What is ISO 17706 - Testing tensile strength and elongation of uppers about?
The popularity of long-lasting footwear is ever-growing.
ISO 17706 specifies a test method for determining the force required to break a test specimen from uppers irrespective of the material, in order to assess the suitability for end-use.
Who is ISO 17706 - Testing tensile strength and elongation of uppers for?
ISO 17706 on testing tensile strength and elongation of uppers is useful for:
- Footwear manufacturers
- Footwear manufacturers
- Footwear designers
- Research and development personnel
- Quality control personnel
Why should you use ISO 17706 - Testing tensile strength and elongation of uppers?
Footwears wane with the friction caused by walking. Stretchability and strength are important for uppers to last longer.
ISO 17706 provides you with a test method to assess the tensile strength and elongation of footwear uppers. This includes the elaboration of:
- Breaking strength
- Tensile elongation
- Complete upper assembly
- Thick leather
- Tensile testing machine
- Conditioning of specimens
The guidelines in ISO 17706 help you provide your customers with long-lasting footwear.
