At the international leather technology conference, the center professor delivered a speech on the research results, and was recognized and supported by the national leather technologist and chemist Association (IULTCS), and formally consulted for discussion in the world. After several years of consultation and discussion, the standard entered the CD draft and DIS draft to the final FDIS draft. In January 29, 2015, the International Standard Organization (ISO) and the international leather technologist and chemist Association (IULTCS) jointly issued the international standard, the standard code is ISO/FDIS 18218-2 and IULTCS/IUC 28-2.

The latest research shows that Morocco will play a role in the global footwear industry.

Abdelmalek Alaoui, President of Guepard Consulting Group, believes that many factors confirm that Morocco has the potential to develop footwear industry.

First of all, the amount of leather produced in Morocco will increase greatly. At present, raw materials in Morocco are mostly wasted to be converted into leather. Alaoui said that the raw leather collected and stored in the professional industry of Eid al AdhA can meet the raw material demand of Morocco 40%.

In addition, Morocco's proximity to Italy is considered another potential advantage. Italy specializes in footwear design and manufacture, as well as the manufacture of finished leather and machinery. According to Alaoui analysis, Italy advisers and experts are not willing to share their experience in Asia because they are far away and may prefer to work in closer Morocco.

Another reason is related to the Chinese market. Alaoui believes that China's labor costs continue to rise, and shoe companies are considering shifting to lower cost areas. Morocco may be a destination worth considering. He cited the Morocco government's industrial upgrading plan launched in 2014 and offered to build new industrial parks for Chinese investors.

He believed that we should face up to the development trend of footwear production and strengthen cooperation between Morocco and Italy and China.
