Materials and articles in contact with foodstuffs - Test methods for crazing resistance of ceramic articles

This European Standard specifies two test methods (methods A and B) for the determination of crazing resistance of glazed ceramic tableware articles in contact with food with water absorption higher than 0,5 % (determined according to method C of EN 1217:1997). Method A is a test for resistance to crazing due to moisture expansion. Method B is a test for resistance to crazing due to thermal shock and is similar in most respects to EN 1183: 1997.

Werkstoffe und Gegenstände in Kontakt mit Lebensmitteln - Prüfverfahren für die Haarrissbeständigkeit keramischer Gegenstände

Diese Europäische Norm legt zwei Prüfverfahren fest (Verfahren A und B) für die Bestimmung der Haar-rissbeständigkeit von glasierten Gegenständen in Kontakt mit Lebensmitteln, deren Wasseraufnahmefähigkeit höher als 0,5 % ist (bestimmt nach Verfahren C nach EN 1217:1997). Verfahren A ist eine Prüfung der Beständig-keit gegen Haarrissbildung infolge von Feuchtigkeitsdehnung. Verfahren B ist eine Prüfung der Beständigkeit gegen Haarrissbildung infolge einer thermischen Schockbeanspruchung; sie entspricht im Wesentlichen EN 1183:1995.

Matériaux et articles en contact avec les denrées alimentaires - Méthodes d'essai de la résistance au tressaillage des articles en céramique

La présente Norme européenne spécifie deux méthodes d'essai (méthodes A et B) permettant de déterminer la résistance au tressaillage de la vaisselle en céramique émaillée en contact avec des denrées alimentaires et présentant une absorption d'eau supérieure a 0,5 % (déterminée selon la méthode C de l'EN 1217:1997). La méthode A est un essai de résistance au tressaillage provoqué par un gonflement du a l'humidité. La méthode B est un essai de résistance au tressaillage du au choc thermique ; elle est tres proche de la méthode préconisée dans l'EN 1183:1997.

EN 13258:2003 (E)41 ScopeThis European Standard specifies two test methods (methods A and B) for the determination of crazing resistanceof glazed ceramic tableware articles in contact with food with water absorption higher than 0,5 % (determinedaccording to method C of EN 1217:1997). Method A is a test for resistance to crazing due to moisture expansion.Method B is a test for resistance to crazing due to thermal shock and is similar in most respects toEN 1183:1997.2 Terms and definitionsFor the purposes of this European Standard, the following terms and definitions apply.2.1crazingformation of very fine cracks in the glaze caused by either moisture expansion of the body or thermal stress whichcreates sufficient tension in the glaze to cause it to craze2.2moisture expansionexpansion of ceramic bodies with high water absorption due to penetration of water vapour through imperfections inthe glaze2.3thermal shocksudden change in temperature3 Principles3.1 Method AThe samples are subjected to saturated steam at a defined pressure for a number of cycles in an autoclave to testresistance to crazing due to moisture expansion. The steam pressure is increased and reduced slowly in order tominimize thermal shock. The samples are examined for crazing after each cycle. A stain is applied to the surface toaid in the detection of crazing cracks.3.2 Method BSamples are heated in a test oven and then cooled rapidly in a cold water bath under controlled conditions in orderto subject the articles to thermal shock.Thermal shock tests are repeated using increasing temperature differences. The samples are examined for crazingafter each thermal shock test. The water in the cold water bath is stained to aid in the detection of crazing cracks.4 ApparatusNOTEItems 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 are required for method A and items 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7 and 4.8 are required for method B.4.1Autoclave of sufficient volume to contain several samples, built for a steam pressure of at least 500 kPa.The steam may be provided by either external or internal heating of the autoclave or from a separate steamgenerator. The autoclave shall be equipped with: a pressure gauge; a safety valve; a means to reduce pressurewithin the autoclave to atmospheric pressure for safe opening at the end of each cycle and a means of controllingthe steam pressure at (340 ± 34) kPa.4.2Aqueous solution containing (5 ± 1) g/l of eosine and (5 ± 1) g/l of domestic washing up liquid.SIST EN 13258:2003
