Footwear - Test methods for outsoles - Flex resistance (ISO 17707:2005)

This European Standard specifies a method for determining the flex resistance of outsoles. This method is intended to assess the effect of sole materials and surface patterns on cut growth. This method is applied to outsoles that, in accordance with the test mentioned in clause 6, have a maximum longitudinal rigidity of 30 Nnewton.
NOTE     The method described in this standard is based on the method for the determination of the flex resistance for outsoles described in EN ISO 20344.

Schuhe - Prüfverfahren für Laufsohlen - Biegeverhalten (ISO 17707:2005)

Dieser Normentwurf legt ein Verfahren für die Bestimmung des Biegeverhaltens von Laufsohlen fest. Mit diesem Verfahren wird beabsichtigt, die Auswirkung von Sohlenwerkstoffen und Oberflächenmustern auf das Weiterreißen eines Schnittes zu bewerten. Das Verfahren gilt für Laufsohlen, die in Übereinstimmung mit den in Anhang A genannten Prüfungen eine maximale Längssteifigkeit von 30 N haben.

Chaussures - Méthodes d'essai applicables aux semelles d'usure - Résistance a la flexion (ISO 17707:2005)

Cette Norme européenne prescrit une méthode de détermination de la résistance a la flexion des semelles
d?usure. Cette méthode vise a évaluer l?influence des matériaux constitutifs de la semelle ainsi que celle du
relief de la surface sur l?agrandissement d?une entaille. Elle s?applique aux semelles d?usure qui,
conformément a l?essai mentionné dans l?Article 6 ont une rigidité longitudinale maximale de 30 N.
NOTE La méthode décrite dans cette norme européenne s?appuie sur la méthode pour la détermination de la
résistance a la flexion établie dans EN ISO 20344.
