| BSI | 2016 | 26 |
This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of the protective effectiveness or the toxic values of a wood preservative against infestation by Anobium punctatum (De Geer) when the product is applied as a surface treatment to wood.
This method is applicable to:
-
water-insoluble chemicals that are being studied as active insecticides;
-
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;
-
water-soluble materials, for example salts.
This method may be used in conjunction with an ageing procedure, for example EN 73 .
