Canvas Boots Rubber Sole

Canvas boots with rubber soles must meet specific performance requirements as outlined in IS 3736:1995. These requirements include:

• Adhesion: During use, the rubber sole should not delaminate from the canvas upper, and therefore has to be well attached to the other.
• Flexibility: The boot should be flexible so that the feet can make movements in different directions without having to support them.
• Water Resistance: Total exclusion of water is sometimes impossible, but the materials chosen must be resistant to some degree of water penetration.
• Durability: The boot needs to be usable, functional, and look good even after many outings or a long time of use.

To ensure compliance with these performance requirements, several testing methods are employed:

• Adhesion Test: This test measures the adhesion between the rubber outsole and the canvas upper by applying a force until the two materials separate.
• Flexibility Test: This checks its performance on how it angles itself when under bending, which emulates normal walking or running posture.
• Water Penetration Test: This defines how well the material cuts off water by taking samples through water immersion for a set time.
• Durability Test: This involves subjecting the boots to wear environments that are artificial with a view of establishing their useful life.

Testing labs for plastic shoes need to follow certain rules:

Equipment:They must have the right tools that are checked and can do all the tests needed as per IS 3735:1996.

Qualified Staff: The people working there should have the right skills and training to do the tests correctly.

These rules are important to make sure the testing process is good and the results are reliable.

Accurate labeling is crucial for meeting BIS standards. Every pair of Footwear for General Purpose needs to be clearly marked with important details that help consumers understand the product's features and confirm its compliance.

What Should Be on the Labels

Each article of footwear for municipal scavenging work must be marked with the following information:

Manufacturer's Name or Logo: This shows who made the footwear.

Size Number: This explains the dimensions of the sole.

Batch Number: This serves to monitor the quality production batch.

Month and Year of Production: This is a testament to the time when the product was produced.

ISI Mark: This verifies that the product falls within the specifications of BIS.

Also, the packaging must follow BIS rules to ensure safe handling and storage during shipping.

The following are the required documents for BIS certification:

BIS certification is crucial for several reasons:

• Market Access: It shall be marked with the ISI mark, which is compulsory for any manufacturer who wants their Canvas Boots Rubber Sole to be sold in India. Without this certification, manufacturers will not be able to sell their products in the market.
• Consumer Safety: Certification ensures that the products conform to specific standards, preventing the consumer from using dangerous products.
• Quality Assurance: The BIS certification process helps ensure quality standards by covering quality control aspects of the products.
• Regulatory Compliance: The BIS certification acts as an asset to manufacturers by providing them with legally accepted standards, thus saving them from legal troubles.
• Brand Credibility: An ISI mark adds value to the business by giving consumers confidence that they are dealing with products that meet the nation’s quality standards.
• Environmental Considerations: BIS regulations include specific measures to restrict the use of harmful chemicals when producing products, addressing environmental concerns in the industry.
