Hi Arnoldas,
There is a list of approved rubber on the ITTF website. This gives you a comprehensive list of all the rubbers that are approved.
Go to http://www.ittf.com/_front_page/ittf1.asp?category=rubber where they have their list.
It is important to check this before you purchase a rubber. You will notice that there are literally hundreds of approved rubbers.

The thickness of a table tennis table is the most important aspect of a table to ensure you get a true consistent bounce. Other things to consider are the net, portability, and storage space.

Can't just see the ITTF logo on my rubber
Hi Yasir,
Unfortunately no, because sometimes the rubber is later banned after it is manufactured. It is OK in 99% of cases but not always. In International matches the umpire will check for the logo but if they don't know the rubber from before, they will also have the list of rubbers there to check it. The other thing to check is the type of sponge with it. The rubber are approved specifically with a type of sponge that can't be altered.
