Specialized footwear known as high ankle tactical boots is mainly made for outdoor lovers and law enforcement and military personnel. These boots are ideal for hard environments and rough terrain because of their unique characteristics. High ankle tactical boots' polyurethane and rubber soles strike a balance between toughness, comfort, and performance in demanding and dangerous circumstances. They are therefore ideal for those in tough jobs where having supportive and dependable footwear is crucial.
PU-rubber soled high ankle tactical boots are in demand due to a number of reasons, such as the requirements of law enforcement and military personnel, outdoor enthusiasts, and those looking for comfortable and long-lasting footwear. A mix of fashion-related and utilitarian reasons also drive demand.
Under IS standard IS 17012:2018, all high ankle tactical boots with PU-rubber soles are now required to be part of the ISI Certification Scheme.
This standard describes the design and functionality requirements for paramilitary and law enforcement personnel's high ankle tactical boots with PU-rubber soles. Tactical boots that are well-made and suited are necessary to maximize military troops' effectiveness. The specifications, testing protocols, and sample techniques for high ankle tactical boots with a rubber outsole and polyurethane (PU) midsole are outlined in this standard. These boots must be produced utilizing a direct molding technique, a vulcanized rubber outsole, and a PU midsole with strobel stitching.
Without the ISI Mark, this product cannot be marketed, imported, or exported into the Indian consumer market.
Indian Standards Institute, or ISI was renamed the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) in 1987. The official mark that the Bureau of Indian Standards provides for manufacturers of various goods is the ISI Mark. It is used to indicate compliance with Indian standards (IS) set by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and has been used as a conformity marking for industrial products. Manufacturers received permission from BIS to use the ISI Mark on items that comply with relevant Indian requirements through the product certification program.
Only manufacturers (domestic or foreign) who produce the finished product will be awarded ISI Certification. This will not be given to any product importers, traders, dealers, or distributors.
