This European Standard applies to footwear moulding machines which are intended for use in the shoe industry for the production of footwear and footwear components. These machines are:
- direct-on sole moulding machines (see Figures 1, 2 and 3);
- unit sole and footwear component moulding machines (see Figures 4 to 10);
- full shoe and boot moulding machines (see Figure 11). This European Standard applies also to the mentioned machines when used for other products than footwear and footwear components, as far as these products require no other changes than a different mould.
