Section 3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in Iso 20345 and ISO 20347 apply.
Section 4 Sampling and conditioning
4.1 Sampling
The minimum number of samples to be tested in order to check compliance with the requirements specified in ISO 20345, ISO 20347 and any specific job-related footwear standards (e.g. ISO 17249, Safety footwear with resistance to chain saw cutting), together with the minimum number of test pieces taken from each sample, shall be in accordance with Table 1.
Wherever possible and necessary to ensure the essential safety requirements, test pieces shall be taken from the whole footwear. This paragraph is applicable to all of Table 1.
NOTE 1 If it is not possible to obtain a large enough test piece from the footwear, then a sample of the material from which the component has been manufactured may be used instead. This should be noted in the test report.
NOTE 2 Footwear sizes are defined in Annex C.
Where samples are required from each of three sizes, these shall comprise the smallest, middle and
largest size of the footwear under test [indicated as (SML) in Table 1].
4.2 Conditioning
All test pieces shall be conditioned in a standard atmosphere of (23 ± 2) °C and (50 ± 5) % RH for a minimum of 48 h before testing. unless otherwise stated in the test method.
The maximum time which shall elapse between removal from the conditioning atmosphere and the start of testing shall not be greater than 10 mm, unless otherwise stated in the test method.
4.3 Prerequisites on the testing procedure
When several test pieces are tested, at least the worst results per size shall to be reported. Footwear shall be tested as it is intended to be used, unless otherwise specified in the test method. For instance, if there is a removable insock, it shall be left in place to perform the tests.
The uncertainty of measurement for each test method described in this International Standard may be assessed. One of the two following approaches should be used:
— a statistical method, e.g. that given in ISO 572 5-2;
— a mathematical method, e.g. that given in ENV 13005.AS 2210.2 pdf download.
