Consumer Product Quality Grading: 5A, the Highest Ceramic Tile Grade

The introduction of the national Consumer Product Quality Grading for Ceramic Tiles standard marks a move beyond a simple pass/fail approach towards finer 5A–3A quality distinctions and competition based on performance.

As a high-end wood-effect tile brand, KT responded proactively to manufacturing upgrades. It has been upgrading products, production equipment, raw materials, glazes, quality standards, grading inspection equipment and process stability controls.

In November 2025, KT achieved 5A certification, using its technical capabilities to establish a quality benchmark and support higher standards in wood-effect tiles.

5A Tiles: The Highest Quality Grade

Understanding 5A: What Does the Standard Mean? As the highest tile quality grade under the new national standard, 5A sets exceptionally demanding requirements:

Compliance across 10 core indicators, covering dimensional accuracy, wear and stain resistance, radioactivity requirements and other performance measures.

5A assesses more than an individual product. Manufacturers must demonstrate the ability to consistently produce high-quality products across the whole process, from raw material proportions and intelligent firing to quality testing and after-sales service. KT sees this standardised system as part of its responsibility to advance quality in high-end wood-effect tiles.
