What are anti-slip standards?
The anti-slip properties of the sole are regulated by the European standard EN ISO 20345, which is also applied for safety shoes in Poland. These designations indicate how the shoes behave on different surfaces and in conditions where it is easy to slip.
SRA, SRB, SRC - co to? These are anti-slip classes derived from laboratory tests. Each of them tests the grip of the sole on a specific surface and substance.
SRA: protection on ceramic tiles
SRA is a designation that indicates that the footwear has been tested on ceramic tiles coated with a soap solution.
Where relevant: kitchens, food processing, cafes, hotels, cleaning services. Basically anywhere there is water and smooth tile.
Shoes labelled SRA are recommended for occupations where the main risk is slippery floors, but no grease or oil.
SRB: steel-surface protection
SRB indicates that the sole has been tested on a steel plate lubricated with glycerine.
Where used: metallurgy, engineering, factories, car workshops. Wherever the floor may be contaminated with technical liquids.
Buty antypoślizgowe with SRB sole are designed to work in difficult conditions with oily and slippery surfaces.
SRC: universal protection for all conditions
SRC is the highest anti-slip class. It includes both previous tests: SRA + SRB. So the shoes are tested both on tiles with soap and steel with glycerine.
Suitable for: warehouses, logistics, manufacturing, construction, food and heavy industry.
Buty robocze SRC is a universal solution for all those who cannot risk safety, regardless of the type of surface.
Comparison table: SRA, SRB, SRC
| Designation | Surface | Test substance | Where used |
| SRA | Ceramic tiles | Soap solution | Kitchens, cleaning services, light industry |
| SRB | Steel plate | Glycerine | Factories, workshops, car service stations |
| SRC | Both surfaces | Both substances | All types of production, universal application |
How to choose the right footwear? Practical tips
Choosing the right podeszwa antypoślizgowa is not only a matter of comfort, but also of health.
Assess the risks. If you are working on tile, SRA is sufficient. In conditions with oil or grease - minimum SRB. If the coating is changing or you are not sure, it is better to take SRC.
Read the labelling. It is indicated on the tag, box or description. Do not buy shoes without an anti-slip marking. This is a risk, especially for professions with physical labour.
In doubt? Always choose SRC - it is the most reliable and versatile option.
