Tareks Shoes Tests
At MassLab, we provide extensive shoe testing services to ensure that your footwear meets the highest quality, durability, and health standards. Shoes are an essential part of daily life, and they must offer robust protection, comfort, and safety. Our TAREKS-certified testing services verify that your shoe products comply with both national and international quality requirements.
Importance of Shoe Testing
Shoes are critical for protecting foot health and ensuring comfort during daily activities. It is imperative that the materials used in shoes—such as leather, fabrics, and other components—are durable, free from harmful chemical substances, and possess optimal physical properties. Our testing ensures that shoes:
- Do not contain harmful chemicals like chromium VI, lead, cadmium, phthalates, azo dyes, or formaldehyde.
- Are robust enough to withstand wear and tear over time.
- Provide reliable performance under various environmental conditions.
Scope of Shoe Testing
Chemical Content Tests
These tests analyze the materials used in shoes for potentially harmful chemicals such as heavy metals (chromium VI, lead, cadmium), phthalates, azo dyes, and formaldehyde. Chemical content tests ensure that the footwear is safe for direct contact with the skin.
Waterproof and Moisture Resistance Tests
Waterproof tests assess the shoe’s ability to resist moisture, while moisture resistance tests evaluate performance under humid conditions. These tests are especially important for outdoor and sports footwear, ensuring that the shoes remain effective under different weather conditions.
Abrasion and Durability Tests
These tests evaluate the wear resistance of the shoe’s sole, heel, and upper materials. They determine whether the shoes can withstand long-term use without significant degradation in performance or appearance.
Flexibility and Tear Resistance Tests
Flexibility and tear resistance tests measure the material’s ability to bend and resist tearing or breaking under stress. These tests are crucial for ensuring that the shoes provide reliable support and protection during daily activities.
Sole Slip Resistance Tests
These tests measure the coefficient of friction on the shoe sole to ensure that the footwear provides adequate grip on various surfaces. This is critical for preventing slips and falls in different environments.
Odor Tests
Odor tests evaluate whether the materials used in the shoes release any unpleasant smells, ensuring that the final product provides a comfortable wearing experience.
