3.1.ceramic tile
thin slab made from clays and/or other inorganic raw materials, generally used as covering for floors and wails, usually shaped by extruding (A) or pressing (B) at room temperature, but may be formed by other processes (C), then dried and subsequently fired at temperatures sufficient to develop the required properties
Note 1 to entry: Tiles may be glazed (GL) or unglazed (UGL); they are incombustible and are not affected by light.
3.2 porcelain tile fully vitrified tile with water absorption coefficient less than or equal to a mass fraction of 0,5 %, belonging to groups Ala and BIa
3.3 glaze vitrified covering that is impermeable
3.4 engobed surface clay-based covering with a matt finish which may be permeable or impermeable Note 1 to entry: A tile with an engobed surface is regarded as an unglazed tile.
3.5 polished surface
surface of glazed and unglazed tile which has been given a glossy finish by mechanical polishing as the last stage of manufacture
3.6 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, and which is designated as Group A
Note 1 to entry: This document classifies extruded tiles as “precision” or “natural”. The classification is dependent upon the different technical characteristics as listed in the individual product standards.
Note 2 to entry: 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 coefficient of a mass fraction not exceeding 6 %.
3.7 dry-pressed tile
tile, formed from a finely milled body mixture and shaped (e.g. in dies or moulds) at high pressure, and which is designated as Group B.AS 13006 pdf download.
