In today's competitive landscape, maintaining market presence without a certified, high-quality product can be challenging. Obtaining a BIS license may also be essential for selling products in the Indian market. To achieve BIS certification and ensure product quality, manufacturers must adhere to the specified Indian standards.

Lets delve deeper into IS 5676:1995 for moulded rubber soles and heels.

IS 5676:1995 encompasses molded solid rubber soles and heels, detailing the necessary requirements and procedures for sampling and testing. This standard applies to both rubber full soles, with or without heels, and finished heel products.

Molded solid rubber soles and heels are employed in crafting boots or shoes designed for heavy-duty tasks, typically paired with leather or rubber uppers. These soles are categorized according to their intended application with different types of footwear.

Molded solid rubber soles and heels are available in two distinct types:

Type 1 - For use with leather shoes
Type 2 - For use with rubber or rubber combination shoes

Molded solid rubber soles and heels must adhere to the design, materials, manufacturing, finishing, and performance criteria outlined in IS 5676:1995.

The solid rubber soles should undergo molding or vulcanization processes. The completed rubber should exhibit uniformity, devoid of cracks, pores, and excessive surface marks resulting from unclean molds or sulfur formations. Surface imperfections and flaws must be absent. Any cured spew and molding flashes should be trimmed neatly. Additionally, the rubber soles and heels must possess anti-slip properties and meet the physical standards specified in the standard. The dimensions, thickness, and channel specifications should be mutually agreed upon between the buyer and the seller.

TESTS

The subsequent test must be conducted for moulded solid rubber soles and heels shall be carried out.

Additionally, the product can bear the ISI standard mark (ISI Mark), and packaging and labeling must comply with the relevant standards.
