REQUIRED CHARACTERISTICS
FOOTWEAR: Upper height; heel; sole performance (production and resistance to the detachment of the upper/sole); feet protection and toecap characteristics (except EN ISO 20347), anti-slip properties.
UPPER: Upper materials characteristics, lining, tongue, insole/sock (resistance to tear and abrasion, traction characteristics, water vapor permeability, pH and absorption and desorption for the insole/sock and midsole).
SOLE: Production and resistance to tear, abrasion, flexion, hydrolysis, sole/midsole detachment, oil and hydrocarbons (EN ISO 20345 S1-S2-S3).
