Test methods for determination of Impact resistance, release of lead and cadmium and small colour differences are now listed but no requirements are specified. This document supersedes EN 14411:2003. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom. 标准分享网 w w w .b z f x w .c o m 免费下载 EN 14411:2006 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard defines and gives terms, specifies requirements and marking criteria for ceramic tiles (produced by extrusion and dry-pressing techniques) of the best commercial quality (first quality). Tiles not of first commercial quality are also covered following the provisions of Annex Q. This European Standard does not cover tiles made by other than the normal processes of extrusion or dry- pressing nor decorative accessories or trim (such as edges, corners, skirting, capping, coves, beads, steps, curved tiles and other accessory pieces) or mosaics (i.e. any piece that can fit into a 7 cm × 7 cm area, see custom nomenclature). NOTE EN ISO 10545 describes the test procedures required to determine the product characteristics listed in this European Standard. EN ISO 10545 is divided into parts, each describing a specific test procedure or related matter. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

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 标准分享网 w w w .b z f x w .c o m 免费下载 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.
