Overview of Bricks, Blocks & Tiles Testing

Tested by: NABL-accredited partner lab
Regulation: IS 1077, IS 2185, IS 15658
Typical turnaround: 5–7 working days
Sample needed: 10–20 units per lot

Masonry units are accepted on compressive strength, water absorption, efflorescence and dimensions. Clay bricks follow IS 1077 with tests in IS 3495, fly ash bricks IS 12894, and concrete and autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) blocks the IS 2185 series, where density and drying shrinkage also matter. Interlocking paver blocks for roads and yards follow IS 15658.

Ceramic and vitrified tiles are tested for water absorption, breaking strength, abrasion resistance and dimensional accuracy. Manufacturers use results to support tenders and BIS licences where they apply, and builders and architects to approve a supplier before bulk orders.

What the lab tests

Parameter	Why it is checked
Compressive strength	Class or grade of the unit
Water absorption	Durability and plaster bond
Efflorescence	Salt deposits on clay bricks

The final list depends on your product, its standard and the purpose of testing. We confirm it with you before the sample goes to the lab.

Frequently asked questions

How many bricks are needed for a test?

Standards specify a sample of units for each property, typically 10 to 20 per lot drawn at random. We tell you the exact number for your product before collection.

Which standard is the product tested against?

The Indian Standard, international standard or buyer specification that applies to your product and market. We confirm it with you before testing, and the report states the method used for each parameter.

Who carries out the testing?

Instacertify’s partner laboratories, accredited by NABL to ISO/IEC 17025 for the parameters on your report. We choose the lab, arrange the sample, follow up until the report is issued and explain the results to you.
