Once styles got adopted/selected, then all the materials used in the
shoe needs to be approved and maintained in the stores in the
form of Swatch card with material description, supplier name and
other technical details if any.
Once, prototype approved for all the style lines and proportions,
then we will go to the next stage, i.e., salesman samples.
All the selected styles should have style assessment to analyze the
production feasibility, methods of doing, listing the potential risk
factors in wear and tear, etc.,
Before we start the bulk cutting, all the test certificates for leather,
lining, other materials, etc., should be obtained from CLRI (or)
FDDI (or) TUV SUD (or) SGS as listed in the physical testing
section.
Before we start closing in the upper units, all the show board,
working examples, signed upper from Product development team
should be available.
Before we start full shoe production, we need to do the sole bond
test, heel pull load test, toplift pull load test and topline strength
(for pump shoes) etc., depending on the styles.
Production starts.

Assess for any intentional release, if no, assess for presence of SVHC, if yes, estimate
the quantity of the substance and notify.
If it can be technically proved that SVHC not present, self certificate should suffice
Only when there is no surety fo the presence or absence of SVHC, testing should be
undertaken.
b) Physical Testing
Factory should carry out physical testing with approved testing labs
(CLRI, FDDI, TUV SUD & SGS).
Tests to be carried out with frequency of Testing are listed below.
Children's Footwear.
Transfer coated PUCF's generally have limited resistance to scuffing and are not
recommended for children's everyday shoes, coagulated materials should be used.

Note:
The thickness is measured from the sole bottom to the top of the lightener bars in
the central region of the sole.
2) For thin units (up to 4mm thick) it is permissible to use a slightly harder
compound up to 80 IRHD (77 Shore A) to help minimise edge distortion. The
flexing test is carried out on whole foreparts and a maximum cut growth of 30mm
after 20 k/cs should be satisfactory.
