GB/T 4100-2015Ceramic tiles (English PDF)

Foreword

This Standard is drafted in accordance with the rules given in GB/T 1.1-2009.

This Standard replaces GB/T 4100-2006 "Ceramic tiles". Compared with GB/T 4100-

2006, the main technical changes are as follows.

- ADD the specifications for the thickness of ceramic tiles (see 7.3);

- DELETE extruded ceramic tiles 3 % < E <= 6 %, Group AIIa - Part 2 (see Annex C

of 2006 edition);

- DELETE extruded ceramic tiles 6 % < E <= 10 %, Group AIIb - Part 2 (see Annex

E of 2006 edition);

- MODIFY the requirements for the coefficient of friction of ceramic tiles (See Annex

A, Annex B, Annex C, Annex D, Annex E, Annex G, Annex H, Annex J, Annex K,

Annex L of this Standard, Annex A, Annex B, Annex C, Annex D, Annex E, Annex

G, Annex H, Annex J, Annex K, Annex L of 2006 edition);

- MODIFY the requirements for the small colour difference of ceramic tiles (See

Annex A, Annex B, Annex C, Annex D, Annex E, Annex G, Annex H, Annex J,

Annex K, Annex L of this Standard, Annex A, Annex B, Annex C, Annex D, Annex

E, Annex G, Annex H, Annex J, Annex K, Annex L of 2006 edition);

- MODIFY the classification method for the technical requirements of dry-pressed

ceramic tiles, from the classification according to product surface areas to the

classification according to nominal sizes (see Annex G, Annex H, Annex J, Annex

K of this Standard, Annex G, Annex H, Annex J, Annex K of 2006 edition);

- MODIFY the classification method for the technical requirements of ceramic tiles,

from the classification according to whether there are spacer lugs to the

classification according to nominal sizes (see Annex L of this Standard, Annex L

of 2006 edition).

This Standard uses the re-drafting method to modify and adopt ISO 13006.2012

"Ceramic tiles - Definitions, classification, characteristics and marking".

Compared with ISO 13006.2012, this Standard has added 3 clauses (7.1, 7.2, 7.3) in

the structure, and added the thickness of ceramic tiles (see 7.3), to meet the needs of

the thinness tendency of China's ceramic tiles. ADD an annex (Annex M) to unify the

determination method for coefficient of friction. DELETE two annexes of ISO

1 Scope

This Standard specifies terms and definitions, classifications, characteristics, sampling

and basis for acceptance, requirements and test methods, marking and specifications

for ceramic tiles.

This Standard is applicable to ceramic tiles made by extrusion or dry pressing.

This Standard is not applicable to ceramic accessory tiles.
