Quality Control

At THEVID CERAMICA, quality is not a department — it's a culture. Every tile is manufactured under internationally certified processes and passes through 14 rigorous quality checkpoints before it reaches our customers.

Our Credentials

Triple-Certified for Global Trust

THEVID CERAMICA holds three of the most rigorous international quality certifications — giving our customers the assurance that every tile meets the highest global standards.

ISO 13006

International Ceramic Tile Standard

ISO 13006 is the internationally recognised standard for ceramic tiles, covering all aspects of tile quality including dimensions, surface quality, water absorption, breaking strength, thermal shock and chemical resistance.

Dimensional accuracy — length, width, thickness, straightness

Water absorption classification (Group BIa < 0.5%)

Modulus of rupture & breaking strength minimums

Thermal shock resistance & frost resistance

Chemical resistance to domestic & pool chemicals

Surface quality grading and defect classification

CE Marking

European Conformity Certification

The CE mark confirms that THEVID CERAMICA tiles comply with all relevant European Union health, safety and environmental directives — a mandatory requirement for tiles sold in EU member states and widely accepted globally.

Compliance with EU Construction Products Regulation

Declaration of Performance (DoP) for all tile types

Resistance to slip (DCOF / R-rating for outdoor)

Release of dangerous substances compliance

Factory Production Control (FPC) audit passed

Third-party verified testing laboratory results

TUV Rheinland

Technical Safety & Quality Certification

TUV Rheinland is one of the world's most respected technical certification bodies. Our TUV certification covers quality management systems, product safety, manufacturing process controls and ongoing production audits.

Quality Management System audit & certification

Product safety and performance verification

Annual manufacturing facility inspection

Supply chain quality assessment

Documented corrective action process

Internationally recognised mark of technical trust

Our Inspection Process

14-Point Quality Inspection

Every batch of THEVID CERAMICA tiles is tested against 14 parameters before grading. Only tiles that pass every single checkpoint are classified as Grade A and approved for dispatch.

Our Testing Facility

In-House Testing Lab

Our dedicated quality testing laboratory in Morbi is equipped with industry-standard instruments for every ISO 10545 test parameter. We do not outsource quality — we own it.

Every raw material, semi-finished tile and finished product is tested in our in-house lab by trained quality technicians. Results are logged, tracked and maintained for full traceability on every production batch.

Our Grading System

How We Grade Every Tile

After the 14-point inspection, every tile is classified into one of three grades. THEVID CERAMICA ships Grade A only to all customers — no exceptions.

Grade A — Premium

Perfect in every parameter. Zero visible defects. Dimensions within ±0.5% tolerance. Water absorption below 0.5%. Colour matched within ΔE < 1.5. Full structural integrity. This is what THEVID CERAMICA ships — always.

✓ What We Ship to Customers

Grade B — Commercial

Minor surface variations or slight shade deviations that do not affect structural performance. Suitable for utility applications. THEVID CERAMICA does not dispatch Grade B under standard orders.

Not dispatched under standard orders

Grade C — Seconds

Visible defects, dimensional non-conformance or failed structural parameters. These tiles are rejected and recycled back into raw material — never sold under the THEVID CERAMICA name.

Rejected & Recycled — Never Sold
