Technical excellence of our building products

For generations, brick and tile manufacturers have continually improved the technical
properties of their products. Today, this process is achieved in accordance with European
Standards.
The characteristics and performance requirements for masonry units manufactured from clay
for use in masonry construction are specified in the European standard EN 771-1.
This Standard is linked with test methods for masonry units: EN 772.
The product definitions and specifications for clay roofing tiles for discontinuous laying
are specified in the European standard EN 1304.
The European standard EN 1344 specifies the requirements for pavers.
A product standard for beam-and-blocks floor systems exists as draft prEN 15037.
These standards will ensure the high level quality control in the manufacture of the clay
building products will be maintained. The introduction of CE marking will confirm that
these product fulfil the essential requirements of the European Building Product
Directive.
