Ceramic tiles — Definitions, classification, characteristics and marking
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). NOTE ISO 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.

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.

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 AI and BI
a a
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
polished surface
surface of glazed and unglazed tile which has been given a glossy f
