The EN ISO 10545 standard, developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), specifies the rules for blending, sampling, inspection and acceptance or rejection of ceramic tiles.
Karo Seramik is a floor and wall covering material produced from ceramic material as sheets of various sizes. A tile is defined as "a flat surface piece whose length and width are clearly greater than its thickness". Tiles are produced in various sizes, from mosaics with a surface measurement of less than 90 cm² to tiles with a side length of 1 meter. Tile thicknesses range from 5 mm for small wall covering tiles to 20-25 mm for large tiles.
As EUROLAB Laboratory, we provide standard testing services for EN ISO 10545 and all its departments.
