This draft standard specifies a method to determines the ability of an insole component to hold a heel pin and to prevent its head from being pulled through the insole component. The method is applicable to insoles used in the seat of footwear with inside attached heels, and also to seat components where outside heel attachments are used and the heel pin is clenched.
Schuhe - Prüfverfahren für Brandsohlen - Haltefestigkeit der Absatznägel
Dieser Norm-Entwurf legt ein Verfahren für die Bestimmung der Fähigkeit eines Brandsohlenteils fest, einen Absatznagel zu halten und zu verhindern, daß der Nagelkopf durch das Brandsohlenteil gezogen wird. Dieses Verfahren ist anwendbar für Brandsohlen, die in der Formhaltung des Schuhs mit innen aufgenagelten Absätzen verwendet werden sowie für Formhaltungsteile, bei denen die Absätze außen aufgenagelt sind und der Absatznagel genietet wird.
Chaussures - Méthodes d'essai applicables aux premières de montage - Tenue des clous pour talon
La présente norme européenne prescrit une méthode de détermination de l'aptituded'une semelle première à retenir un clou pour talon et à empêcher la tête du clou de la transpercer. La présente méthode est applicable d'une part, aux semelles premières utilisées dans les emboîtages d'articles chaussants dont les talons sont fixés par l'intérieur, et d'autre part, aux emboîtages d'articles dont le talon est fixé par l'extérieur, le clou pour talon étant aplati.

Overview
EN 12745:1999 - Footwear - Test methods for insoles - Heel pin holding strength is a European standard developed by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). This standard establishes a specific test method to evaluate the capacity of an insole component to securely retain a heel pin, thereby preventing the heel pin's head from being pulled through the insole during use. The scope includes insoles used in the seat of footwear with inside-attached heels and seat components for footwear with outside heel attachments where the heel pin is clenched. Ensuring heel pin holding strength is a key factor in the durability, safety, and comfort of finished footwear products.
Key Topics
Purpose of the Test:
The standard outlines a method designed to objectively measure the holding strength of insoles concerning heel pins, critical in preventing structural failures that could affect wearer safety and product longevity.Applicability:
EN 12745:1999 applies to all footwear types with inside-attached heels and to seat components where outside heel attachments are employed with a clenched heel pin.Quality Assurance:
By specifying uniform testing procedures, this standard supports quality control practices, enabling manufacturers and testing laboratories to ensure consistent product performance and compliance with European footwear safety requirements.Footwear Safety:
Evaluating the heel pin holding strength guards against insole or heel failures, which could cause user injury or product returns, emphasizing consumer protection.
Applications
Implementing EN 12745:1999 brings significant practical benefits across the footwear industry:
Footwear Manufacturers:
- Validate the holding strength of insoles before assembly into finished footwear.
- Ensure finished shoe products meet safety and durability expectations, reducing liability and warranty claims.
Testing Laboratories:
- Provide standardized testing services for heel pin holding strength as part of accreditation or product certification programs.
Product Development Teams:
- Assess the compatibility of new materials and designs for insoles to maintain reliable heel attachment over the product's lifecycle.
Quality Control Managers:
- Use the test method to monitor ongoing production, ensuring consistent adherence to EN 12745:1999 testing protocols and performance thresholds.
Importers and Retailers:
- Specify compliance with EN 12745:1999 in procurement requirements to assure product safety and reliability for end consumers.
