Durability of wood and wood-based products. Efficacy criteria for curative wood preservatives as determined by biological tests
木材和木质产品的耐久性 通过生物试验确定的治疗性木材防腐剂的功效标准
This document specifies the minimum performance requirements in biological tests for products for curative uses against specific wood destroying organisms. It specifies the biological tests required together with the efficacy criteria to be achieved in each test.
Chemicals against insects can act according to their specific properties within a short time (fast acting) or only after a long period (slow acting or with a deferred effect). Different tests and efficacy requirements are needed for these various types of curative wood preservatives.
This document is applicable to all wood preservative products supplied for application in liquid form for curative uses against attack by wood boring beetles. This document is also applicable for products applied to prevent the growth of the dry rot fungus through masonry.
This document is also applicable to products for curative uses supplied for application as pastes, solids or in capsule form but only where appropriate biological methods of test exist as published European Standards.Cross References:CEN/TS 12404EN 370EN 48EN 1390EN 599-1:2009+A1:2013EN 22:1974CEN/TR 15003:2012EN ISO/IEC 17025EN 273:1992EN 599-2:2016All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
