Full title and description

STB DIN EN ISO 10545-1:1997-12 — Ceramic tiles — Part 1: Sampling and basis for acceptance. This document is the German (DIN/EN) adoption of ISO 10545-1 (originally published as ISO 10545-1:1995) and specifies rules for batching, sampling, inspection and acceptance/rejection of ceramic tiles and tiles batches for conformity assessment and product acceptance.

Abstract

This standard defines how to form lots (batches) of ceramic tiles, how to take representative samples from those lots, and the procedures for inspection and the basis on which lots are accepted or rejected. It is intended to provide a uniform sampling and acceptance framework to be used alongside the test methods given in other parts of the ISO 10545 series.

General information

• Status: Withdrawn at international level (superseded by ISO 10545-1:2014); national adoption DIN EN ISO 10545-1:1997-12 corresponds to the 1997 publication and has been replaced by later editions.
• Publication date: 1 December 1997 (DIN EN ISO adoption).
• Publisher: Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN) — national adoption of the ISO text; original international publisher: International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
• ICS / categories: 91.100.23 — Ceramic tiles.
• Edition / version: DIN EN ISO 10545-1:1997-12 (based on ISO 10545-1:1995).
• Number of pages: DIN adoption: approximately 7 pages; original ISO 10545-1:1995: 5 pages.

Scope

The scope covers rules for batching (lot definition), procedures for selecting representative samples from lots of ceramic tiles, and the acceptance/rejection criteria to be applied after inspection. It is intended to be used in conjunction with the test methods in other parts of the ISO 10545 series (e.g., tests for dimensions, water absorption, mechanical properties, frost resistance) so that test results can be converted into an accept/reject decision for delivery, production control or certification.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition of batches/lots and how to group production units for sampling.
• Prescribed sample sizes and sampling procedures to obtain representative specimens from a lot.
• Rules for inspection and measurement to determine conformity with specified requirements.
• Decision criteria for acceptance or rejection of a lot based on sampled test results.
• Relationship to other parts of ISO 10545 for specific test methods (the sampling standard itself does not prescribe test methods but sets the acceptance framework).

Typical use and users

Used by ceramic tile manufacturers, quality control laboratories, importers/exporters, building product certifiers, construction product specifiers and regulators. It is applied when deliveries of tiles are inspected at factory, on arrival at site, or as part of contractual quality verification, to decide whether a lot meets contractual or regulatory acceptance criteria.

Related standards

Part of the ISO 10545 series (ceramic tiles), which contains many test-method parts such as dimensions and surface quality, water absorption and density, mechanical strength, abrasion resistance, frost resistance, etc. The original ISO 10545-1:1995 edition was later revised and replaced by ISO 10545-1:2014; other parts of the series have similarly been updated (e.g., many parts were revised in 2018).

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: DIN EN ISO 10545-1:1997-12 is the German/European adoption of ISO 10545-1 (1995) — the part of the ceramic tiles standard series that defines sampling and the basis for acceptance of tile lots.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers rules for forming lots, taking representative samples, performing inspections, and deciding whether a lot is accepted or rejected; it does not itself define specific test procedures, which are given in other parts of ISO 10545.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Manufacturers, test laboratories, purchasers (contracting authorities, importers), certifiers and regulators involved in ceramic-tile quality control and conformity assessment use the standard as the sampling and acceptance framework.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The 1997 DIN EN ISO adoption is based on ISO 10545-1:1995 and has been superseded at international level by ISO 10545-1:2014. Users should apply the most recent confirmed edition (ISO 10545-1:2014) or the currently adopted national/European text.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is Part 1 of the ISO 10545 series (ceramic tiles). Other parts in the series specify the individual test methods for dimensions, water absorption, mechanical properties, frost resistance and more.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Ceramic tiles, sampling, acceptance, lot, batch, inspection, quality control, DIN EN ISO 10545-1.
