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 document 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).
ISO draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). ISO takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent
rights in respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, ISO had not received notice of (a)
patent(s) which may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that
this may not represent the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at
www.iso.org/patents. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation of the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and expressions
related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the World Trade
Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see www.iso.org/iso/foreword.html.
This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 216, Footwear, in collaboration with the
European Committee for Standardization (CEN) Technical Committee CEN/TC 309, Footwear, in accordance
with the Agreement on technical cooperation between ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement).
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 19952:2005), which has been technically
revised.
The main changes are as follows:
— additional terms were added, such as antimicrobial footwear, bottom wall, boxing footwear, bridge,
components in contact with the skin, critical substances, drawn-up toe, extended sole spike heel, stiletto
heel, etc.;
— synonyms were combined, such as box toe and toe puff, runner and through sole, built heel and stack
heel etc.;
— some definitions were reviewed, such as bottom assembly, children’s footwear, etc.;
— terms were updated based on industry developments, for example double sole was changed to
multilayer sole;
— some unnecessary terms were deleted, such as school footwear/children’s school footwear.
Any feedback or questions on this document should be directed to the user’s national standards body. A
complete listing of these bodies can be found at www.iso.org/members.html.

coated fabric
textile covered with a polymer or plastic coating such as polyurethane, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or rubber
3.1.8
coated leather
coated split leather
leather (3.1.20) and split leather where the surface coating, applied to the outer side, does not
exceed one third of the total thickness of the product but is in excess of 0,15 mm

changed to two preferred terms “coated leather” and “coated split leather”.]
3.1.9
coating
layer formed on the surface (3.6.22) of a substrate with a single or multiple application of material

Avant-propos
L’ISO (Organisation internationale de normalisation) est une fédération mondiale d’organismes nationaux
de normalisation (comités membres de l’ISO). L’élaboration des Normes internationales est en général
confiée aux comités techniques de l’ISO. Chaque comité membre intéressé par une étude a le droit de faire
partie du comité technique créé à cet effet. Les organisations internationales, gouvernementales et non
gouvernementales, en liaison avec l’ISO participent également aux travaux. L’ISO collabore étroitement avec
la Commission électrotechnique internationale (IEC) en ce qui concerne la normalisation électrotechnique.
Les procédures utilisées pour élaborer le présent document et celles destinées à sa mise à jour sont
décrites dans les Directives ISO/IEC, Partie 1. Il convient, en particulier, de prendre note des différents
critères d’approbation requis pour les différents types de documents ISO. Le présent document
a été rédigé conformément aux règles de rédaction données dans les Directives ISO/IEC, Partie 2
(voir www.iso.org/directives).
L’ISO attire l’attention sur le fait que la mise en application du présent document peut entraîner l’utilisation
d’un ou de plusieurs brevets. L’ISO ne prend pas position quant à la preuve, à la validité et à l’applicabilité de tout
droit de propriété revendiqué à cet égard. À la date de publication du présent document, l’ISO n’avait pas reçu
notification qu’un ou plusieurs brevets pouvaient être nécessaires à sa mise en application. Toutefois, il y a lieu
d’avertir les responsables de la mise en application du présent document que des informations plus récentes
sont susceptibles de figurer dans la base de données de brevets, disponible à l’adresse www.iso.org/brevets.
L’ISO ne saurait être tenue pour responsable de ne pas avoir identifié de tels droits de brevet.
Les appellations commerciales éventuellement mentionnées dans le présent document sont données pour
information, par souci de commodité, à l’intention des utilisateurs et ne sauraient constituer un engagement.
Pour une explication de la nature volontaire des normes, la signification des termes et expressions
spécifiques de l’ISO liés à l’évaluation de la conformité, ou pour toute information au sujet de l’adhésion de
l’ISO aux principes de l’Organisation mondiale du commerce (OMC) concernant les obstacles techniques au
commerce (OTC), voir www.iso.org/avant-propos.
Le présent document a été élaboré par le comité technique ISO/TC 216, Chaussure, en collaboration avec
le comité technique CEN/TC 309, Chaussure, du Comité européen de normalisation (CEN), conformément à
l’Accord de coopération technique entre l’ISO et le CEN (Accord de Vienne).
Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition (ISO 19952:2005), qui a fait l’objet d’une
révision technique.
Les principales modifications sont les suivantes:
— ajout de termes supplémentaires, tels que chaussures antimicrobiennes, lisse, chaussure de boxe,
embauchoir, composant en contact avec la peau, substances critiques, lèvre avant de semelle, semelle
débordante, talon aiguille, talon stiletto, etc.;
— regroupement de synonymes, tels que box toe et bout-dur, semelle intercalaire et semelle intermédiaire,
talon bottier, etc.;
— révision de certaines définitions, telles que semelage, chaussure d’enfant, etc.;
— mise à jour de termes en fonction de l’évolution de l’industrie, par exemple remplacement de
«double semelle» par «semelle technologie multicouche», etc.;
— suppression de certains termes inutiles, tels que chaussure scolaire/chaussure scolaire pour enfant.
Il convient que l’utilisateur adresse tout retour d’information ou toute question concernant le présent
document à l’organisme national de normalisation de son pays. Une liste exhaustive desdits organismes se
trouve à l’adresse www.iso.org/fr/members.html.
