1. Scope

1.1 This Indian Standard provides a list of critical chemical substances potentially present in footwear and footwear components.

1.2 This Indian Standard describes the critical chemical substances, their potential risks, the materials in which they can be found and the test method(s) which can beused to quantify them.

1.3 The chemicals are divided into two tables:

a) Table 1 lists chemicals for which levels of acceptance are specified; and

b) Table 2 lists chemicals for information purpose and some of them do not include a test method as no test method is available at the time of publication.

2. References
