What to ask for in the RFQ and check when goods arrive.
- For tableware, test lead and cadmium release and check dishwasher and microwave suitability.
- For tiles, agree size calibre, shade and water absorption class (e.g. to EN ISO 10545 and EN 14411).
- Approve glaze colour on a fired sample, because kiln variation affects shade.
