Certiquality-UNI Mark for ceramic tiles, in compliance with EN 14411 |
For consumers, the Mark is a guarantee of quality and reliability of products, thus representing an excellent introduction towards European market. Certiquality-UNI Mark is granted and managed by Certiquality (Milan – I). Centro Ceramico is in charge of carrying out inspections and tests; substantially it is the official body for inspection activities, as well as the test laboratory.
The Technical Committee of Certiquality establishes the issue of certifications and the right of use of the Certiquality-UNI Mark for ceramic tiles, to be placed on the products and / or on their packaging as indelible print.

CEN-Keymark |
For granting the right of use of CEN-Keymark is necessary that the manufacturers have, in their production sites, a system for the quality control in agreement with some parts of the EN ISO 9001. The CEN-Keymark is the European answer to the need to have a unique certification system for the product quality. Effectively, CEN Keymark acts as a common denominator for the product certification, overcoming and replacing individual national Marks.
For ceramic tiles, Certiquality is the institute that is involved in the aspects relating to the management of certification; Centro Ceramico carries out the technical aspects about inspection, sampling and testing of the final product.
