Tiles are generally used as coverings for floors and walls. They are usually shaped by extruding (Method A) or dry-pressing (Method B) at room temperature followed by drying and firing at temperatures sufficient to develop the required properties, but can be formed by other processes. Tiles can be glazed (GL) or unglazed (UGL) and are incombustible and unaffected by light NOTE 2 A fully vitrified (or porcelain) tile is a tile with water absorption lower than 0,5 %. 3.2 glaze vitrified covering 3.3 engobed surface clay-based covering with a matt finish which can be permeable or impermeable NOTE A tile with an engobed surface is regarded as an unglazed tile. 3.4 polished surface surface of a glazed or unglazed tile which has been given a glossy finish by mechanical polishing carried out after firing 3.5 extruded tile tile whose body is shaped in the plastic state in an extruder, the column obtained being cut into tiles of pre-determined dimension NOTE 1 This European Standard classifies extruded tiles as “precision” or “natural”. The classification is dependent upon the different technical characteristics as listed in the normative Annexes A to F and R. NOTE 2 Traditional terms used for extruded products 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 not exceeding 6 %. NOTE 3 Extruded tiles include the letter ‘A’ in their designation (see Table 1). 3.6 dry-pressed tile tile formed from a finely milled body mixture and shaped by pressing
EN 14411:2006 (E) 7 NOTE Dry-pressed tiles include the letter ‘B’ in their designation (see Table 1) 3.7 spacer lug projection which is located along certain edges of tiles so that when two tiles are placed together, in line, the lugs on adjacent edges separate the tiles by a distance not less than the specified width of the joint NOTE 1 Lugs are positioned so that the joint between the tiles may be filled with grout without the lugs remaining exposed. NOTE 2 Dry-pressed tiles may be made with other spacer lug systems and, in such cases, the manufacturer's work size applies. NOTE 3
The use of spacer lugs are illustrated in Figure 2. 3.8 water absorption (symbol E) percentage of water by mass, measured in accordance with EN ISO 10545-3 3.9 description of sizes see Figures 1 and 2 NOTE These are only defined for rectangular tiles. If the sizes of non-rectangular tiles are required, they are defined by the smallest rectangle into which they will fit. 3.9.1 nominal size size used to describe the product 3.9.2 work size (symbol W) size of a tile specified for manufacturing to which the actual size has to conform within specified permissible deviations NOTE This is specified by the dimensions length, width and thickness. 3.9.3 actual size size obtained by measuring the face of the tile in accordance with EN ISO 10545-2 3.9.4 coordinating size (symbol C) work size plus the joint width 3.9.5 modular size dimensions based on the modules M, and also their multiples or subdivisions, except for tiles with a surface area of less than 9 000 mm2 NOTE See ISO 1006 where 1 M = 100 mm. 3.9.6 non-modular size size not based on module M NOTE See ISO 1006 where 1 M = 100 mm. 3.9.7 tolerance difference between the permissible limits
EN 14411:2006 (E) 8 3.10 product group ceramic tiles manufactured through a defined process (extrusion or dry pressing) and featuring a specific porosity or water absorption 3.11 family in a product group ceramic tiles manufactured for which the test results of any one product within the family are valid for all other products within the family
NOTE Families can be defined in terms of body characteristics (same size and thickness) or surface finish characteristics (same glaze and/or decoration composition and properties). 4 Classification 4.1 Basis of classification Ceramic tiles are divided into groups according to their method of manufacture and their water absorption (see 3.8 and Table 1). The groups do not presuppose the usage of the products. Table 1 — Classification of ceramic tiles with respect to water absorption and shaping Shaping Group I E ≤≤≤≤ 3 % Group IIa 3 % <<<< E ≤ 6 % Group IIb 6 % <<<< E ≤ 10 % Group III E > 10 % A Extruded Group AIa E ≤ 0,5 % (see Annex M) Group AIb 0,5 % < E ≤ 3 % (see Annex A) Group AIIa-1 a (see Annex B) Group AIIa-2 a (see Annex C) Group AIIb-1 a (see Annex D) Group AIIb-2 a (see Annex E) Group AIII (see Annex F) B Dry pressed Group BIa E ≤ 0,5 % (see Annex G) Group BIb 0,5 % < E ≤ 3 % (see Annex H) Group BIIa (see Annex J) Group BIIb (see Annex K) Group BIII b (see Annex L) a
Groups AIIa and AIIb are divided into two parts (Parts 1 and 2) with different product specifications. b
Group BIII covers glazed tiles only. There is a low quantity of dry-pressed unglazed tiles produced with water absorption greater than 10 % that is not covered by this product group.
4.2 Methods of manufacture There are two methods of manufacture as follows: method A, extruded tiles (see 3.5), method B, dry-pressed tiles (see 3.6).
