Press release from: SGS

/ PR Agency: Sugarloaf Marketing

On March 1, 2016, China implemented a new standard for all leather shoes and boots, with uppers made of genuine leather, man-made material or multiple materials. The new standard includes significant modifications to the technical requirements and includes new tests for:

• Odor
• Abrasion resistance of top piece
• Color fastness to rubbing of lining and insock
• Azo dyes
• Free or partly hydrolyzed formaldehyde
• Minimum length of steel shank
• Bending performance of steel shanks

Unlike the previous standard, QB/T 1002-2005, the new standard does not include provision for leather shoes and boots for infants and children.

With the new standard, QB/T 1002-2015, China has modified the technical requirements and conditions for labeling, appearance quality, peeling strength of upper-sole, pull-out strength of upper-sole, flexing resistance of completed shoes, abrasion resistance of outsole, heel attachment strength, heel hardness of unit sole and shanks.

Stakeholders are now advised to check the new standard in order to ensure compliance.
