19、ter resistance resistance of a whole shoe to water ingress when worn by a test subject who walks a measured number of paces over a surface flooded with water to a specified depth 4 Apparatus and material The following apparatus and material shall be used. 4.1 Tester, so that the footwear fits the te
20、ster reasonably comfortably. 4.2 Horizontal watertight trough, having the following essential features (see also Figure 1). 4.2.1 Moveable platform near each end, high enough to enable the tester to step up and turn around above the water level. 4.2.2 Sufficient length to allow the tester to take 10
21、 normal paces in the water between the platforms. 4.2.3 Width of approximately 0,6 m. 4.2.4 A plug to enable to water to be drained away. NOTE It is obviously desirable for the trough to have a piped water supply so that it can readily be filled to the appropriate depth.Page 5 EN 13073:2001 BSI 03-2

The minimum number of samples and test pieces is: three samples, each of three sizes, largest smallest and middle size. 6 Test method 6.1 Principle A pair o
23、f footwear is worn whilst a measured number of paces is walked over a surface flooded with water to a measured depth. The extent of water entry is determined by inspection. 6.2 Procedure With the trough (see 4.2) empty of water, position the turning platforms (see 4.2.1) so that the tester takes 11
24、paces walking from one to the other with a normal length of stride (i.e. so that each foot is placed on the floor of the trough five times). Determine point A (see Figure 1 in prEN 13400:2001) in accordance with the method described in prEN 13400:2001 and mark the footwear 5 mm above the feather lin
25、e. Fill trough to a water level 5 mm above the feather line, or 25 mm total depth of water, whichever is the lower. NOTE The feather line is the line of a shoe where the upper meets the bottom, the part of the bottom involved being the welt, rand, or sole, depending on the method of shoe constructio
26、n.Page 6 EN 13073:2001 BSI 03-2001 Ensure that the footwear is thoroughly dry. Put on the dry footwear over normal hose using a legging or guard to cover the topline and stand on one of the platforms. Walk 100 trough lengths in the water using the platforms when turning. Take great care to make sure
27、 that no water is splashed over the topline of the footwear. To avoid this splashing, walk at a slower pace than normal, if necessary, but preferably not slower than one pace per second. After 100 trough lengths step out of the trough, remove the footwear carefully and examine the inside visually an
28、d by touch for signs of water penetration. If any penetration has occurred, record its position and extent on diagrams (as indicated in Figure 2) for each boot or shoe.

29、f diagram for a shoe, with an example of recorded penetration added If penetration has not occurred, repeat the series of 100 trough lengths until water penetration is detected. Then record its position and extent on diagrams (as indicated in Figure 2). If after 500 trough lengths no water penetrati
30、on appears, stop the test. Repeat the test with the other two pairs of footwear.Page 7 EN 13073:2001 BSI 03-2001 7 Expression of results The results of this test consist of two values: number of trough lengths; total area of water penetration, expressed in cm 2 . 8 Test report The test report shall
