ISO International Standard

ISO/TS 17870-2:2014 defines the quality of thin ceramic tiling and provides guidance for materials selection, installation, and use, to ensure that required levels of quality and performance are achieved.

It considers all aspects related to the specification and installation of the tiling project, in terms of: manufacture and distribution of the materials (thin ceramic tiles and panels, adhesives, grouts, etc.); specification of the thin tiling; and installation of the tiling (thin tile fixing operations).

It is applicable to internal and external thin ceramic floor and wall tiling, installed by adhesive methods.
