Footwear - Test methods for stiffeners and toepuffs - Mechanical characteristics (ISO 20864:2004)

This draft International Standard specifies three methods for determining the shape retention properties and compression strength of a domed test specimen. These methods are the following and they are applicable to footwear toepuff and stiffener:
Method 1: Applicable to heat activated materials
   Method 2: Applicable to solvent activated materials
   Method 3: Applicable to non-thermoplastic fibreboard
NOTE   Although it is usual to determine both the shape retention properties and the compression strength of a domed test specimen, either may be determined alone by carrying out the procedures relating to the respective property.

Schuhe - Prüfverfahren für Hinterkappen und Vorderkappen - Mechanische Kenngrößen (ISO 20864:2004)

Dieses Dokument legt drei Verfahren zur Bestimmung der Eigenschaften des Formhaltevermögens und der
Druckfestigkeit eines gewölbten Prüfstücks fest. Diese Verfahren werden im Folgenden aufgeführt und gelten
für Hinter- und Vorderkappen von Schuhen:
Verfahren 1: Geeignet für heißaktivierte Werkstoffe
Verfahren 2: Geeignet für getauchte Werkstoffe
Verfahren 3: Geeignet für nichtthermoplastische Hartpappe.
ANMERKUNG Obwohl es üblich ist, sowohl die Eigenschaften des Formhaltevermögens als auch die Druckfestigkeit
eines gewölbten Prüfstücks zu bestimmen, dürfen sie auch gesondert mit den Verfahren für die entsprechende
Eigenschaft bestimmt werden.
