Standards Development
This document describes the most common terms about defects that occur in the manufacture, storage and usage of footwear and that can be determined during visual inspection of end product.
— Appearance inspection is important for manufacturers, suppliers, inspection organizations and costumers as one of the quality indicators of footwear products. This document is not only intended as a basis for assessing footwear appearance defects but also as a reference material and training material for the footwear industry.
— The presence of these defects in footwear does not automatically imply that the footwear is substandard. Suppliers and purchasers can still reach agreement on the acceptance of goods provided the limits of the defects and allowance have been made, bearing in mind the intended use of the footwear.
— Due to the development of material and technology in footwear industry, limited by the insufficient photos resources, it is impossible to describe all vocabularies for identification of defects during footwear visual inspection.
— At present, there are no specific international standards to list the vocabulary for identification of defects in footwear.
