In accordance with BIS IS 15844:2010, ISI Mark certification is mandatory for Sports Footwear. This Indian Standard specifies the requirements, sampling procedures, and testing methods for sports footwear designed to provide comfort, durability, flexibility, and performance across various sporting activities.
The standard establishes quality requirements for upper materials, sole construction, cushioning, flexibility, dimensional accuracy, workmanship, adhesion, abrasion resistance, and overall product performance. These requirements ensure that sports footwear delivers adequate support, stability, shock absorption, and durability during regular athletic use.
IS 15844 includes extensive testing for sole bonding strength, flex resistance, slip resistance, tensile strength, tear resistance, abrasion resistance, and material quality to verify the product's capability to withstand repetitive movement and sporting conditions. It also emphasizes consistent manufacturing practices and quality assurance procedures to maintain uniform product performance.
The standard further specifies marking, packing, and labelling requirements to facilitate product identification, traceability, and verification of BIS compliance.
Sports Footwear certified under IS 15844:2010 by the Bureau of Indian Standards assures consumers of reliable quality, safety, durability, and performance, meeting nationally recognized standards for sports and recreational footwear.
