Chequered Cement Concrete Tile Testing

Chequered Cement Concrete Tile Testing
(IS 1237 — Anti-Skid Chequered Tiles)

Mechanical testing of chequered cement concrete tiles — verifying transverse strength, water absorption, abrasion resistance, skid resistance and dimensional accuracy per IS 1237 for staircase and outdoor use.

Overview

What is the Chequered Cement Concrete Tile Testing?

Chequered Cement Concrete Tiles are anti-skid floor tiles with a raised pattern (chequer, diamond or coin) moulded into the top surface — providing slip resistance for staircases, platforms, factory floors, bus stands, railway platforms and outdoor pavements. They are tested per IS 1237 with additional skid resistance verification.

At Global Lab, chequered tile testing covers all IS 1237 requirements — transverse breaking strength, water absorption, abrasion resistance, dimensional tolerances — plus specific anti-skid pattern assessment. Results confirm suitability for wet areas, outdoor applications and industrial facilities where slip resistance is a safety requirement.

IS 1237 Compliance

All standard IS 1237 mechanical tests conducted plus pattern assessment.

Skid Resistance Assessment

Surface profile and chequer pattern depth measured for anti-skid effectiveness.

Transverse Breaking Strength

Minimum 2000N per IS 1237 — same as standard cement tile.

Water Absorption ≤10%

Critical for outdoor and wet area anti-skid tile applications.

NABL Certified Reports

All results on NABL-accredited letterhead with IS 1237 compliance.

Outdoor & Wet Area Focus

All testing oriented to verify suitability for outdoor and wet conditions.
