Full title and description

St ISO 2025-1972 — Lined industrial rubber boots with general purpose oil resistance. This International Standard specifies requirements and test provisions for lined industrial rubber boots intended to resist general-purpose oils and hydrocarbons, including test piece preparation and measurement methods for change in volume after exposure.

Abstract

Specifies the characteristics and test methods for lined industrial rubber boots with general-purpose oil resistance. The standard includes sampling and conditioning of test pieces, the temperature and duration of immersion, the recommended immersion liquid and apparatus, the test procedure, and a formula to calculate the change in volume of test pieces after exposure.

General information

• Status: Withdrawn
• Publication date: August 1972
• Publisher: International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
• ICS / categories: 13.340.50 (Leg and foot protection)
• Edition / version: Edition 1 (1972)
• Number of pages: 2

Scope

Covers lined industrial rubber boots designed for general-purpose oil (hydrocarbon) resistance. The standard defines the types of test pieces, conditioning procedures, immersion media and temperatures, the apparatus and step-by-step test method, and the reporting/calculation method for volume change to determine oil resistance performance for the specified boot type.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition of lined industrial rubber boots intended for general-purpose oil resistance.
• Sampling and conditioning requirements for test specimens (size, number, preparation).
• Specified immersion liquids (hydrocarbon/oil), temperatures and exposure durations for testing.
• Apparatus and stepwise test procedure for immersion and measurement.
• Method and formula for calculating percentage change in volume after exposure.
• Acceptance criteria and reporting format for test results (as set out in the standard).

Typical use and users

Used by footwear manufacturers, quality and compliance engineers, materials and testing laboratories, procurement/specification writers for industrial protective equipment, and standards committees involved in personal protective equipment (PPE) and footwear testing.

Related standards

Related footwear and footwear-test standards from ISO/TC 94/SC 3 and others include later/adjacent ISO footwear specifications (for example ISO standards on lined industrial vulcanized-rubber boots and various rubber/plastics footwear specifications) and modern test-method standards such as ISO 20344 (test methods for footwear) and ISO 20345 (safety footwear requirements). National/adopted equivalents and amendments have existed (for example UNIT-ISO 2025:2000 as a national catalogue entry). Many ISO footwear documents in this area have themselves been reviewed or withdrawn as the footwear suite was updated over time.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 2025:1972 is an International Standard titled "Lined industrial rubber boots with general purpose oil resistance" that sets out test methods and requirements for lined rubber boots intended to resist common oils and hydrocarbons.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers sampling and conditioning of test pieces, immersion liquids, temperatures and durations, required apparatus and the test procedure, plus a formula for calculating change in volume to assess oil resistance of lined industrial rubber boots.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Footwear manufacturers, testing laboratories, PPE specifiers, procurement teams and conformity assessment bodies responsible for industrial rubber boots and related protective footwear use the standard or its guidance when assessing oil resistance properties.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: ISO 2025:1972 has been withdrawn. The ISO catalogue shows it as withdrawn; users should consult current ISO footwear and footwear test-method standards (for example ISO 20344 and ISO 20345 and any regional/adopted standards) for up-to-date requirements and test methods.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: It was issued under the footwear work of ISO/TC 94/SC 3 and sits historically among other ISO documents on rubber and industrial footwear; many of these documents have been revised or withdrawn as the footwear standards suite evolved.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Lined industrial rubber boots; oil resistance; hydrocarbon resistance; footwear testing; rubber footwear; ISO 2025.
