Introduction This European Standard defines terms related to materials for non-metallic tablewar

19、e. The materials comprise three main groups: ceramics; glass and glass ceramics; and plastics. The definitions of articles in contact with foodstuffs are not dealt with as these articles are of quite different nature in the various countries and a harmonization seems to be unnecessary and not feasib

20、le. Enamelled articles are also not included because the main part of these articles is of a metallic nature. The selection of terms for definitions was governed by the needs of customs regulations. The informative annex A contains a table which summarizes some aspects of the classification of the m

21、aterials. The aim is to provide a quick survey on those characteristics which are used to distinguish the various materials. Annex B is an informative annex listing the informative documents. 1 Scope This European Standard defines terms related to certain materials for non-metallic tableware in cont

22、act with foodstuffs. It only includes those articles composed of the following materials: glass, glass ceramics, porcelain, vitreous china/vitrified tableware, stoneware, earthenware, common pottery or plastic. NOTE Main tableware articles in contact with foodstuffs are: plates, soup tureens, salad

23、bowls, vegetable dishes and trays of all kinds, from oven to tableware, coffee-pots, teapots, sugar bowls, milk jugs, beer mugs or tankards, cups, sauce-boats, fruit bowls, butter dishes, cruets, salt cellars, mustard pots, and drinking glasses. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorpor

27、geneous liquid which is then cooled to a rigid condition essentially without crystallization NOTE Different types of glasses are different in composition. In silicate glass the main constituent is silica. 3.1.2 soda-lime-silicate glass glass in which the main constituents are silica, sodium oxide an

28、d calcium oxide 3.1.3 crystal glass 1) silicate glass with an oxide content of 10 % by mass or more of the following: zinc oxide, barium oxide, lead oxide and/or potassium oxide; 2) silicate glass containing barium oxide, lead oxide, and potassium oxide; one of these oxides or the sum of all the oxi

The firing temperature is high enough to give the necessary strength to the article, which is already shap

32、ed, but lower than the temperature which is necessary to achieve complete fusion of the mixture 3.3.2 biscuit unglazed first fired ceramic ware 3.3.3 body (fired) ceramic material shaped to constitute the ware, more or less vitrified, which can be, and is generally, coated with a glaze 3.3.4 china;

33、porcelain glazed ceramic material, vitrified, impervious, white (or artificially coloured), translucent and resonant. The water absorption of the body is less than 0,5 % (determined according to method A of EN 1217:1997) china or porcelain body is made generally from kaolin (or other china clays), s

34、ilica, feldspar or feldspathic fluxes and sometimes calcium carbonate or alumina bone china is a particular type of china containing at least 35 % by mass of the fired body, or tricalcium orthophosphate, which can be introduced in the form of bone ash NOTE The definitions of “china or porcelain” giv

35、en here apply only to tableware and do not concern other applications such as technical porcelain. 3.3.5 vitrified tableware; vitreous china glazed ceramic bodies vitrified, impervious, white (or artificially coloured), slightly translucent, made of clays, silica, feldspar and sometimes alumina. The

36、 water absorption of the body is less than 0,5 % (determined according to method A of prEN 1217:1997) NOTE For vitrified tableware or vitreous china that is coloured, of high thickness and/or strengthened by alumina, translucency is not an intrinsic characteristic. 3.3.6 stoneware glazed ceramic mat

37、erial, partially, vitrified, impervious, generally naturally coloured, hard and opaque. Its body is generally made of clays, silica and flux. The water absorption of the body is less than 3 % (determined according to method A of EN 1217:1997) 3.3.7 earthenware glazed ceramic material of low vitrific

38、ation, white to cream (or artificially coloured), opaque, with a porous and fine texture. The different elements of the body (grains, pores) are 0,15 mm or less and therefore not visible to the naked eye. Its body is generally made of clays, silica, feldspar or feldspathic fluxes and/or calcium carb

39、onate. The water absorption of the body is greater than 3 % (determined according to method A of EN 1217:1997) 3.3.8 common pottery glazed ceramic material, more or less vitrified, opaque, generally naturally coloured, with more or less porous and grained texture, generally made with a mixture of cl

40、ays. Some elements of the body (grains, pores) are larger than 0,15 mm.

41、r process from molecules with a lower molecular weight or by chemical alteration of natural macromolecules silcones and other similar macromolecular compounds are also regarded as plastics. Other substances or matter can be added to macromolecular compounds NOTE This definition is taken from EC Coun

42、cil Directive 90/128/EEC 2. 3.5 glaze substance resulting from the melting or sintering of inorganic constituents and designed to form a surface layer which is fused, in one or more coats, and the firing temperature of which is higher than 5008C NOTE Glazes can be opaque or transparent. NOTE A trans

43、parent glaze, vitrified at high temperature at the same time as the final firing of body is called “couverte” in French and “Scharffeuerglasur” in German. A transparent glaze vitrified fired subsequently at a temperature lower than that used for firing the body is called “glaure” in French. 3.5.1 gl

44、azing application of a glaze on to a ceramic body 3.5.2 salt glazing glazing process which consists of throwing a salt (sodium chloride or sodium borate) into the kiln when the firing is approaching the maximum temperature for developing a glaze NOTE This process is used only occasionally.Page 5 EN

45、1900:1998 BSI 1998 3.6 decoration graphic design elements (geometric lines and shaded tones arranged usually with colour or gold or platinum) to embellish an article NOTE Decoration can be applied: a) under the glaze by application to the biscuit or clayware, covered with glaze and then fired; b) on

46、 the glaze, or on the unglazed surface; c) in the glaze by applying the decoration on the glazed area and then firing at a temperature above the softening point of the glaze so that the decoration sinks into the glaze layer. 3.7 properties 3.7.1 water absorption of ceramic quantity of water that can

47、 be absorbed by the body of a ceramic ware. For customs requirements this characteristic is measured in accordance with method A of EN 1217:1997 3.7.2 translucency ability to transmit incident light.
