In accordance with BIS IS 17043:2018, ISI Mark certification is mandatory for Derby Shoes. This Indian Standard specifies the requirements, sampling procedures, and testing methods for derby shoes intended to provide consistent quality, durability, comfort, and reliable performance for professional and formal applications.
The standard establishes quality requirements covering upper leather, lining materials, sole construction, dimensions, workmanship, stitching, finishing, flexibility, adhesion, abrasion resistance, and overall product performance. These requirements ensure that derby shoes maintain structural integrity, appearance, and wearer comfort throughout their service life.
IS 17043 prescribes comprehensive testing for leather quality, sole adhesion, tensile strength, flex resistance, abrasion resistance, dimensional accuracy, and durability to verify compliance with specified performance criteria. The standard also emphasizes effective manufacturing controls and quality assurance procedures to ensure consistency in production.
It further includes provisions for marking, packing, and labelling, enabling product identification, traceability, and verification of compliance with BIS requirements.
Derby Shoes certified by the Bureau of Indian Standards under IS 17043:2018 assure consumers of high-quality craftsmanship, durability, comfort, and compliance with national standards, making them suitable for professional, institutional, and formal footwear applications.
