Determining the water vapour permeability of leathers
The test quantifies the perspiration of the glove material by evaluating the quantity of water vapour transmission. GlovesPEEEN ISO 21420 §5.3.1Dexterity
The test allows to measure the aptitude to pick up objects. GlovesPEEEN ISO 21420 § 5.2Glove sizes and dimensions
The test permits to verify if the sizes of gloves are defined with respect to the sizes of the hands they are to fit. GlovesPEEEN ISO 21420 § 5.1Glove cleaning
Ensure that gloves retain their properties after the recommended number of washing cycles and under the conditions indicated. GlovesPEEEN ISO 21420 § 4.3Glove design and construction
This check ensures that the glove's design will not penalize the wearer in intended activities and foreseeable conditions of use. GlovesPEEEN ISO 21420 § 4.1Insert behavior
The metal insert should have no more than 3 corrosion points, none of which should be larger than 2 mm. FootwearMechanical risk / PEEEN ISO 20344 §5.11.2 / EN ISO 20345 §6.2.1.4.2Inserts bending strength
This method is used to assess the resistance of inserts to repeated bending. FootwearMechanical risk / PEEEN ISO 20344 §5.12 / EN ISO 20345 §6.2.1.4.1Contact heat resistance (HRO)
This test verifies the sole's resistance to contact heat, so as not to burn the foot. FootwearMechanical risk / PEEEN ISO 20344 §8.9 / EN ISO 20345 §6.4.1Hydrocarbon resistance (FO)
This test assesses the resistance of the sole material to the action of liquids by measuring material properties before and after immersion in a petroleum derivative. FootwearMechanical risk / PEEEN ISO 20344 §8.8 / EN ISO 20345 §6.4.2Insert perforation (P / PL / PS)
During use, footwear may be subjected to puncture stress. The aim of this test is to verify the extent of protection on the one hand, and the puncture resistance of the sole on the other.   FootwearMechanical risk / PEEEN ISO 20345 §6.2.1Bending resistance
This method is used to evaluate the repeated flex resistance of elastomer outsoles FootwearMechanical risk / PEEEN ISO 20344 §8.5 / EN ISO 20344 §8.6 / EN ISO 20345 §5.8.5Abrasion resistance
The outsoles and top-pieces are parts subjected to abrasion wear. This test is used to evaluate the durability of these components subjected to these stresses. FootwearMechanical risk / PEEEN ISO 20344 §8.4 / EN ISO 20345 §5.8.4Tear resistance
This test is used to check the intrinsic tear propagation resistance of the outsole material. FootwearMechanical risk / PEEEN ISO 20344 §8.3 / EN ISO 20345 §5.8.3Water absorption / desorption
This method is used to evaluate water absorption and desorption for insoles and insocks. This information is particularly important for hygienic comfort. Absorption quantifies the ability to “keep the foot dry”, while desorption checks whether water absorbed will be salted-out at a sufficient rate to avoid promoting the spread of bacteria. FootwearMechanical risk / PEEEN ISO 20344 §7.2 / EN ISO 20345 §5.7.3Abrasion resistance
During use, the inside of shoes is subjected to relative movements of the foot. This repeated friction can lead to wear, which this test helps to anticipate. FootwearMechanical risk / PEEEN ISO 20344 § 7.3 / EN ISO 20345 § 5.7.4.1
