Tile Standards in Iran
Introduction (English)
Ceramic and porcelain tiles are an essential part of the construction industry in Iran. The durability and aesthetics of tile installations are guaranteed only when manufacturing and installation are carried out according to Iranian National Standards (ISIRI) and their international equivalents (European EN/ISO and American ANSI/ASTM standards).
Main Iranian Standards (English)
ISIRI 25: Ceramic tiles (equivalent to EN 14411)
ISIRI 12468: Porcelain tiles (equivalent to EN ISO 10545)
ISIRI 15102: Tile adhesives (equivalent to EN 12004 + ISO 13007)
ISIRI 15103: Tile grouts (equivalent to EN 13888)
ISIRI 15104: Mechanical strength of tiles (equivalent to EN ISO 10545-4)
ISIRI 14880: Water absorption test (equivalent to EN ISO 10545-3)
ISIRI 15832: Tile installation (equivalent to ANSI A108 and European guidelines)
