Standards, certificates
and what we will not claim
Most supplier pages in this category quote a standard number and a table of impressive values with no report behind them. This page does the opposite: it lists the standards an importer can actually check, explains how the Chinese and European systems relate, and states plainly which certificates we do not hold.

Export document set
No unverifiable claims
Read this first. We are a manufacturer in Jinan, China. We do not hold CE marking, an EN 12004 declaration of performance, a REACH registration number, or an ISO system certificate, and this site does not say otherwise. We also do not publish customer counts, export-country counts or annual capacity. What we can do is supply a batch-linked certificate, a technical data sheet, a safety data sheet and the commercial documents listed below — and tell you before production when a requirement needs a third party.
Standard families
Two systems, one "R" class
The short version: both systems put reaction-resin adhesives in an R class and judge them largely by shear bond strength. They are related by adoption, not interchangeable as certificates.
| Reference | What it covers | What a buyer should check |
|---|---|---|
| JC/T 547-2017 Ceramic tile adhesives, type R | Chinese industry standard. Type R = reactive resin. Shear bond strength limit 2.0 MPa or above, plus immersion, open-time and thermal-shock items for the R2 grade. | The report's standard version, declared type (C / D / R), test items, batch number and issuing laboratory. Its scope is adhesives for installing tiles, so check how the commissioned use is described on an injection-repair report. |
| JC/T 547-2026, effective 2026-12-01 | Published 2026-06-01; replaces the 2017 edition on that date. | After 2026-12-01, a newly issued report should name the new version. Ask which edition your report was tested against. |
| GB 18583-2008 and GB 33372-2020 | Two separate Chinese limits: one for specific harmful substances, one for total VOC content. | A complete environmental report normally groups both. A VOC figure alone is not a full harmful-substance report. |
| GB/T 12954.1-2008 · GB 50210-2018 | Test method for ceramic tile adhesives, and the acceptance code for finished decorative work. | The method standard should appear alongside the product standard. Acceptance thresholds for tile work come from the code and contract governing the project, not from a supplier page. |
| EN 12004 / ISO 13007-1 · ISO 13007-2 | The European / international classification most overseas buyers know: C cementitious, D dispersion, R reaction resin. R1 requires shear strength of at least 2 N/mm² dry and after water immersion; R2 adds thermal shock at the same level. | JC/T 547-2017 was developed by modified adoption (MOD) of ISO 13007-1:2010 and ISO 13007-2:2013, with an annex mapping the clauses. MOD is not "identical", and a Chinese report is not an EN 12004 declaration of performance or CE marking. |

Reading a report
Six things to look for in a test report
Declared type
C, D or R. Compression strength on an R-type product answers a question nobody asked; shear bond strength is the R-family metric.
Test items
Initial shear, after immersion, open time, and thermal shock for the improved grade. Missing items are as informative as low numbers.
Sample and batch
A report should be traceable to a sample or batch. Ask how the shipped batch relates to the tested one.
Laboratory
Name, report number, date and scope of accreditation. A screenshot of a results table without an issuing body is not a report.
Commissioned use
Tile installation versus post-installation void injection are different applications. Confirm what the client asked the lab to test.
Why our product page has no viscosity or strength table. Those values belong to a specific tested batch. Publishing one fixed number would be a promise for every future batch. We state the measured values on the batch certificate that ships with the order, and can send the current sheet before you specify.
Documents
What ships, what is on request, what is yours to confirm
| Group | Document | Note |
|---|---|---|
| With every shipment | Commercial invoice | Aligned with the order, Incoterm and declared values |
| With every shipment | Packing list | Carton count, net and gross weight, marks |
| With every shipment | Batch certificate (COA) | Tied to that production record; carries the measured values |
| With every shipment | Technical data sheet | Also available in advance for specification |
| On request | Safety data sheet (SDS) | Needed by most carriers for a chemical consignment |
| On request | Certificate of origin | Form depends on destination and trade arrangements |
| On request | Transport condition assessment | Used to determine how the consignment is declared |
| When classified as dangerous | Dangerous-goods packaging certificate and GHS labels | Prepared for the specific order, packaging and route |
| Buyer confirms | HS classification, import controls, local labelling | Your broker or market regulator decides what is required at destination |
| Buyer confirms | Third-party test report, registration or local-language label | Tell us before production, not after the goods are packed |
Why we do not promise "general cargo"
A two-component epoxy product may be classified as dangerous goods depending on flash point, formulation, packaging and route. The SDS and a transport condition assessment decide that, and the carrier has the final say on acceptance. We will tell you how the consignment is declared so your forwarder can check before booking.
Why no HS code is printed here
Classification follows the exact product form and the tariff rules of the destination. Guessing it on a website creates a document your broker cannot defend. We supply composition and declared values, and your broker confirms the code and any import licence.
Before production
Six things to send with your enquiry
Destination
Country, port or door, and who the importer of record is.
Document list
Exactly what your broker or regulator will ask for, in writing.
Label language
And any GHS or market-specific pictogram requirements.
Specification
Grade, packaging size, mix ratio and artwork, if private label.
Intended use
Floor, wall, wet area, heated floor or stone — it changes the grade.
Timing
When the material is needed on site; production and transit are separate clocks.
Commercial terms belong in the quotation. MOQ, production lead time, port of loading, payment terms and HS classification are confirmed in writing against your enquiry. We do not print figures that depend on grade, packaging and destination — see ordering and shipping for what we need in order to quote.

Questions
Compliance questions we get by email
Do you hold EN 12004 certification or CE marking?
No, and we do not describe our product as if we did. JC/T 547-2017 was developed by modified adoption of ISO 13007-1:2010 and ISO 13007-2:2013, so the families are related — but a Chinese report is not an EN 12004 declaration of performance or a CE mark. If your market requires either, it needs its own assessment and is agreed before production.
Which test data will I actually receive?
A batch certificate (COA) tied to that production record with the measured values for that batch, plus the technical data sheet and the declared standard version. We do not publish fixed viscosity or bond strength figures on the website. Ask for the current sheet before you write a specification.
Can you supply an SDS and dangerous-goods documents?
A safety data sheet is available on request and a transport condition assessment can be arranged. A two-component epoxy consignment may be classified as dangerous goods depending on flash point, packaging and route; that classification follows the SDS and the assessment, not a statement on a website.
What is the HS code?
We do not publish one. Classification depends on the exact formulation, packaging and the tariff rules of the destination, and your broker is the party who defends it at import. Tell us which documents your broker needs and we will provide composition and declared values to support it.
Why are MOQ, lead time and payment terms not listed?
They depend on grade, packaging volume, artwork, destination and freight conditions. A figure printed here would be wrong by the time the freight market moves. All four are quoted in writing against your enquiry, alongside the document set and the specification.
