General Information
Overview
EN ISO 10545-11:1996 is a crucial European and international standard that specifies the test method for determining the crazing resistance of glazed ceramic tiles. This standard applies to all glazed ceramic tiles, except in cases where crazing is an intentional decorative feature. Crazing refers to fine hairline cracks limited to the glazed surface of a tile, which can affect the tile's durability, aesthetics, and long-term performance. The standard was developed by ISO/TC 189 and adopted by CEN to ensure uniform testing procedures and reliable assessment of glazed tiles in construction, manufacturing, and quality control.
Key Topics
Definition of Crazing
- Crazing is described as fine cracks confined to the glaze of ceramic tiles.
- It is distinct from surface scratches or structural cracks and can reduce the tile’s service life and resistance to moisture.
Scope and Application
- Applies to glazed ceramic tiles excluding those where crazing is a deliberate design element.
- Covers both plain and decorated tiles.
Test Method Summary
- Tiles are subjected to steam at high pressure in an autoclave (500 kPa, 159°C) for 2 hours.
- Pressurization is gradual, followed by rapid depressurization to induce thermal stress.
- After autoclaving, tiles are stained with a methylene blue solution to reveal craze lines.
- Examination is done under specific lighting conditions to identify crazing.
- A minimum of five tiles are tested, pieces from larger tiles allowed if necessary.
Equipment
- Autoclave capable of maintaining specified pressure and temperature with adequate volume for tile spacing.
- Visual inspection tools and staining solutions (e.g., 1% methylene blue with wetting agent).
Reporting
- Document the reference to EN ISO 10545-11.
- Include tile description, number of specimens tested, number showing crazing, and a detailed description or images of crazing.
Applications
- Quality Control in Manufacturing: Ensures consistency and durability of glazed ceramic tiles before market release.
- Construction and Installation: Helps builders and specifiers select tiles resistant to crazing, improving long-term performance in environments exposed to moisture and temperature variations.
- Product Certification and Compliance: Meets regulatory and industry requirements for ceramic tiles used in residential, commercial, and public buildings.
- Material Research & Development: Enables manufacturers to evaluate new glazing materials and production processes for improved crazing resistance.
Related Standards
EN ISO 10545 is a multipart standard series for ceramic tiles testing, including:
- Part 1: Sampling and basis for acceptance
- Part 2: Determination of dimensions and surface quality
- Part 3: Measurement of water absorption, porosity, and density
- Part 7: Resistance to surface abrasion for glazed tiles
- Part 9: Resistance to thermal shock
- Part 12: Determination of frost resistance
- Part 13: Determination of chemical resistance
- Part 14: Resistance to stains
Together, these standards provide a comprehensive framework for assessing the physical, mechanical, and chemical properties of ceramic tiles to optimize product quality.

Foreword
IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide
federation of national standards bodies (IS0 member bodies). The work
of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through IS0
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. IS0
collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission
(IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are
circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an lnternationai
Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting
a vote.
International Standard IS0 10545-I 1 was prepared by Tech
tee ISO/TC 189, Ceramic tile.
IS0 10545 consists of the following parts, under the genera
tiles:
- Part I: Sampling and basis for acceptance
- Part 2: Determination of dimensions and surface quality
- Part 3: Determination of water absorption, apparent porosity, appar-
ent relative density and bulk density
- Part 4: Determination of modulus of rupture and breaking strength
- Part 5: Determination of impact resistance by measurement of co-
efficient of restitution
- Part 6: Determination of resistance to deep abrasion for unglazed
tiles
- Part 7: Determination of resistance to surface abrasion for glazed
tiles
