Abstract

Defines procedures for determination of resistance to thermal shock. Identical to and reproduced from ISO 10545-9:1994.

Scope

This part of ISO 10545 defines a test method for determining the resistance to thermal shock of all ceramic tiles under normal conditions of use.
Depending on the water absorption of the tiles, different procedures (tests with or without immersion) are used unless there is an agreement to the contrary.
NOTE 1 ISO 13006:-, Ceramic tiles - Definitions, classification, characteristics and marking (to be published) provides property requirements for tiles and other useful information on these products.
