Sl.No. Synosis Points
1 This Standard specifies a method to determine the amounts of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in footwear and footwear components.
2 Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) are not specifically added during footwear manufacturing but may be present as unintentional contaminants in certain raw materials, particularly in rubber and plastic components. These substances can originate from the use of carbon black, extender oils, or recycled materials during the production of various footwear and polymer-based components. Some PAHs are classified as carcinogenic and pose health risks upon dermal exposure. Due to their potential impact on consumer safety, regulatory limits have been established for PAH content to ensure safety
