Overview

EN ISO 10764:2016 is an international standard developed by CEN and ISO that specifies test methods for assessing the lateral strength of slide fasteners used in footwear. This standard applies to all types of slide fasteners-commonly known as zippers-ensuring their durability and performance under lateral stress conditions. The standard provides detailed procedures for sample preparation, testing apparatus, and conducting tensile tests to measure the forces that cause failure in slide fasteners when subjected to sideways loads.

By adhering to EN ISO 10764:2016, footwear manufacturers and quality labs can objectively evaluate the robustness of slide fasteners, leading to improved product reliability and consumer safety. This standard plays a key role in maintaining high-quality fastening components in footwear design and production.

Key Topics

• Scope and Application: Applies to all slide fasteners used in footwear, measuring their resistance to lateral forces.
• Terminology: Defines critical components related to slide fasteners-such as slider, puller, teeth, tape/stringer, top stop, etc.-for consistent communication.
• Testing Apparatus:
  • Tensile testing machine with specific jaw separation rates and force accuracy.
  • Clamps with defined dimensions and surface features.
  • Optional locating jig to maintain alignment during testing.
• Sample Preparation:
  • At least three test positions per fastener with a minimum length of 50 mm on both sides.
  • Use of solvent-based adhesive for heavy-duty fasteners to enhance clamping grip.
• Test Procedure:
  • Conditioning specimens under standard atmosphere before testing.
  • Clamping samples with precise alignment per testing requirements.
  • Applying lateral force at a controlled rate until failure occurs.
  • Recording maximum forces and failure modes such as teeth separation, stringer tearing, or clamp slippage.
• Test Reporting:
  • Includes reference to EN ISO 10764:2016, sample description, test date, average maximum lateral force, failure types, and notes on deviations.

Applications

• Footwear Manufacturing: Assisting in the selection and quality control of slide fasteners to enhance product durability.
• Quality Assurance Laboratories: Standardized testing for evaluating resistance and mechanical integrity of fasteners for footwear.
• Research and Development: Developing new materials and fastening systems by benchmarking lateral strength performance.
• Compliance and Certification: Meeting industry regulations and customer requirements for footwear fastening reliability.

Utilizing EN ISO 10764:2016 supports manufacturers and testing bodies in producing footwear that meets rigorous mechanical standards for fastening components, reducing product failures and improving consumer satisfaction.

Related Standards

• ISO 18454 – Footwear standard atmospheres for conditioning and testing components, ensuring consistent environmental conditions.
• ISO 19952 – Footwear vocabulary standard that helps unify terminology in footwear product development and testing.
• ISO 7500-1 – Verification of testing machines for accurate force measurement, critical for reliable lateral strength tests.

By aligning EN ISO 10764:2016 testing with these referenced standards, consistency and reliability in slide fastener evaluation are maintained across global footwear industries.
