A procedure designed to reproduce the effect of occasional heavy impacts (such as stumbling or falling).

This Section of BS 5131 describes a method of test designed to reproduce the effect of the occasional heavy impacts that may occur in wear owing to stumbling or falling. The test is applicable to rigid through bottom units (often called clog units and through platform units) made from rigid plastics, rigid polyurethane, or wood, and to complete shoe bottoms containing these units, i.e. with the insole and outsole left on. It is also suitable for testing complete bottoms containing cork units, but not for testing these cork units on their own. It is not applicable to more flexible units because they bend too much on impact.
