No it is not . Take a look at IBC 1210 Grounding Material.

pletzer28,

I think that Gregg meant to say "Surrounding" material

[ RE: Section 1210 in the IBC ].

Chapt. 12 says that a smooth, hard, non-absorbent material

can be used, and that it cannot be affected by moisture.

Some have approved the use of gyp. board, in these areas,

with a laquer based, sealing type of paint, instead of the

ceramic tile [ i.e. - cheaper ].

IMO, the tile works better, and will last longer when

being cleaned on a regular basis......Your, and others

interpretations may be different.
