State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) together with the Standardization Administration Committee of the People’s Republic of China (SAC) released standard GB/T 25036-2021 “Children’s canvas rubber footwear”. The document will become effective from May 1, 2022.

The standard replaces the previous version GB/T 25036-2010. However, it serves more as guidelines.

The new version specifies classification of shoes, general requirements, test methods and inspection rules, marking, packaging, transportation, and storage requirements.