EN 14411:2006 (E) 9 4.3 Water absorption (E) groups There are three water absorption groups as follows: a) Tiles of low water absorption (Group I), E ≤≤≤≤ 3 % Group I is further divided as follows: a1)
for extruded tiles: 1) E ≤ 0,5 % (Group AIa,,), 2) 0,5 % < E ≤ 3 % (Group AIb,). a2) for dry-pressed tiles: 3) E ≤ 0,5 % ( Group BIa,), 4) 0,5 % < E ≤ 3 % ( Group BIb,). b) Tiles of medium water absorption (Group II), 3 % <<<< E ≤≤≤≤ 10 % Group II is further divided as follows: b1) for extruded tiles: 1) 3 % < E ≤ 6 % (Group AIIa, Parts 1 and 2), 2) 6 % < E ≤ 10 % (Group AIIb, Parts 1 and 2); b2) for dry-pressed tiles: 3) 3 % < E ≤ 6 % Group BIIa, 4) 6 % < E ≤ 10% Group BIIb. c) Tiles of high water absorption (Group III), E >>>> 10 % 5 Characteristics The characteristics for different applications of ceramic tiles are given in Table 2.

EN 14411:2006 (E) 11 6 Evaluation of conformity 6.1 General For the purposes of testing (including FPC testing), ceramic tiles may be grouped into families where it is considered that the results for one or more characteristics from any one item in the family are representative for all items within that family of testing (a product may be in different families for different characteristics). The conformity of a family of ceramic tiles with the requirements of this European Standard and with the stated values (including classes) shall be demonstrated by: — initial type testing, — factory production control by the manufacturer, including product assessment. For these purposes, tests previously performed in accordance with the provisions of this European Standard (same product, same characteristic(s), test method, sampling procedure, system of attestation of conformity etc.) may be taken into account. Where a manufacturer produces the same product on more than one production line or unit, or in more than one factory, and provided the production equipment and/or production line or unit, does not influence the performance declarations forming part of the CE marking, there is not need to repeat the ITT for these lines or various factories, the responsibility been of the manufacturer for ensuring that the products are indeed the same (according to Guidance Paper M, clause 4.12, published by the Commission on Conformity Assessment under the CPD). 6.2 Initial type testing Initial type testing (ITT) shall be carried out to confirm that the characteristics of a family of products meet the requirements of the standard. Only one ITT is required where different manufacturing units are producing the same product, for the same manufacturer, using the same materials and documented production and process control. All declared characteristics shall be subject to initial type testing, with the exception of reaction to fire (Decision 96/603/EEC). The results of the ITT shall be recorded and be available for inspection for at least 10 years after the date of last production of the family to which they relate. 6.3 Factory production control 6.3.1 General The manufacturer shall establish, document and maintain an FPC system to ensure that the products placed on the market conform with the stated performance characteristics. The FPC system shall consist of procedures, regular inspections and tests and/or assessments and the use of the results to control raw and other incoming materials or components, equipment, the production process and the product. NOTE An FPC system conforming with the requirements of EN ISO 9001, and made specific to the requirements of this standard, is considered to satisfy 6.3.2 to 6.3.4. The results of inspections, tests or assessments requiring action shall be recorded, as shall any action taken. The action to be taken when control values or criteria are not met shall be recorded and retained for the period specified in the manufacturer’s FPC procedures.
EN 14411:2006 (E) 12 6.3.2 Equipment The manufacturer shall maintain and apply documented procedures to control, calibrate and maintain inspection, measuring and test equipment, used to demonstrate the conformance of product to the specified requirements. Equipment shall be used in a manner which ensures that measurement uncertainty is known and is consistent with the required measurement capability. Inspections and maintenance shall be carried out and recorded in accordance with the manufacturer’s written procedures and the records retained for the period defined in the manufacturer's FPC procedures. 6.3.3 Product testing and evaluation The manufacturer shall carry out all final inspection and testing in accordance with the quality plan or documented procedures to complete the evidence of conformance of the finished product to the specified requirements. The tests shall be carried out for each family of products according to the test methods and minimum frequency shown in Table 3. Indirect testing or the use of test methods different from those used for ITT is allowed, if a relationship between the FPC test method and the ITT method (e.g. controls carried out on the production line) is established, which ensures the conformity of the product to the specified requirements. NOTE Whenever practicable, the repetition of tests on the same item of the family shall be avoided, in order to check as many different products as possible among the items manufactured during the control period. 6.3.4 Inspection and test records The manufacturer shall maintain records in order to be able to prove that a product or a family in a group of products have been inspected and/or tested. The records shall contain, as a minimum, product description or of the family in a group of products, date of manufacture, test method, test results, date of test and compliance criteria. These records shall show clearly whether the product has passed or failed the inspections and/or tests according to defined acceptance criteria. Inspection and test records shall be maintained for a minimum of one year; test records on finished product shall be maintained for ten years.
