What is ISO 17706 - Testing tensile strength and elongation of uppers about?  
The popularity of long-lasting footwear is ever-growing.
ISO 17706 specifies a test method for determining the force required to break a test specimen from uppers irrespective of the material, in order to assess the suitability for end-use. 
Who is ISO 17706 - Testing tensile strength and elongation of uppers for?  
ISO 17706 on testing tensile strength and elongation of uppers is useful for:  
- Footwear manufacturers  
- Footwear manufacturers   
- Footwear designers    
- Research and development personnel    
- Quality control personnel  
Why should you use ISO 17706 - Testing tensile strength and elongation of uppers?  
Footwears wane with the friction caused by walking. Stretchability and strength are important for uppers to last longer. 
ISO 17706 provides you with a test method to assess the tensile strength and elongation of footwear uppers. This includes the elaboration of: 
- Breaking strength 
- Tensile elongation 
- Complete upper assembly 
- Thick leather 
- Tensile testing machine 
- Conditioning of specimens 
The guidelines in ISO 17706 help you provide your customers with long-lasting footwear.
