Standard for Export Testing and Certification of Shoes and Leather Products
EU market
REACH regulation: The EU REACH regulation strictly controls highly concerned substances (SVHC) in shoes and leather products. Currently, the list includes over 200 chemical substances, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and azo dyes. Shoes and leather products exported to the European Union must be accurately detected using equipment such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Once the SVHC content in the product exceeds the prescribed limit, the obligation to notify must be fulfilled.
Physical performance and safety standards: According to EN ISO 20344:2017 "Personal protective equipment footwear", the physical properties such as impact resistance and puncture resistance of safety shoes are tested. Simulate heavy object impact using an impact testing machine to test the impact resistance of safety shoes; Test the ability of footwear to resist sharp object punctures through a puncture testing machine. In addition, for ordinary footwear, according to EN 13515:2011 "Test methods for wear resistance of shoe uppers, linings, and insoles", their wear resistance is evaluated using a wear testing machine.
US market
CPSC regulatory requirements: The US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) strictly regulates the safety of imported shoes and leather products, especially for children's shoes, with extremely strict limits on the content of harmful substances such as lead and phthalates. Atomic absorption spectroscopy is required to detect the lead content in children's shoes to ensure compliance with the standards set by CPSC and prevent children from being threatened by exposure to lead containing products.
ASTM standard: ASTM F2412-18 "Standard Test Methods for Testing Footwear and Personal Protective Footwear" developed by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) covers various physical performance tests of footwear, including bending performance, slip resistance, etc. In addition, ASTM D3884-17 "Standard Test Method for Determination of Acetone, Methyl Acetate, and Tetrahydrofuran Content in Adhesives Used in Footwear and Footwear Components by Gas Chromatography" specifies the detection method for the composition of shoe adhesives.
Other international markets
Japanese market: Japan implements strict quality and safety controls on shoes and leather products, following the Japanese Consumer Product Safety Law. In terms of chemical substance detection, the use of harmful substances such as formaldehyde and azo dyes is strictly restricted. In terms of physical performance, there are detailed requirements for the comfort and durability of footwear to ensure that the product meets the needs of Japanese consumers.
International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards: ISO 22788: The 2019 "Determination of Tensile Strength and Elongation in Leather Physical and Mechanical Testing" stipulates the use of universal material testing machines to test the tensile strength and elongation of leather; ISO 17226-1: The 2017 "Chemical tests for leather and fur - Determination of formaldehyde content - Part 1: High performance liquid chromatography method" is used to detect formaldehyde content in leather and fur products. Many countries and regions consider ISO standards as an important reference for product quality.
