Scope

GB/T 36975-2018 is the English-translated version of 鞋类通用技术要求.

China's national general requirements for footwear. It specifies the terms and definitions, the classification, the requirements, the test methods, the qualification judgement and the principles of inspection and marking. It is the umbrella standard beneath which the product standards for particular kinds of shoe sit, and its job is to state what is true of all footwear regardless of type. That divides into two kinds of requirement. The performance ones are what a wearer would complain about: whether the sole stays attached, whether the upper tears at the flex line, whether the heel holds, whether the colour transfers onto socks, whether the shoe survives being wet. The safety ones are what a wearer cannot check: the restricted substances - the azo dyes, the formaldehyde, the chromium, the phthalates and the sensitizing dyes that leather and synthetic uppers can carry - and the mechanical hazards of small parts and sharp points, which matter most in children's shoes.

1 Scope

China's national general requirements for footwear. It specifies the terms and definitions, the classification, the requirements, the test methods, the qualification judgement and the principles of inspection and marking. It is the umbrella standard beneath which the product standards for particular kinds of shoe sit, and its job is to state what is true of all footwear regardless of type. That divides into two kinds of requirement. The performance ones are what a wearer would complain about: whether the sole stays attached, whether the upper tears at the flex line, whether the heel holds, whether the colour transfers onto socks, whether the shoe survives being wet. The safety ones are what a wearer cannot check: the restricted substances - the azo dyes, the formaldehyde, the chromium, the phthalates and the sensitizing dyes that leather and synthetic uppers can carry - and the mechanical hazards of small parts and sharp points, which matter most in children's shoes.

This Standard specifies the terms and definitions, classification, requirements, test methods, principle of inspection, marking, package, transportation, and storage of footwear products. This Standard applies to footwear products for general wear. This Standard does not apply to safety, protective, professional, and competitive sports footwear.

5.1.1 The size of the last shall meet the requirements of

GB/T 3293. Footwear products expressly in conformity with

5 Requirements...

5.3 Physical and mechanical performance requirements

5.3.1 General Infants' shoes do not require physical and mechanical performances.

5.3.2 Upper sole peeling strength

5.3.2.1 Non-adhesive (such as sewing, seaming, etc.) shoes do not require the peeling strength of upper sole.

5.3.2.2 The upper sole peeling strength of slippers shall not be less than 25 N/cm. The upper sole peeling strength of other shoes shall not be less than 40 N/cm.

5.3.2.3 If the material is torn and the adhesive layer does not break, the peeling strength shall not be less than 30 N/cm.

5.3.3 Upper pull-off strength

5.3.3.1 Shoes which are not suitable for the testing of peeling strength (such as shoes with a thickness of more than 25 mm on the sole test position) are tested for upper pull-off strength instead.

5.3.3.2 Shoes with processes such as sewing, seaming, or riveting shall be tested for upper band pull-off strength. If the width of the upper band is larger than the clamp width (25 mm), and it is not suitable for cutting the sample, the

5.3.7 Color fastness to rubbing of linings and insocks The wet rubbing staining grade of suede material shall not be less than Grade 2. The wet rubbing staining grade of fur and artificial wool shall not be less than Grade 3. The wet rubbing staining grade of other materials shall not be less than Grade 2-3.

5.3.8 Heel bond strength An assembled heel with a heel height greater than 30 mm shall be tested for the heel bond strength. It shall not be less than 700 N.

5.3.9.1 Women's shoes and children's shoes with a heel height greater than

20.0 mm and a heel mouth greater than

8.0 mm, and men's shoes with a heel height greater than

25.0 mm and a heel mouth greater than

10.0 mm shall be fitted with shanks and other rigid support materials.

5.3.9.2 The length lower limit, longitudinal rigidity, hardness, and bending performance of shanks shall meet the requirements of GB/T 28011.

5.3.9.3 Shoes with an injection molding insole are not tested for shanks. The longitudinal rigidity of the insole shall meet the requirements of QB/T 4862.

5.3.10 Uppers material low-temperature flexing resistance The uppers material low-temperature flexing resistance of the shoes worn in low temperature environment (such as winter shoes, etc.) shall meet the requirements of QB/T 2224.

5.3.11 Sole flexing resistance at low-temperature The sole flexing resistance at low-temperature of the shoes worn in low temperature environment (such as winter shoes, etc.) shall meet the requirements of QB/T 4886.

6.12.1 Different materials shall be tested separately. If the upper and the lining cannot be separated, they shall be tested together; and the test method shall be the same as that for the lining.

6.12.2 Textiles shall be tested according to
