What Are SRC Anti-Slip Safety Boots?

SRC anti-slip safety boots carry the highest slip resistance classification under EN ISO 20345 standards. These boots are tested and proven to provide excellent grip on both ceramic tiles with detergent and steel surfaces with glycerin, making them ideal for wet and oily environments.

SRC Testing Requirements

To achieve SRC rating, safety boots must pass two separate slip tests: SRA (slip resistance on ceramic tile with detergent solution) and SRB (slip resistance on steel with glycerin). This dual testing ensures reliable slip protection in diverse conditions.

Best Environments for SRC Boots

Frequently Asked Questions

Q:What is the difference between SRA, SRB, and SRC?

SRA tests slip resistance on ceramic tile with detergent. SRB tests on steel with glycerin. SRC combines both tests, meaning the boots are slip-resistant on both surface types for maximum protection. When choosing between options, consider your specific workplace hazards, required protection levels, and comfort preferences. Different industries and work environments have varying safety requirements that should guide your decision. For example, electrical workers may prioritize EH protection, while construction workers need robust toe and puncture protection.

Q:Are SRC boots more expensive?

SRC boots may cost slightly more due to specialized outsole compounds and tread designs. However, the investment is worthwhile in slip-prone environments where fall prevention is critical. For more detailed information or specific requirements, please contact our team of safety footwear experts.

Q:Can SRC boots prevent all slips?

While SRC boots significantly reduce slip risk, no footwear can guarantee complete slip prevention. SRC rating provides the highest available protection, but proper work practices and surface maintenance are also important.
