Laboratory analysis and testing

Physical and chemical tests ensure that your materials and finished products meet regulatory limits and deliver the expected performance.

This exclusive database allows you to find the main tests to be performed by CTC based on the product, technical criteria, and/or standards.

Determination of water vapour permeability and absorption (mg/cm².h)
This test is used to quantify the breathability of an upper material, by evaluating the quantity of water vapour that can potentially pass through it. FootwearComfortEN 13515 - ISO 17699 Water resistance test On Bally Penetrometer
This test is used to measure the water resistance of upper material. It evaluates both the water penetration time and the quantity potentially absorbed. FootwearComfortEN ISO 17702 Colour fastness to Rubbing (dry and wet)
This test is used to check whether repeated rubbing is able to cause deterioration of the material colour, on the one hand, and whether the colour can stain (transfer) onto the backing material. FootwearColor fastnessEN ISO 17700 End point resistance
The quality of the reinforcing rows makes a big contribution to the product’s useful life. They are what ensure the solidity of the stitching of the various seams. This test is used to assess these parameters. FootwearMechanical resistanceNF G 62.013 Flex resistance of the upper On Bally Flexometer
This test reproduces the stresses to which the materials are subjected during flexing movements on the upper when walking. It is used to check for the appearance of defects such as cracking, splitting, etc. FootwearMechanical resistanceEN ISO 17694 Resistance to tensile strength and elongation
This test assesses the force required to break a specimen taken from upper, whatever the material and elongation. FootwearMechanical resistanceEN ISO 17706 Resistance to tear strength of upper
The tear strength is an important factor for shoes, parameter. This method is used to evaluate the tear strength of the instep materials. FootwearMechanical resistanceEN ISO 17696
