4 DUS :2016 Foreword Uganda National Bureau of Standards (UNBS) is a parastatal under the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Cooperatives established under Cap 27, of the Laws of Uganda, as amended. UNBS is mandated to coordinate the elaboration of standards and is (a) a member of International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) and (b) a contact point for the WHO/FAO Codex Alimentarius Commission on Food Standards, and (c) the National Enquiry Point on TBT Agreement of the World Trade Organisation (WTO). The work of preparing Uganda Standards is carried out through Technical Committees. A Technical Committee is established to deliberate on standards in a given field or area and consists of representatives of consumers, traders, academicians, manufacturers, government and other stakeholders. Draft Uganda Standards adopted by the Technical Committee are widely circulated to stakeholders and the general public for comments. The committee reviews the comments before recommending the draft standards for approval and declaration as Uganda Standards by the National Standards Council. iv UNBS 2016 All rights reserved

5 DUS :2016 Introduction This draft Uganda Standard intends to give specifications for children s shoes (2 years and below). It will assist footwear manufacturers and merchants in getting value for their products. In addition it will give the general consumers of the product bases to choose the products from an informed state. The main purpose of this working draft standard therefore is to provide a basis for evaluating the quality of children s shoes (2 years and below) UNBS 2016 All rights reserved v

19 ANNEX A (normative) SAMPLING AND CRITERIA FOR CONFORMITY A.1 DEFINITIONS A.1.1 Lot All footwear pairs in a consignment belonging to the same pattern/design and batch of manufactured shoes delivered or imported. A.1.2 Defect A fault or failure of a footwear pair to meet the requirements of this standard. A.1. Defective Footwear A footwear pair with one or more defects as mentioned in this standard. A.2 SCALE OF SAMPLING A.2.1 Samples shall be selected and examined for each lot separately for ascertaining the conformity of the footwear to the requirements of this standard. A.2.2 Footwear shall be considered to be of different lots if they differ in shape and design. A.2. The number of footwear pairs to be selected from any lot shall depend on the size of the lot and shall be in accordance with Columns 1 and 2 of Table A1. A. METHOD OF SELECTION A..1 Footwear to be selected from the lot shall be chosen at random. To ensure randomness the procedure in A.2 shall be used. A..2 When the footwear pairs in a lot are not packed in a number of cases (boxes), the sampling shall be as follows: a) Starting from any footwear pair in the lot, count the pairs as 1, 2, etc---up to r and so on in one order. Every rth pair thus counted shall be withdrawn to constitute a sample (r is the integral part of N/n where N is the lot size and n is the sample size). This procedure shall be stopped as soon as the required number of pairs is obtained. b) For example if a sample of 125 pairs is to be selected from a lot of,000 pairs, compute r as equal to integral part of,000/125=2. Starting from any pair, the footwear shall be counted in one order and every 2th pair shall be withdrawn. A.. When the footwear pairs in a lot are packed in different cases (boxes), a suitable number of boxes (not less than 0 per cent of the total boxes in the lot) shall be first chosen at random. For each of the boxes so chosen, an approximately equal number of pairs shall be picked up from its different parts so as to obtain the required number of pairs. For example, if a lot consists of 1,000 pairs of footwear packed in 50 boxes each containing 20 pairs, choose more than 15 boxes at random. If it is decided to open 20 boxes, then pairs shall be picked up from different parts of each of the 20 boxes to give a total of 80 pairs as specified in Table 1. UNBS 2016 All rights reserved xiii

OF DEFECTIVES (PAIRS) SAMPLE SIZE FOR LABORATORY TESTING (PAIRS) PERMISSIBLE NO. OF DEFECTIVES (PAIRS) (1) (2) () () (5) Up to to to to to to and above A. All randomly selected footwear pairs (Table A1, Column 2) shall be inspected for visually observed defects, i.e. a) Difference in shape, design and colour. b) Odd pairing and incorrect size. c) Distorted shapes. d) Faulty jointing and adhesion of sole, heel, toe guard, toe cap and insole. e) Insole cut short. f) Broken stitches and incorrect stitching. g) Missing or defective eyelets/speed hooks or eyeleting/hooking. h) Variations in positioning of eyelets/speed hooks. i) Stiffener not centrally placed. j) Unfit lace. k) Finish not even and unpolished. l) Missing or defective buckles/buckling assembly. xiv UNBS 2016 All rights reserved

21 A.5 The number of defective footwear pairs shall not exceed the permissible number given in Table A1, Column. If however, the number of defective pairs exceeds the permissible number of defectives, the lot shall be rejected. A.6 In case the lot has been found satisfactory for visually observed defects, sample pairs for laboratory testing (Table A1, Column ) shall be taken from among those drawn (Table 1A, Column 2). The pairs shall be chosen at random and tested for dimensional, physical and chemical characteristics. If the number of defective footwear is less than or equal to the corresponding permissible number of defectives given in Table A1, Column 5, the lot shall be declared to have met the requirements of this standard. Otherwise if the defective footwear pairs are more than the corresponding permissible numbers of defectives the lot shall be rejected. UNBS 2016 All rights reserved xv
