Scope

This document specifies a method for the determination of the preventive action of a wood preservative against the Reticulitermes species of European termites[1] 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.
