DIN EN 15307
Adhesives for leather and footwear materials - Sole-upper bonds - Minimum strength requirements; German version EN 15307:2014

Overview
This European Standard defines for four main types of footwear minimum strength requirements for their sole-upper bonds produced with solvent-based or dispersion adhesives under specified conditions. The surfaces of the leathers or the footwear materials used are treated by a method specific to the type of material. Then strips of specified length and width are cut from the treated materials. The treated surfaces are bonded by an adhesive to test pieces of specified form. The test pieces are stored under specified conditions and their bond strength is determined under specified conditions. The responsible German committee is Working Committee NA 062-10-11 AA "Schuhe" ("Shoes") of the DIN Standards Committee Materials Testing (NMP).
