This standard specifies a method for evaluating solvent based and dispersion adhesives intended for use for sole attachment
It specifies minimum requirements for some strength properties of bonds made with these adhesives and establishes an adhesive classification based on the results obtained with reference test materials representing types of leather, rubber or plastic materials often used as upper or bottom materials in footwear manufacture.
