Overview

The oSIST prEN ISO 17704:2008 standard titled "Footwear - Test methods for uppers, linings and insocks - Abrasion resistance (ISO/DIS 17704:2008)" is a European draft developed by CEN/TC 309 in collaboration with ISO/TC 216. This standard supersedes the earlier EN 13520:2001 and defines a precise laboratory testing procedure to evaluate the abrasion resistance of footwear materials such as uppers, linings, and insocks. The test method applies to all material types used in these components and measures performance under both wet and dry conditions to assess durability and suitability for end-use.

This standardized abrasion resistance test method uses a Martindale abrasion machine where test specimens undergo controlled rubbing cycles with a standardized abradant fabric and abradant paper, replicating real-life wear conditions. The document is essential for manufacturers, testers, and quality assurance professionals to ensure the consistency, reliability, and performance of footwear materials.

Key Topics

• Abrasion resistance testing: Measures how well footwear components resist abrasive wear by simulating rubbing against abradant materials.
• Test specimens: Circular samples taken from uppers, linings, or insocks, carefully prepared and conditioned for testing.
• Martindale abrasion machine: Utilizes a Lissajous motion pattern to simulate multidirectional wear on specimen surfaces.
• Wet and dry conditions: Tests are conducted under both saturated (wet) and dry environments to reflect various usage scenarios.
• Test pressure and movement:
  • Constant pressure of approximately 12 kPa applied between specimen and abradant.
  • Specimen carrier rotates at 5 rad/s producing a complex rubbing motion.
• Standard abradants:
  • Fabric: Crossbred worsted spun, plain woven fabric meeting specific textile parameters ensuring uniform abrasive qualities.
  • Abradant paper: Recommended 36 grit for consistent abrasion.
• Sampling and conditioning:
  • Samples cut avoiding material edges, with careful selection to cover various patterns or fabric orientations.
  • Conditioning of specimens according to ISO 18454 to standardize test environment of temperature and humidity.
• Test report requirements: Detailed documentation of test conditions, specimen characteristics, and observed abrasion results.

Applications

The abrasion resistance test method of oSIST prEN ISO 17704:2008 is applicable across multiple areas in the footwear industry, including:

• Footwear material development: Assists R&D teams in identifying durable materials that meet quality standards.
• Manufacturing quality control: Provides manufacturers with a reliable method to test incoming materials and finished components for consistency.
• Compliance and certification: Supports compliance with industry regulations and facilitates certification by providing standardized test evidence.
• Product performance assessment: Enables evaluation of uppers, linings, and insocks performance under simulated real-world wear conditions.
• Comparative material studies: Offers objective data to compare abrasion resistance across different materials and treatments.
• Supplier evaluation: Assists brands and manufacturers in qualifying suppliers based on material durability metrics.

This test method ensures end-users receive high-quality and long-lasting footwear that maintains integrity despite frequent mechanical abrasion.

Related Standards

• ISO 18454: Specifies standard atmospheres for conditioning and testing footwear and components, crucial for preparing specimens before abrasion testing.
• EN 13520:2001: The earlier European standard on abrasion resistance that oSIST prEN ISO 17704:2008 aims to replace with improved methodology.
• ISO 17704:2004: The first edition of the International Standard on abrasion resistance for footwear uppers, linings, and insocks.
• ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2: The framework guiding the drafting and approval of ISO International Standards including voting and publication procedures.

By aligning with these international and European frameworks, oSIST prEN ISO 17704:2008 ensures harmonized test methods globally recognized in the footwear sector.

---

Adopting oSIST prEN ISO 17704:2008 facilitates accurate, repeatable testing of abrasion resistance essential for developing durable, high-performance footwear components, thereby enhancing product reliability and customer satisfaction.

ISO/DIS 17704
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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 17704 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 216, Footwear, Subcommittee SC , and by
Technical Committee CEN/TC 309, Footwear in collaboration.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (EN 13520:2001), which [has / have] been
