This European Standard specifies two test methods (methods A and B) for the determination of crazing resistance of glazed ceramic tableware articles in contact with food with water absorption higher than 0,5 % (determined according to method C of EN 1217:1997). Method A is a test for resistance to crazing due to moisture expansion. Method B is a test for resistance to crazing due to thermal shock and is similar in most respects to EN 1183:1997.
