Protective boots or shoes that are predominantly made of leather are referred to as leather safety footwear. Rubber is used in the direct molding method to create the soles of these safety shoes. Direct-moulded rubber soles on leather safety footwear combine the superior traction, slip resistance, comfort, and protective qualities of rubber with the strength and longevity of leather. These shoes are necessary for a variety of job conditions, particularly those where it's important to guard against chemicals, wetness, and slip risks.
Because of safety rules, protection against workplace dangers, durability, comfort, personalization, and the general well-being and safety of workers in various industrial settings, there is still a high need for leather safety footwear with direct-moulded rubber soles. These safety shoes are essential for maintaining workers' productivity and safety in a variety of industries.
Under IS standard IS 11226:1993 all leather safety footwear with direct-molded rubber soles is covered by the obligatory ISI Certification Scheme.
The manufacturing, chemical, and physical requirements as well as the testing protocols for leather safety footwear with direct-molded rubber soles are described in this standard.
Without the ISI Mark, this product cannot be marketed, imported, or exported into the Indian consumer market.
Indian Standards Institute, or ISI was renamed the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) in 1987. The official mark that the Bureau of Indian Standards provides for manufacturers of various goods is the ISI Mark. It is used to indicate compliance with Indian standards (IS) set by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and has been used as a conformity marking for industrial products. Manufacturers received permission from BIS to use the ISI Mark on items that comply with relevant Indian requirements through the product certification program.
Only manufacturers (domestic or foreign) who produce the finished product will be awarded ISI Certification. This will not be given to any product importers, traders, dealers, or distributors.
