Overview
oSIST prEN ISO 18896:2016 provides a standardized test method for determining the longitudinal stiffness of steel shanks used in footwear. The scope of this international draft standard encompasses shanks for the reinforcement of the waist region in women’s shoes, as well as some men’s and children’s shoes. By specifying how to assess the stiffness in the longitudinal direction, this document ensures that manufacturers and laboratories can consistently and accurately evaluate the mechanical properties of shoe shanks, supporting safety and product quality in the footwear industry.
Key Topics
- Longitudinal Stiffness Measurement: Defines the procedure for measuring the flexural rigidity of steel shanks in the longitudinal direction.
- Sampling and Conditioning: Outlines requirements for preparing shank specimens, including conditioning in controlled atmospheres as referenced by ISO 18454.
- Test Apparatus: Describes the essential equipment, including precision clamps, force application mechanisms, and devices for measuring vertical deflection with high accuracy.
- Test Methodology: Details step-by-step methods, such as specimen clamping, force application at specific points, and deflection measurement under varying loads.
- Expression and Reporting of Results: Specifies how to calculate and report flexural rigidity values, with requirements for documentation and traceability.
- Quality Assurance: Supports comparability of results between laboratories and facilitates compliance with product performance standards.
Applications
The methods described in oSIST prEN ISO 18896:2016 are crucial for stakeholders throughout the footwear supply chain:
- Footwear Manufacturers: Assure product safety and longevity by verifying that steel shanks meet required stiffness properties, minimizing the risk of breakage or premature wear during use.
- Quality Control Laboratories: Employ standardized testing protocols to validate batches, identify non-conforming components, and ensure adherence to international regulations.
- Product Development: Inform design decisions to optimize the balance between support, flexibility, and comfort in shoe construction, especially in women's, men’s, and children’s footwear where shank performance is critical.
- Regulatory Compliance: Demonstrate conformity with industry standards when supplying to regulated markets in Europe and internationally, supporting due diligence and traceability.
The robust, repeatable testing methodology also encourages innovation by providing footwear designers with quantifiable parameters to assess alternative materials or construction techniques for shanks.
Related Standards
For comprehensive footwear testing and product evaluation, the following standards are closely associated with the scope of oSIST prEN ISO 18896:2016:
- ISO 18454: Footwear - Standard atmospheres for conditioning and testing of footwear and components
- EN ISO 22568 Series: Covers additional test methods for components such as toecaps and other reinforcement elements
- ISO 20871: Footwear - Test methods for outsoles - Abrasion resistance
- ISO 9407: Footwear sizing - Mondopoint system of sizing and marking
By aligning with these and other relevant international standards, oSIST prEN ISO 18896:2016 plays a pivotal role in harmonizing footwear testing methods, supporting quality, safety, and compliance across global markets.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
