Overview

EN ISO 18403:2016 / ISO 18403:2016 specifies a laboratory test method to determine the maximum lateral force a footwear slide fastener (zipper) can withstand during closure without damage. Applicable to all types of slide fastener, the method simulates a slider closing while a sideways load is applied to the stringers to evaluate resistance to damage during closure.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Scope & principle
  • Measures the maximum lateral (sideways) force under which a slide fastener will close without failure.
  • The slider is moved while incrementally increasing lateral forces until failure, if any, occurs.
• Apparatus essentials
  • Two end clamps with parallel clamping edges, separation D = 160–335 mm, and ability to apply (30 ± 5) N longitudinal tension.
  • Five pairs of movable side clamps with square edges (25 ± 1 mm wide) arranged perpendicular to end clamps; lateral spacing between clamp pairs ≈ 35 ± 1 mm.
  • Moveable clamp to grip the puller and means to move it at (100 ± 25) mm/min.
  • Means to apply lateral tensile forces of 20 ± 2 N, 30 ± 3 N, 40 ± 4 N, 50 ± 5 N, 60 ± 5 N to side clamps.
• Specimens and conditioning
  • Minimum of three tests at each lateral force level (or until failure).
  • Conditioning: 24 h in standard atmosphere per ISO 18454 before testing.
  • Number of fasteners required depends on fastener length (e.g., 125–219 mm → 15 fasteners; 400+ mm → 3 fasteners).
• Test procedure highlights
  • Mark multiple test positions along the fastener at ~60 mm intervals.
  • Apply lateral forces at each position, close the slider through the loaded zone (~60 mm travel), and record whether closure occurs without damage.
  • Identify failure modes: separated locked teeth, teeth pulled off stringer, stringer material failure.
• Reporting
  • Test report shall include reference to ISO 18403, sample description, date, maximum lateral force with no failure, force at failure and failure type, and any deviations.

Applications and users

• Intended for: footwear manufacturers, component suppliers, zipper (slide fastener) manufacturers, independent test laboratories, R&D teams, and quality assurance departments.
• Practical uses:
  • Verify slide fastener durability and safety in shoes and boots.
  • Compare materials, slider designs, and zipper constructions under lateral loads.
  • Support product development, supplier qualification, and conformity documentation.

Related standards

• ISO 18454 - standard atmospheres for conditioning/testing footwear components (referenced for specimen conditioning).
• ISO 19952 - footwear vocabulary and terms used in this standard.
