Overview

EN 15285:2008 (CEN) specifies requirements and test methods for agglomerated stone modular tiles intended for use as flooring and stairs (internal and external). It covers modular tile dimensions (≤ 600 × 600 mm, thickness 6–20 mm), geometric tolerances, surface finishes, performance characteristics, conformity assessment and marking. The standard excludes terrazzo tiles covered by EN 13748-1 and EN 13748-2.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Definitions and scope: modular tile definition, declared dimensions and intended end-use (fixed by mortar or adhesives).
• Geometric characteristics (measured per EN 14617‑16):
  • Length/width tolerance ±0.5 mm; thickness ±0.7 mm
  • Straightness ±0.3 mm; rectangularity ±0.9 mm; flatness tolerance ±2% (referred to length)
  • Typical bevel: 45° angle, 1.0 mm width ±0.7 mm (unless otherwise specified)
• Surface finish: finishes must extend uniformly to edges; examples include textured (mould-copied), fine ground (F220), matt (e.g. F400) and highly polished surfaces.
• Performance characteristics and classifications (declared and tested where required):
  • Water absorption (W1–W4), flexural strength (F1–F4), abrasion resistance (A1–A4), chemical resistance (C1–C4) - classification tables are provided for design and specification.
  • Additional properties: slip resistance, reaction to fire, thermal conductivity, thermal shock and frost resistance, impact resistance, dimensional stability, electrical resistivity.
• Test methods referenced: EN 14617 series (apparent density, flexural strength, abrasion, freeze/thaw, thermal shock, impact, chemical resistance, thermal expansion, dimensional stability), EN 14231 (pendulum slip test), EN 13501‑1 (reaction to fire), EN 12664 (thermal performance).
• Conformity & marking: procedures for Initial Type Testing (ITT), Factory Production Control (FPC), CE marking and requirements related to the EU Construction Products Directive (informative Annex ZA).

Applications and who uses it

• Manufacturers of agglomerated stone tiles use EN 15285 to define product specifications, declare performance values and implement factory production control.
• Architects, specifiers and designers rely on the standard when selecting tiles for internal/external flooring and stair applications, ensuring durability, slip resistance and fire/thermal performance.
• Testing laboratories and certification bodies apply the referenced EN test methods to verify compliance.
• Contractors and installers refer to dimensional tolerances and surface finish requirements for proper installation with mortar or adhesives.

Related standards

• EN 13501‑1 (reaction to fire)

Figure 1 — Dimensions of a modular tile 4 Requirements 4.1 Requirements for geometric characteristics 4.1.1 General All measurements of geometrical characteristics of modular tiles as given in the following clauses shall be carried out in accordance with EN 14617-16. 4.1.2 Dimensions The dimensions of modular tiles shall always be declared (see 3.2). 4.1.3 Size and shape The tolerances for size and shape of modular tiles shall be as given in Table 1. Stricter tolerances than those given in Table 1 may be declared by the manufacturer. This is particularly important when tiles are to be fixed with adhesive.

± 0,5 mm Thickness ± 0,7 mm Straightness of sides ± 0,3 mm Rectangularity ± 0,9 mm Flatness: – centre curvature – edge curvature – warping ± 2 % referred to length
If the tile is required to be bevelled (when no other specification is made), the angle of the bevel shall be 45° and the width of the bevel shall be 1,0 mm with a tolerance of ± 0,7 mm. 4.1.4.2 Surfaces after finishing Surfaces of modular tiles shall have a regular appearance as a function of the finishing process and shall be worked to meet the finish declared (e.g. by submission of samples beforehand between the manufacturer and purchaser). Examples of the surface finishes are: a) surfaces with texture in relief obtained by copying the design of the mould (e.g. hand-splitted or artistic design); b) fine ground surfaces, obtained e.g. by means of a grinding disk of grain size F 220; c) matt finished surfaces, obtained e.g. by means of a polishing disk with grain size F 400; d) highly polished surfaces, obtained e.g. by means of a polishing disk or felt. 4.2 Requirements for flooring and stairs modular tiles made of agglomerated stones 4.2.1 General The values for the characteristics in 4.2.2 to 4.2.17 shall be declared for flooring and stairs modular tiles made of agglomerated stones when subject to regulatory requirements and may be declared otherwise with reference to the intended end use conditions.
