Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.

The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. www.iso.org/directives

The committee responsible for this document is ISO/TC 189, Ceramic tile.

This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 10545‑9:2004), which has been technically revised.

ISO 10545 consists of the following parts, under the general title Ceramic tiles:

— Part 1: Sampling and basis for acceptance
— Part 2: Determination of dimensions and surface quality
— Part 3: Determination of water absorption, apparent porosity, apparent relative density and bulk density
— Part 4: Determination of modulus of rupture and breaking strength
— Part 5: Determination of impact resistance by measurement of coefficient of restitution
— Part 6: Determination of resistance to deep abrasion for unglazed tiles
— Part 7: Determination of resistance to surface abrasion for glazed tiles
— Part 8: Determination of linear thermal expansion
— Part 9: Determination of resistance to thermal shock
— Part 10: Determination of moisture expansion
— Part 11: Determination of crazing resistance for glazed tiles
— Part 12: Determination of frost resistance
— Part 13: Determination of chemical resistance
— Part 14: Determination of resistance to stains
— Part 15: Determination of lead and cadmium given off by glazed tiles
— Part 16: Determination of small colour differences
