Ceramic floor tiles are put through abrasion resistance tests and then classified according to their ability to withstand abrasion.
High traffic areas such as public lobbies, restaurants, shopping malls, airports and other commercial sites, require tiles with a very high resistance to abrasion, much higher than what you would require in your own home.
And outdoor areas like plazas, parks and courtyards will also need tiles that are specified as frost resistant and slip resistance.

Many of the ceramic floor tiles available for the outdoors today, feature an abrasive "grit" added to the surface to assist in preventing slip.
