EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN ISO 10545-16 testing. This standard describes a method for using color measuring instruments to measure small color differences between solid colored ceramic tiles designed to be of uniform and consistent colour.
It allows the determination of a maximum acceptable value, which depends only on the closeness of the match and not on the nature of the color difference.
This part of ISO 10545 does not apply to color variants produced for artistic purposes.
This test may only be applied where minor color differences between solid colored tiles are significant as per a specification or agreement.
When measuring the length, width, flatness of the edges, rectangularity, it is intended to ignore intermediate shoes and glazing drops and other irregularities on the edges if these are subsequently hidden at the joints after fixing (installation).
Visual inconsistency due to polishing Note 1: Polishing defects include, but are not limited to, uneven polishing, inconsistent reflectivity, abrasive marks or sanding marks that have not been completely removed from polishing, etc. includes.
For rectangular tiles, each pair of similar edges of a tile provides the appropriate average size of the tile, ie the average of two measurements. The average dimensions of the sample for length and width are the average of 20 measurements each.
The average size of square tiles is the average of four measurements. The average size of the sample is the average of 40 measurements.
