Description

This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of the preventive action of a wood preservative against the Reticulitermes species of European termites¹⁾ when the preservative is applied as a surface treatment to wood.

This method is applicable to:

water-insoluble chemicals which are being studied as active ingredients;
organic formulations, as supplied or as prepared in the laboratory by dilution of concentrates;
organic water-dispersible formulations as supplied or as prepared in the laboratory by dilution of concentrates; and
water-soluble materials, for example salts.

NOTE This method can be used in conjunction with an ageing procedure, for example EN 73 or EN 84.
