Another standard that provides information on scratch resistance is the MOHS standard. This standard classifies tiles from 1 to 10. The higher the tile's ranking (between 8 and 10), the less it can be scratched. The last very useful standard to make your choice is the UPEC classification. Very complete, this classification provides information on several points:

• The U stands for Wear,
• The P is the punching index (heels of shoes, feet of furniture, etc.),
• The E is the porosity index (water and other liquids)
• C is the chemical resistance index.

Each of these 4 letters gives a score from 1 to 4, which helps a lot depending on the criteria you need to choose the tile for the room.
