The following elements of the Standard are brought in the order given below: - Translation of the scope clause of the International Standard with national modifications and additions (in Hebrew) - Details of the national modifications and additions in the clauses of the International Standard (in Hebrew) - Translation of the Hebrew part of the Standard (in English) - The International Standard (in English) National notes in the Israeli Standard are brought as footnotes and indicated by letters of the alphabet. Scope (Clause 1 of the International Standard with national modifications and additions) Note: The national modifications and additions in this clause are brought in a different font. This Standard defines terms and establishes sorting, classifications, characteristics and marking requirements for ceramic tiles. This Standard is not applicable to tiles made by other than normal processes of extrusion or dry pressing. This Standard is not applicable to decorative accessories for walls or trim such as edges, corners, skirting, capping, coves, beads, steps, curved tiles and other accessory pieces or mosaic tile sheets (mosaic tile sheets are covered by Israeli Standard SI 1353). This Standard is applicable to ceramic tiles thicker than 5 mm and that their side dimension does not exceed 1,200 mm. This Standard is not applicable to tiles with a reinforcing mesh on the back and is not applicable to tiles composed of two ceramic tiles bonded together, back to back. Notes: - On the second line in the International Standard, the words "of the best commercial quality (first quality)" are not applicable. - On the fifth line in the International Standard, the words "(i.e. any piece that can fit into an area of 49 cm²)" are not applicable. - The NOTE is not applicable. 1 SI 314 (2014) (translation of Israel national modifications and additions only) Details of the national modifications and additions to the clauses of the International Standard 2. Normative references - The International Standards ISO 1006 and ISO 10545-1 are not applicable. - The following shall be added at the end of the clause: Israel Standards SI 1003 Part 1.2(a)- Release of lead and cadmium from ware in contact with food: Ceramic ware, glass-ceramic ware and glass dinnerware – Permissible limits SI 1555 Part 1 - Installation of mosaic and ceramic flooring and cladding system in buildings: Exterior cladding SI 1555 Part 2(a) - Installation of mosaic and ceramic flooring and cladding system in buildings: Interior cladding SI 1555 Part 3 - Installation of mosaic and ceramic flooring and cladding system in buildings: Floor tiling SI 2279 - Slip resistance of existing pedestrian surfaces and of new products for pedestrian surfaces 3. Terms and definitions The clause is not applicable and shall be replaced by the following: 3. Terms and definitions The following terms and definitions are valid for this Standard: 3.1 Ceramic tile A thin slab, having a full cross-section, made from clays and/or other inorganic raw materials generally used as a covering for floors and walls, usually shaped by extruding (designation "A") or dry-pressing (designation "B") at room temperature, but may be formed by other processes (designation "C"), then dried and subsequently fired at temperatures sufficient to develop the required properties. Notes: A. The tiles may be glazed (GL) or unglazed (UGL). They are incombustible and unaffected by light. B. Tiles known as "klinker" and "terracotta" are ceramic tiles. They are usually manufactured by extrusion, generally unglazed, and are classified in groups by their water absorption as specified in the Standard (see clause 4.3). (a) The Standard is in preparation. 2 SI 314 (2014) (translation of Israel national modifications and additions only) 3.2 Porcelain tile(b) A ceramic tile whose average absorption does not exceed a mass fraction of 0.5 % or its equivalent, glazed or unglazed and belonging to groups AIa or BIa. 3.3 Glaze A vitrified covering that is impermeable. 3.4 Engobed surface A clay-based covering with a matt finish which may be permeable or impermeable. Note: A tile with an engobed coating on the surface is considered an unglazed tile. 3.5 Polished surface The surface of a glazed and unglazed tile which has been given a glossy finish by mechanical polishing at the last stage of manufacture. Note: Tiles can be partially polished (referred to as lappato). 3.6 Extruded tile A tile, shaped in the plastic state in an extruder, cut into tiles of predetermined dimension and designated as group A. Note 1: This Standard sorts tiles produced by extrusion as "precision" or "natural". The sorting is dependent upon the different technical characteristics as listed in the relevant product Standards. Note 2: Extruded products are generally designated "split tiles" when double-extruded, and "quarry tiles" when single-extruded. The term "quarry tiles" only refers to extruded tiles with a water absorption coefficient of a mass fraction not exceeding 6 %. 3.7 Dry-pressed tile A tile formed from a finely milled body mixture and shaped in molds at high pressure and designated as Group B. 3.8 Water absorption The percentage of water impregnating a tile, measured in accordance with International Standard ISO 10545-3. Note: Water absorption is expressed as a percentage of dry mass. (b) These tiles are referred to by the public as "granite-porcelain tiles". 3 SI 314 (2014) (translation of Israel national modifications and additions only) 3.9 Dimensions Note: The sizes are only defined for rectangular tiles. If the sizes of non-rectangular sizes are required, they are defined by the smallest rectangle into which they fit. 3.9.1 Nominal size The size used to describe the product (see Figure 1 and Figure 2). 3.9.2 Work size(c) The size of a tile determined for manufacturing to which the actual size shall conform within specified permissible deviations (see Figure 1 and Figure 2). 3.9.3 Actual size The size obtained by measuring the face of a tile in accordance with International Standard ISO 10545-2 (see Figure 1 and Figure 2). 3.9.4 Coordinating size The work size plus the joint width (see Figure 1 and Figure 2). 3.9.5 Modular size Tile and size based on M, 2 M, 3 M and 5 M modules and also their multiples or subdivisions, except for tiles with a surface area less than 9,000 mm² (see Figure 1 and Figure 2). 3.9.6 Non-modular size A size not based on Module M (see Figure 1 and Figure 2). Note: Tiles with these size are widespread in most countries. 3.9.7 Tolerance The difference between the permissible limits of size (see Figure 1 and Figure 2). 3.10 Spacer lug A projection that is located along certain edges, so that where two tiles are placed together along these edges, the spacer lugs separating the tiles and creating a space that is not less than the indicated width of the joint (see Figure 2).
