VISUAL ASSESSMENT CABINET / VIEWING CABINET- BIS 13630 AZA1263
The AZA1263 Visual Assessment Cabinet is a precision-engineered viewing enclosure designed for accurate and standardized visual inspection of ceramic tiles in accordance with ISO 10545-7 and BIS 13630 (Part-XI). It provides a controlled lighting and observation environment, ensuring objective, repeatable, and distortion-free visual evaluations of tile surface quality, color uniformity, glaze defects, and overall appearance.
This cabinet is widely used in ceramic tile manufacturing plants, quality control laboratories, certification bodies, research institutes, and testing agencies, where compliance with international and national standards is mandatory.
Description
Purpose & Function
Visual assessment of ceramic tiles must be carried out under strictly controlled illumination and background conditions to avoid subjective interpretation and color distortion. The AZA1263 ensures that each tile is examined under standardized lighting geometry, intensity, and color temperature, as defined by relevant testing standards.
The cabinet features a vertically positioned fluorescent light source, carefully screened to avoid direct glare, and delivers a uniform illuminance of 300 lux across the inspection surface. The interior surfaces are finished in neutral grey, eliminating reflections and ensuring accurate perception of color and surface defects.
