4 Preparation of samples
4.1 General
This standard describes different test methods either on footwear material or on the complete footwear or on the
manufacturing of footwear. The different tests to perform are described in table 1.
The complete item of footwear is the sample. Several samples will be needed according to Table 1. No analysis is
requested for empty box (packaging).

4.3 Preparation for tests on whole footwear
Weigh the footwear, M , and then remove all the metallic pieces from the footwear.
1
Weigh the metallic parts, M , and determine the mass of the non metallic parts of the footwear, M , by the formula:
m 0
M =M −M (1)
0 1 m
Dismantle the footwear; separate the hard material, which is that with hardness shore D according to EN ISO 868
greater than 50° (e.g. PVC, rubber, leather sole), from the soft material (e.g. textile, leather). Weigh the hard material,
M and the soft material, M :
h s
M ≈M +M
0 h s
Determine the percentage of hard (H%) and soft (S%) material by the formulas:
M
h
(2)
H % =
M +M
h s

(3)
S% =

Hard and soft material will be ground separately.
4.3.1 Grinding
4.3.1.1 Soft material grinding
Separate leather and textile pieces for the specific analyses mentioned in clause 5. In cases where the footwear is
made up of several types of leather or textile, then all leather will be jointly tested, and all textile will also be jointly
tested.
Cut the soft material into pieces of side length between 30 mm and 50 mm, using the appropriate means (e.g. an
electric saw).
Grind the pieces using the appropriate means (e.g. a leather grinder as described in EN ISO 4044) until the
material passes through a sieve of 4 mm diameter mesh. The sample must be ground in small batches to allow
rapid grinding and to avoid increasing the temperature of the sample excessively.
4.3.1.2 Hard material grinding
4.3.1.2.1 Common hard soling material (e.g. leather, PVC)
Cut the hard material into pieces of side length between 20 mm and 40 mm, using the appropriate means (e.g. an
electric saw).
Grind the pieces using the appropriate means (e.g. a leather grinder as described in EN ISO 4044). If necessary,
after each grinding operation, the mill should be left to cool down. The sample must be ground in small batches to
allow rapid grinding and to avoid increasing the temperature of the sample excessively:
- carry out an initial short (5 min ± 1 min) grinding without use of any size restricting device, i.e. mesh. Several
successive grindings can be carried out to complete the grinding of the whole sample;
- carry out a second grinding also for a short (5 min ± 1 min) time to reduce the material to a size which will pass
through a sieve of 4 mm diameter mesh. Several successive grindings can be carried out to complete the
grinding of the whole sample.

4.3.1.2.2 Difficult hard soling material (e.g. rubber)
Cut the soling material into pieces of side length between 1 cm and 3 cm, using the appropriate means (e.g.
electric saw). This procedure is also applicable for heels in a very hard material (for which the size of the cut piece
can be smaller).
For soling material containing rubber, cool the samples in a freezer at (-20 ± 5) °C for 16 h or more.
NOTE 1 Liquid nitrogen could be used to cool difficult samples (for example, rubber).
