2.12 Environment and health during use Ceramic is intrinsically inert, chemically stable and therefore, during the use stage, does not emit any pollutants or substances which are harmful to environment and health such as: VOCs and Radon2.13 Reference service life The service life of tiles is generally higher than 50 years / BNB 2011 /. According also to /US Green Building Council/ the service life of tiles could be as long as the life of the building itself. Therefore 60 years can be an alternative tile's life for /U.S. GBC/. The results reported consider the tile’s use of 1 year, therefore multiplying B2 values for 50 or 60, it's possible to obtain B2 values referred to 50 or 60 years. A reference-life according to / ISO 15686 / is not reported. Influences on ageing when applied in accordance with the rules of technology . 2.14 Extraordinary effectsFire According to /EN 13501-1:2007+A1:2009/, ceramic tiles can be classified as A1 class of fire resistance rating, because they do not contribute to fire.
