ANFACER - National Association of Ceramic Tile Manufacturers for Floor and Wall Tiles, Sanitary Ware and the Like
This Thursday, November 12, in San José, Costa Rica, the ISO/TC 189 Technical Committee— Ceramic Tiles, which is responsible for developing and revising international standards related to ceramic tiles, began its meetings.
The meetings, which will take place on November 12 and 13, bring together experts and representatives from different countries to discuss technical and regulatory issues of interest to the global ceramics industry.
Among the main topics on the agenda is the progress of ISO/DIS 10545-25, a standard that addresses the determination of ceramic tile resistance towater reverse staining—a topic closely monitored by the Brazilian industry.
Discussions are also planned regarding the revision of ISO 13006, which establishes definitions, classification, characteristics, and marking requirements for ceramic tiles, as well as work related to mortars and grouts, large-format tiles, sustainability, slip resistance, and the carbon footprint of ceramic products.
The agenda also includes meetings of the various working groups (WGs), which are responsible for developing specific standardization projects.
Brazil's participation in this process is important for bringing the characteristics, experiences, and technical contributions of the domestic industry into the international debate, with the aim of ensuring that international standards take into account different production and technological realities.
ANFACER monitors the work of ISO/TC 189 and emphasizes the importance of Brazil’s active participation in the development of international technical standards for the ceramic tile industry.
The Brazilian ceramics industry meets all international quality standards, reaffirming its commitment to excellence, safety, innovation, and the competitiveness of its products in both domestic and international markets.
