Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation of the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) see: www.iso.org/iso/foreword.html.
This document was prepared by ISO/TC 189, Ceramic tile.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 13006:2012), which has been technically revised.
This main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
The boiling method in ISO 10545-3 is no longer referenced for the determination of water absorption. The vacuum method is now referenced for the determination of water absorption.
Any feedback or questions on this document should be directed to the user’s national standards body. A complete listing of these bodies can be found at www.iso.org/members.html.

Ceramic tiles — Definitions, classification, characteristics and marking

1Scope

This document defines terms and establishes classifications, characteristics and marking requirements for ceramic tiles of the best commercial quality (first quality). This document is not applicable to tiles made by other than normal processes of extrusion or dry pressing. It is not applicable to decorative accessories or trim such as edges, corners, skirting, capping, coves, beads, steps, curved tiles and other accessory pieces or mosaics (i.e. any piece that can fit into a square, the side of which is less than 7 cm).
NOTEISO 10545 (all parts) describes the test procedures required to determine the product characteristics listed in this document. ISO 10545 is a multi-part standard, each part describes a specific test procedure or related matter.

3Terms and definitions

For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in ISO 1006 and the following apply.
ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:
IEC Electropedia: available at https://www.electropedia.org/
ISO Online browsing platform: available at https://www.iso.org/obp
3.1
ceramic tile
thin slab made from clays and/or other inorganic raw materials, generally used as covering for floors and walls, usually shaped by extruding (A) or pressing (B) at room temperature, but may be formed by other processes (C), then dried and subsequently fired at temperatures sufficient to develop the required properties
Note 1 to entry: Tiles may be glazed (GL) or unglazed (UGL); they are incombustible and are not affected by light.
3.2
porcelain tile
fully vitrified tile with water absorption coefficient less than or equal to a mass fraction of 0,5 %, belonging to groups AIa and BIa
3.3
glaze
vitrified covering that is impermeable
3.4
engobed surface
clay-based covering with a matt finish which may be permeable or impermeable
Note 1 to entry: A tile with an engobed surface is regarded as an unglazed tile.
3.5

extruded tile
tile, whose body is shaped in the plastic state in an extruder, the column obtained being cut into tiles of pre-determined dimension, and which is designated as Group A
Note 1 to entry: This document classifies extruded tiles as “precision” or “natural”. The classification is dependent upon the different technical characteristics as listed in the individual product standards.
Note 2 to entry: Traditional terms used for extruded products are “split tiles” and “quarry tiles”. They commonly indicate double-extruded and single-extruded tiles, respectively. The term “quarry tiles” only refers to extruded tiles with a water absorption coefficient of a mass fraction not exceeding 6 %.

percentage of water impregnating a tile
Note 1 to entry: This is measured in accordance with ISO 10545-3.
Note 2 to entry: Water absorption is expressed as a mass fraction of dry mass.
3.9Sizes
