Testing Tile Certification Through Trade Associations
Dale Hull of Iowa State College explains that clay and concrete tile testing is organized by manufacturers via the Iowa Concrete Drain Tile Manufacturers Association and the Structural Clay Products Institute. Certified tiles require independent strength testing and reporting to the Soil Conservation Service, which then guides installers on approved products. Hull notes certified tile costs are similar to inferior material and that last year’s high quality tile installations showed only about a one third reduction in total footage despite drought conditions.
