SAFT USA module 3: testing

Monday 10th October 2016 to Tuesday 11th October 2016

This module starts with a discussion on ‘what is testing?’ and ‘why is testing important?’ Also examined are the use of specifications, the importance of accurate and detailed test reports and the use of standard test methods and the correct test result units.

The next part of the module is an overview of the key tests which are carried out on footwear and materials.

This includes:

• upper and lining materials, solings, footwear components and whole shoe tests
• a description of each test, including the equipment used, test piece preparation and the types of results which are produced
• comparisons of different methods for the same property, highlighting the advantages and disadvantages
• support for the methods under discussion, with examination of test pieces and, when training is on-site at SATRA’s premises, a tour of the laboratory.
