There is a low quantity of dry-pressed unglazed tiles produced with water absorption greater than 10 % that are not covered by this European Standard. SIST EN 14411:2016

Products may be grouped in different families for different characteristics. Reference to the assessment method standards should be made to allow the selection of a suitable representative sample. In addition, type testing shall be performed for the declared characteristics: — at the beginning of the production of a new or modified ceramic tile (unless a member of the same family), or — at the beginning of a new or modified manufacturing process (where this may affect the stated properties); or they shall be repeated for the appropriate characteristic(s), whenever a change occurs in the ceramic tile design, in the raw material or in the supplier of the components, or in the method of production (subject to the definition of a family), which would affect significantly one or more of the characteristics. Where components are used whose characteristics have already been determined, by the component manufacturer, on the basis of assessment methods of other product standards, these characteristics need not be re-assessed. The specifications of these components shall be documented. Products bearing regulatory marking in accordance with Annex ZA of this harmonized standard may be presumed to have the performances declared in the DoP, although this does not replace the responsibility on the ceramic tile manufacturer to ensure that the ceramic tile as a whole is correctly manufactured.

Any such events shall be recorded as they occur and these records shall be kept for the period defined in the manufacturer’s written procedures. Where the ceramic tile fails to satisfy the acceptance criteria, the provisions for non-complying products shall apply, the necessary corrective action(s) shall immediately be taken and the ceramic tile or batches not complying shall be isolated and properly identified. Once the fault has been corrected, the test or verification in question shall be repeated. The results of controls and tests shall be properly recorded. The product description, date of manufacture, test method adopted, test results and acceptance criteria shall be entered in the records under the signature of the person responsible for the control/test. With regard to any control result not meeting the requirements of this European standard, the corrective measures taken to rectify the situation (e.g. a further test carried out, modification of manufacturing process, and throwing away or putting right of product) shall be indicated in the records.
