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 document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the

4.1 Sampling
Fibre-combined multilayer ceramic tiles and relevant specimens shall not contain any visible damage or
cracks prior to testing and shall not have been tested previously. The fibre reinforcement on the back shall be
not removable by hand.
The number of test specimens for each fibre-combined multilayer ceramic tile is reported in Table 1Table 1.
Test specimens dimensions shall be (50 ± 1) mm x (50 ± 1) mm resulting from the cutting in any position of
the original sample. Avoid areas of tile samples with deep face structure that can interfere with the bonding
of the pull-head plates.
