It might be useful to know contect here.  I did some preliminary
work under the assumption that you needed something defined for
the US, and thus probably the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration.

If this is the case, then the answer is maybe.  :)

"Non-slip" or "slip resistant" doesn't appear to be rigidly defined.
The OHSA has a definitation from their <em>nonmandatory</em> table that
says slip resistant is defined as as having a Coefficient of Friction 
(static I presume) of greater than 0.5

http://www.osha.gov/pls/oshaweb/owadisp.show_document?p_table=INTERPRETATIONS&p_id=24511

This appears to be for surfaces or for shoes.

Other than that I can find no further reference.

No, as for SAS shoes, they appear to be a small operation located
in San Antonio, TX with no on-line presence.  I would suspect
calling them for information might be your best bet.

All of this depends on what your work requires, i.e. how do they make
their list?

For other researchers:

Google: osha non-slip shoes
OSHA: Search of just regulations for slip-resistant and shoes

Google: SAS shoes ...Then to local for the factory store
