Introduction

Standard Framework and Technology Evolution

GA 2108-2023, as an important part of the police equipment standardization system, specifically refines the technical requirements for dress shoes for men based on GA 309-2021. For the first time, the standard includes limited substance testing in mandatory clauses, reflecting the Ministry of Public Security's upgraded requirements for the safety of police equipment.

Analysis of core technical requirements

Technical dimensions	GA 2108-2023	Civilian leather shoes standard
Peel strength	≥70N/cm (higher than GB/T 3903.3)	≥50N/cm
Formaldehyde content	≤75mg/kg (referenced GB/T 19941.2)	≤150mg/kg
List of aromatic amines	Appendix E lists 24 prohibited substances	Usually not tested

---

Key process control points

Chapter 7 of the standard clearly requires:

1. The upper making process must use a CNC cutting machine (accuracy ±0.5mm)
2. Sole processing must adopt a compression molding process (temperature controlled at 160±5℃)
3. Post-finishing includes three polishing treatments (interval ≥2 hours)

Implementation suggestions

Manufacturers should focus on:

• Establish a hexavalent chromium rapid detection channel (reference GB/T 22807)
• Improve the shoe last size database (according to the requirements of Appendix A)
• Packaging must comply with GA 252 police packaging standards
