Footwear - Test method for the assessment of ecological criteria

This European Standard defines certain test methods necessary to issue the footwear Ecolabel, For some criteria, this European Standard provides important clarification or gives a test method to assess the ecological criteria.

Schuhe - Prüfverfahren zur Beurteilung ökologischer Kriterien

Diese Europäische Norm wurde entwickelt, um bestimmte Prüfverfahren festzulegen, die für die Erteilung des Eco-Labels für Schuhe erforderlich sind. Viele der Kriterien sind im Kerntext festgelegt. Für einige Kriterien liefert diese Europäische Norm jedoch wichtige Erläuterungen oder gibt ein Prüfverfahren zur Beurteilung der ökologischen Kriterien an. ANMERKUNG Das Eco-Label für Schuhe wurde im ABl. EG vom 28. Juli 2009 veröffentlicht. Diese Europäische Norm gilt für jede Art von Schuhwerk, mit Ausnahme derer, die elektrische oder elektronische Bestandteile enthalten. Die chemische Analyse von Bestandteilen aus Metall fällt nicht in den Anwendungsbereich dieser Europäischen Norm.

Chaussure - Méthodes d'essai pour l'évaluation de critères écologiques

La présente Norme européenne a été conçue en vue de définir certaines méthodes d'essai requises pour
l'attribution du label écologique communautaire Ecolabel. Un grand nombre de critères est défini dans le
corps du texte, cependant, pour certains d'entre eux, la présente Norme européenne fournit des
éclaircissements importants ou indique une méthode d'essai permettant d'évaluer les critères écologiques.
NOTE Le label écologique communautaire Ecolabel destiné à être attribué aux articles chaussants a fait l'objet d'une
décision publiée dans le JOCE du 28 juillet 2009.
La présente Norme européenne s'applique à tous les articles chaussants, à l'exception de ceux munis de
composants électriques ou électroniques.
L'analyse chimique des composants métalliques ne relève pas du domaine d'application de la présente
Norme européenne.

PEC electricity used only by the process equipment used to manufacture the footwear 4 Test methods associated to the criteria NOTE The uncertainty of measurement for each test method described in this European Standard can be assessed according to the methods described ENV 13005 or ISO 5725-2. 4.1 Determination of total heavy metals content 4.1.1 General The total concentration of heavy metals in a product is considered as a relevant criterion regarding the end of life disposal. This test method identifies the main chemicals of potential hazard which may contaminate the environment after disposal or incineration. There shall be no Arsenic, Cadmium and Lead in the materials used for the product assembly or in the final product. Presence of heavy metals shall be established by either:  testing the materials individually; or  testing the upper and lower components of the shoe as composite groups of materials. NOTE The total concentration of other heavy metals (see Table 1) can be determined using this method. Table 1  Possible heavy metals determined Aluminium (Al)
