NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Part 15) which is identical with ISO 19954 : 2003 ‘Footwear - Test methods for whole shoe - Washability in a domestic washing machine’ issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Footwear Sectional Committee and approval of the Chemical Division Council.

Under the general title ‘Method of test for footwear’, this standard is being published in several other parts. This part is an adoption of ISO 19954 : 2003 which specifies a test method for the evaluation of the behaviour of footwear when subjected to domestic washing. The evaluation is based upon the modification of some characteristics measured before and after washing.
