Pressed ceramic tiles are a staple in modern construction and interior design, known for their aesthetic appeal, durability, and versatility. However, in a market flooded with options, ensuring the quality, safety, and reliability of ceramic tiles becomes a critical concern for manufacturers, suppliers, and end-users. That’s where BIS for Pressed Ceramic Tiles  IS 15622:2017 steps in — a mark of certified excellence that guarantees the tiles you use meet the highest national standards. At EVTL India, we help businesses navigate the compliance landscape, securing the coveted ISI mark for their pressed ceramic tiles in accordance with IS 15622:2017. With our expertise and end-to-end certification support, your product isn't just made — it’s certified to excel.

What is IS 15622:2017?

IS 15622:2017 is the Indian Standard established by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) for Pressed Ceramic Tiles. This standard outlines the performance requirements, test methods, classifications, and marking specifications for ceramic tiles that are dry-pressed and used in walls, floors, and facades.

The standard covers multiple key aspects, including:

• Dimensions and Surface Quality

• Water Absorption Rates

• Breaking Strength and Modulus of Rupture

• Resistance to Chemicals and Stains

• Thermal Shock Resistance

• Frost Resistance (for exterior applications)
  
  

Tiles that meet these criteria ensure not only visual appeal but also functional durability, safety, and long-term performance.

Why BIS Certification Matters

Having your pressed ceramic tiles certified by BIS and marked with the ISI logo is more than a regulatory requirement — it’s a strategic quality promise. Certification under IS 15622:2017 validates that the tiles have been tested under rigorous standards, providing confidence to builders, architects, retailers, and consumers.

Key Benefits of BIS Certification for Ceramic Tiles:

1. Quality Assurance:
   Certification ensures that each tile batch adheres to standardised quality parameters, reducing inconsistencies and customer complaints.
   
   

2. Market Access:
   BIS certification is mandatory for ceramic tiles sold in the Indian market. Compliance opens doors to public and private sector projects and retail chains.
   
   

3. Consumer Trust:
   The ISI mark is recognized across India as a hallmark of reliability. Customers actively seek certified tiles for residential and commercial use.
