Properties of tableware which determine its correct description as china or porcelain viz. translucency & resistance to water absorption.

The British Standard specifies requirements for resistance to water absorption and transluency for china tableware which determine that the description is applied correctly to the product. Compliance is determined by testing a representative sample taken from a consignment.
