Quality Assurance is very important to TileClick as we realise how important quality is to our customers.
Ranges or collections where you see this stamp have been manufactured or sourced in accordance with the manufacturers guidelines below.
British Ceramic Tile manufacturer in the UK, TileClick sell their own brand of tiles ‘british ceramic tile’, as well as ‘Laura Ashley‘, ‘Tactile by Studio Conran‘ and Wet by Hemingway Design.
Not all the tiles sold under these collections are made in the UK, this is solely due to the manufacturing capabilities of at the Devon based factory. To complete these ranges with border tiles, floor tiles, porcelain tiles and some wall tiles it is necessary for british ceramic tile to import certain product lines. Therefore, these imported product lines are still checked for quality to meet not only their high manufacturing standards, but to the European standard EN14411:2006. Britsih Ceramic Tile perform only rudimentary checks on incoming product, e.g shade, dry packaging, they do not check strength, dimesnions etc as laid out in EN14411.
Below is the information on british ceramic tile quality accreditation standards that they manufacture, import and manage to:-
British Ceramic Tile has achieved re-certification for ISO 9001, and has received this certification for the latest upgrade to the ISO 9000 standards series – ISO 9001:2008. This internationally recognised standard for quality management (QM), which also necessitates re-assessments and surveillance audits, is only awarded to world-class companies that can demonstrate and verify continuing overall effectiveness in QM processes.
British Ceramic Tile was awarded the prestigious ISO 14001 certificate of conformance for reaching international standards of environmental management. This certificate specifies a framework of control for an Environmental Management System against which an organisation can be certified by a third party. This also illustrates British Ceramic Tile’s dedicated approach to responsible manufacture and improving its environmental credentials.
British Ceramic Tile is committed to sustainability and reducing its impact on the environment. It has invested £20m in creating a world class manufacturing facility, using state of the art technology designed to world leading standards of energy efficiency.
Our tiles are manufactured to stringent quality standards, which surpass the latest British (BS6431) and European (EN14411) regulations. The honeycomb back of the tile was specially developed to allow greater adhesion and the tile corners are slightly recessed underneath for easier fixing.
We have also recently been granted the licence for the Natural Colour System (NCS) for our Creative Colours range.
