What is a R10 slip rating?

R10 Anti Slip Rating – Options that possess R10 anti slip ratings will provide minor to moderate resistance to slipping, making them ideal for use in hallways, kitchens, and other living spaces including bathrooms.

Is SRA better than SRC?

SRC is currently the top rating for slip resistance under the EN ISO 20345:2011 standard and requires passing both the SRA and SRB test for it to achieve the rating.

What is SRC slip rating?

SRC simply means that the shoe has been tested in SRA conditions (mentioned above) but ALSO passed SRB testing for oil on metal (steel floor). This slip resistance rating is the highest safety rating that outsoles can be approved for.

Which footwear sole has the best slip resistance?

SRC. Work shoes with SRC certification combine the slip resistance of SRA and SRB. This safety footwear therefore offers the highest slip resistance.

What is a good slip resistance rating for tile?

Rating <25 – Very slippery. Rating 26-35 – Average. Rating 35-65 – Good skid resistance. Rating 66+ – Excellent skid resistance.

Is R10 OK for shower floor?

Often used to prevent slippage in domestic situations, anti-slip tile ratings of R10 will be perfect for kitchens and bathrooms. Thanks to their anti-slip properties, they can also be used as external floor tiles (porcelain versions only) or commercial tiles.

What is SRA slip resistance?

The codes indicate that the footwear has met the specified requirements when tested as follows: SRA – tested on ceramic tile wetted with dilute soap solution; SRB – tested on smooth steel with glycerol; SRC – tested under both the above conditions.

What does S1 P SRA mean?

The S1 rating essentially means that on top of the safety features offered by SB footwear, you also get the features of A, E, and FO. So, as well as toe protection, you get antistatic protection, an energy absorbent heel, and a fuel oil resistant outer sole.

What does S3 SRC mean?

S3 – All of the features as S2, plus midsole penetration resistance – meaning that these shoes are puncture proof. For example, a steel midsole prevents sharp objects from piercing through the sole. S4 – All of the features as S1, but is made from a rubber upper or entirely moulded polymer, such as a Wellington boot.

What does SRA mean in safety shoes?

Slip-Resistant
The Slip-Resistant Sole Codes and What They Mean Slip resistance is classified via the following codes which indicate where the shoes have been tested on and thus, their level of slip resistance… SRA – Tested on ceramic tile floor wetted with a diluted soap solution.

What slip rating do I need?

A tile with a rating between P0-P3 is generally considered suitable for indoor flooring while a P4 or P5 has a lower slip risk and can be used outside or around a pool.

What does DCOF 0.42 mean?

This rating is called the Dynamic Coefficient of Friction (DCOF). According to modern DCOF AcuTest results, receiving higher than a 0.42 DCOF rating on level surfaces means there is a high slip resistance potential and therefore a low probability of slipping.
