Hi all, have just bought 30m each of ceramic floor and wall tiles. Only really wanted the floor tiles but 'job lot'. Now found they are all wall tiles! They are rocersa ceramica, 12" x 18", breaking strength >600N. Do you think they can be used as floor tiles?

If the company says it's a wall tile, then it's a wall tile.

I'm not sure how low a breaking strength 600N is, but there's more to the clarification of wall and floor tiles than just that.

That tile is probably made with a soft & porous bisque. The surface texture is probably too smooth for floors. The glaze is too soft for floors.

I wasn't able to find much on your tile, because you didn't identify it. But I believe the manufacturer, you've got the wrong tile.
