FOREWORD
This Indian Standard was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by the Footwear
Sectional Committee had been approved by the Chemical Division Council.
Realizing the growing demand and use of sports footwear in the country and the potentiality of the development,
the footwear sectional committee decided to formulate a standard on the product. Different types of materials are
used as components for construction of sports footwear.
This standard applies to sport footwear where it is necessary to minimize fatigue and to impart useful life to the
footwear in different requirement of sports.
In the formulation of the standard due weightage has been given to International Standards and norms keeping in
mind the climatic conditions and customs in the country.
The composition of the Committee responsible for the formulation of this standard is given at Annex R.
For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final value,
observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with IS 2 : 1960
Rules for rounding off numerical values (revised). The number of significant places retained in the rounded off
value should be same as that of the specified value in this standard.

g) Zero and calibrate the tensile testing machine.
Set the crosshead speed to 50 mm/min.
h) Insert the dome centrally under the

j) Compress the dome until it collapses and a
maximum load reading is obtained. (This will
typically occur within 5 mm after the plunger
first contacts the dome.) Record the maximum
load to the nearest 0.1 kg. As the initial dry
collapsing load (L1).
k) Reverse the crosshead direction of the tensile
testing machine, and remove the dome once
the plunger is no longer in contact with it.
Push out any deformation of the dome.
m) Place the dome centrally under the plunger of
the repeated collapsing device. Manually
collapse the dome 8 times such that the dome
instantaneously contacts the base of the
repeated collapsing device. In between each
collapse, push out any deformation of the dome.
