SIST EN 14411:2016
EN 14411:2016 (E) 4 European foreword This document (EN 14411:2016) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 67 “Ceramic tiles”, the secretariat of which is held by UNI. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by January 2017, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by April 2018. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document supersedes EN 14411:2012. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s). For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document. The changes with respect to the previous edition include: Errors (editorial): — Skipping Annex I, because ceramic tiles that comply with the requirements of EN 14411, have to include specific marking on the boxes. One of the requirements of this marking is to indicate the reference to the standard and the annex it complies with. Previous editions of EN 14411 all skipped the reference to Annex I, and only the 2012 edition included it by error. This also affects the numbering of annexes which go after I (J, K, L,.) since these all shift one letter downwards. If this is not corrected, manufacturers will need to update the marking and change all the boxes. Furthermore, the letter of the annex has traditionally been connected with a specific group or type of ceramic tile, and the change will create confusion. In order to avoid all these unnecessary consequences, and increased costs, it is requested, like it has been done in the past with previous editions, to skip Annex I, and adapt the successive annexes accordingly. — Renumbering of Annexes J to P (previous I to O) — Annex C – dimensional tolerance limits for surface flatness were incorrect (see EN 14411:2006) — Annex K – Eliminated note ‘o’ since it was duplicated (same as note ‘n’) — Updated references to annexes throughout the text Changes (technical): — Exclusion of ceramic decorative pieces, trims and accessories (not included in mandate) — Exclusion of meshed backed products (these are considered systems or kits, involving other non-ceramic materials, thus not covered by this standard) — New Clause 6 on assessment and verification of the constancy of performance (previous evaluation of conformity clause) according to Doc. TF N 548 Rev 1 Guidance document. SIST EN 14411:2016
EN 14411:2016 (E) 5 — Clause 8 on marking: addition of text for special consideration of marking on small size tiles — Table 2, clause B.10d): elimination of ‘mortar’ in the bond strength characteristic (the reference to test standard EN 1015-12 is not appropriate since it is not used to determine the adhesion properties of ceramics but of renders and plastering mortars on substrates). Eliminated references throughout the text. — New Annex ZA according to CPR (including Delegated Regulation EU 157/2014 relative to DoP on websites and Delegated Regulation EU 574/2014 relative to model of DoP. According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom.

EN 14411:2016 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard defines terms and specifies characteristics for ceramic tiles, including mosaics (i.e. any piece that can fit into a square area of 49 cm2) produced by extrusion or dry-pressing techniques, used for internal and/or external floorings (including stairs) and/or walls. Furthermore, it provides the level of requirements for these characteristics and references to the test methods applied as well as provisions for the assessment and verification of the constancy of performance. This European Standard is not applicable to: — meshed backed products; — ceramic decorative accessories or trims (such as edges, corners, skirting, capping, coves, beads, curved tiles and other accessory pieces); — ceramic tiles made by processes other than extrusion or dry-pressing; — dry-pressed unglazed ceramic tiles with water absorption greater than 10 %; — ceramic tiles used for floorings on external road finishes; — ceramic tiles used in ceiling finishes or suspended ceilings. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

EN 14411:2016 (E) 10 Note 1 to entry: Families can be defined in terms of body characteristics (same composition, size and thickness) or surface finish characteristics (same glaze and/or decoration composition and properties). 4 Classification of ceramic tiles Tiles are usually shaped by extruding or dry-pressing at room temperature followed by drying and firing at temperatures sufficient to develop the required properties. They can also be formed by other processes, but these are not covered by this European Standard. According to this European Standard, ceramic tiles shall be classified into groups according to two parameters: by their method of manufacture (also referred to ‘shaping’) that is, by extrusion (expressed as group “A” tiles) or dry-pressing (expressed as group “B” tiles), and by their water absorption level (see 3.9 and Table 1). The groups do not presuppose the usage of the products. The requirements for each product group shall be as given in Annexes A to M. For the purpose of classification, the test method used to determine water absorption level is the boiling method according to EN ISO 10545-3. Furthermore, extruded tiles can be classified as “precision” or “natural”. The classification is dependent upon the different technical characteristics as listed in Annexes A to F and M. Traditional terms used for extruded tiles 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 %. Tiles can be glazed (GL) or unglazed (UGL). A tile with an engobed surface is regarded as an unglazed tile. Ceramic tiles in groups AIa and BIa can be designated as porcelain tiles (see definition in 3.2).

Part 1 covers most of the tiles in the group; Part 2 covers certain specific products, which are manufactured under different names (e.g. terre cuite in France and Belgium, cotto in Italy and baldosin catalán in Spain). b Group BIII covers glazed ceramic tiles only. There is a low quantity of dry-pressed unglazed tiles produced with water absorption greater than 10 % that are not covered by this European Standard. SIST EN 14411:2016
EN 14411:2016 (E) 11 5 Requirements 5.1 General All ceramic tiles shall comply with the requirements of Annex ZA. Furthermore, those tiles complying with the requirements in Annexes A to M can be classified as first quality tiles. 5.2 Characteristics The characteristics of ceramic tiles relevant for different applications shall be as given in Table 2. Requirements for these characteristics, i.e. for dimensional and surface quality as well as those for physical and chemical properties shall be as given in the specific annex according to the product group (Annexes A to M). Characteristics given in Table 2 in “plain” text are relevant to all intended uses, while those in “italics” are additionally relevant for specific intended use(s) only. Characteristics, given in “bold” text, are the mandated essential characteristics or the corresponding proxy characteristics (for CE marking, see Annex ZA) and those in “normal” text, the voluntary characteristics (not for CE marking).

EN 14411:2016 (E) 13 6 Assessment and verification of constancy of performance (AVCP) 6.1 General The compliance of ceramic tiles with the requirements of this European Standard and with the performances declared (i.e. classes, levels) by the manufacturer in the DoP shall be demonstrated by: — determination of product type or group (through type testing); — factory production control by the manufacturer, including product assessment. The manufacturer shall always retain the overall control and shall have the necessary means to take responsibility for the conformity of the product with its declared performance(s). 6.2 Type testing 6.2.1 General All performances related to characteristics included in this standard shall be determined when the manufacturer intends to declare the respective performances unless the standard gives provisions for declaring them without performing tests (e.g. use of previously existing data, CWFT and conventionally accepted performance). Assessment previously performed in accordance with the provisions of this standard, may be taken into account provided that they were made to the same or a more rigorous test method, under the same AVCP system on the same product or products of similar design, construction and functionality, such that the results are applicable to the product in question. For the purposes of assessment, ceramic tiles may be grouped into families, where it is considered that the results for one or more characteristics from any ceramic tile within the family are representative for that same characteristic
