so that separate
rubbing tracks can be used side by side.
5.1.2 Place the test specimens in a conditioned atmosphere as specified in ISO 18454 for 24 h prior to
testing.
NOTE Test specimens can be cut either from materials likely to be used in footwear or from made-up uppers
or finished footwear.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of

1 Scope
1.1 This standard specifies three test methods (method A, method B and method C) for assessing the
degree of transfer of a material’s surface colour during dry or wet rubbing. The methods are applicable
to all footwear upper, lining and insock irrespective of the material, in order to assess the suitability for
the end use.
1.2 This standard also specifies a method (method D) for determining the likelihood of colour
bleeding from materials and components. The method is applicable to all footwear upper, lining and
insock irrespective of the material as well as sewing threads and shoe laces due to the action of water
and artificial perspiration solutions, in order to assess the suitability for the end use.

different positions across the width of the platform, wider test specimens can be used so that separate
rubbing tracks can be used side by side.
5.1.2 Place the test specimens in a conditioned atmosphere as specified in ISO 18454 for 24 h prior
to test.
NOTE Test specimens can be cut either from materials likely to be used in footwear or from made-up uppers
or finished footwear.

5.2 Method B – Circular rub
5.2.1 Test specimens shall be of a sufficient size to allow them to be fixed firmly to the test platform.
Typically, test specimens shall be either squares of 60 mm × 60 mm, or circles 60 mm diameter;
alternatively, a 60 mm wide strip can be used for several tests.
For materials cut test specimens from a range of positions across the full usable width and length of the
sheet material. For a material with a woven structure this should prevent any two specimens containing
the same warp or weft threads.
For shoe uppers avoid seams, perforations and other areas where a flat test specimen cannot be cut.
5.2.2 Place the test specimens in a conditioned atmosphere as specified in ISO 18454 for 24 h prior
to test.
5.3 Method C – Crockmeter
5.3.1 Two representative test specimens, each measuring not less than 140 mm × 50 mm, are required.
One for dry rubbing and the other for wet rubbing.
5.3.2 Place the test specimens in a conditioned atmosphere as specified in ISO 18454 for 24 h prior
to test.
5.4 Method D
5.4.1 Test specimens can be taken either from materials likely to be used for uppers, lining and insock
or from made-up uppers, lining and insock, or finished products.
5.4.2 Sheet material or specimens from shoe uppers, lining and insock.
5.4.2.1 Cut one rectangular test specimen 110 mm ± 10 mm × 55 mm ± 5 mm for each method of the
test to be carried out. If insufficient material is available, cut several smaller test specimens which can be
fitted together to produce a rectangle of this size.
5.4.2.2 If the material to be tested is patterned, cut sufficient additional specimens to ensure that all
the colours of the pattern are in contact with all six sections of the multifibre fabric (see 4.4.3).
5.4.2.3 Make test specimen assemblies by placing pieces of multifibre fabric (see 4.4.3) in contact
with the surfaces of the specimens to be tested so that this surface of the specimen is in contact with all
six components of the multifibre fabric. If testing both surfaces of the test specimen, sandwich the test
specimen between two pieces of multifibre fabric.
5.4.3 Yarn, shoe laces or loose fibre:
5.4.3.1 For each method of test to be carried out, lay out sufficient yarn, shoe lace or fibre to completely
cover the surface of one piece of the multifibre fabric (see 4.4.3).
5.4.3.2 If more convenient the yarn, shoe lace or fibre may be cut into lengths, 100 mm ± 5 mm.
5.4.3.3 Place the yarn, shoe lace or fibre between two pieces of the multifibre fabric (see 4.4.3) so that
approximately equal amounts of the yarn, shoe lace or fibre are in contact with each of the six components
of the multifibre fabric. It is likely that the yarns, shoe laces or fibres will overlap one another to some
extent and this should be kept to a minimum. Avoid creating areas of several thicknesses of yarn, shoe
laces or fibre as this will lead to uneven pressure on the test specimen assembly during the test.

5.4.4 Retain a portion of the material to use as a reference for visually comparing any colour change of
the test specimen.
6 Test method
6.1 Principle
6.1.1 Methods A and B
Regarding Method A – Veslic, a test specimen of the material is rubbed by a dry or wet wool felt pad
under a constant contact force in the to-and-fro direction.
In Method B – Circular rub, a test specimen of the material is rubbed by a dry or wet wool felt pad under
a constant contact force, rotational against the surface of the materials.
The test is stopped after a predetermined number of cycles or revolutions and the damage to, or transfer
of, colour is assessed subjectively using a geometric grey scale. Four versions of the test are described
for each method:
— Dry rub.
— Wet rub.
— Perspiration rub.
— White spirit rub.
In addition, for method B, a further test is described: Dry rub after wetting from the back with organic
solvent.
6.1.2 Method C
Specimens are rubbed with a dry or wet rubbing cloth attached to a cylindrical finger that is moved to
and fro under controlled conditions. Colour transferred to the white cloth is assessed subjectively using
a geometric grey scale for staining.
6.1.3 Method D
