NOTE For the sampling of preservatives from bulk supplies, the procedure given in EN 212 should be used. 7 Test specimens 7.1 Species of wood The following species shall be used for the test Scots pine (fin

17、us sylvestris Linnaeus) for products intended to be used on softwoods ; beech (Fagus sylvatica Linnaeus) for products intended to be used on hardwoods. NOTE Additional tests may be carried out using other species but, if so, this should be stated in the test report. 7.2 Wood quality The wood shall b

18、e free from cracks, stain, decay, insect damage and other defects. The wood shall not have been water-stored, floated, chemically treated or steamed. NOTE Wood that has been kiln dried at temperatures below 60 “C may be used. The Scots pine shall be exclusively sapwood containing little resin and ha

19、ving between 2,5 annual growth rings per 10 mm and eight annual growth rings per 10 mm. The proportion of latewood in the annual rings shall not exceed 30 % of the whole. The beech shall be even-grained, free from tyloses and discolouration. It shall have between two annual growth rings per 10 mm an

20、d six annual growth rings per 10 mm. 7.3 Provision of test specimens Condition the wood to (12 I 2) % (mh) moisture content. Prepare planed strips having a cross-section of (IO I 0,l) mm (5 I 0,l) mm. The longitudinal faces shall be parallel to the direction of the grain. The annual rings Page 8 ENV

21、 807:2001 shall have a contact angle of (90 I 15) O to the broad faces. Make transverse cuts, neatly to give sharp edges and a fine-sawn finish to the end-grain surfaces, to give test specimens (100 I 1) mm long. The specimens shall originate from a minimum of three trees or shall be taken from a st

22、ock of more than 500 specimens and originating from at least five planks. NOTE A moisture meter of the two pronged electrical conductivity type is suitable for assessing moisture content. 7.4 Dimensions and density of specimens The dimensions of each test specimen at (12 I 2) % (m/m) moisture conten

23、t shall be (100 I 1) mm (IO I 0,l) mm (5 f 0,l) mm. For the purposes of calculating the density of the specimens (8.1 .I) and the mass of preservative retained per unit volume of wood (8.1.3), the nominal volume of each test specimen shall be taken as 5,O cm3. In any batch of specimens, the mass of

24、an individual is permitted to differ from the mean value of the batch by f 10(m/m). 7.5 Number and distribution of test specimens The test specimens are divided into s1 treated test specimens. sl,l test specimens treated with the test preservative: these are impregnated with the solutions of the tes

25、t preservative (clause 6) and subjected to attack by the micro-organisms in the soil. Use at least six test specimens for each combination of test preservative concentration, species of wood and exposure period (8.3.1). s1 ,2 test specimens treated with the reference preservative: these specimens ar

26、e impregnated with the solutions of the reference preservative (5.2.2) and subjected to attack by the micro-organisms in the soil. Use at least six test specimens for each combination of reference preservative concentration, species of wood and exposure period. s2 untreated test specimens s2,1 virul

27、ence control specimens : these specimens are not treated, they are of the same species of wood as the treated test specimens, and are subjected to attack by the micro-organisms in the soil. They are used to provide a measure of comparability between tests. Use three virulence control specimens for e

28、ach test container. NOTE 1 The virulence control specimens are assessed after 16 weeks exposure. s2,2 moisture monitoring specimens : these specimens are not treated, they are of the same wood species as the treated test specimens and are planted in the soil to assess that the moisture content level

29、 established in the test specimens is adequate to support active fungal attack. Use three moisture monitoring specimens for each test container. NOTE 2 If the test is to be carried out in eight test containers of the type described in annex D (four containers for Scots pine specimens and four contai

30、ners for beech specimens, (see 8.2.2), each of these containers would require three replicates of the virulence control specimens and three replicates of the moisture monitoring specimens of the appropriate species of wood; this gives a total of 12 virulence control specimens and 12 moisture monitor

31、ing specimens per species of wood. With smaller test containers, lower numbers of replicates are acceptable but each test container should contain at least one replicate virulence control specimen and one moisture monitoring specimen. s3 treated check test specimens for calculation of the correction

32、 values. 3.1 check test specimens treated with the test preservative: these are test specimens treated in exactly the same way as the sl., test specimens, except that after drying, conditioning and leaching, they are allowed to dry fully and are not planted in the soil. Use at least four specimens f

33、or each combination Page 9 ENV 807:2001 of tests preservative concentration and species of wood. Variations in the mass of these specimens make it possible to determine the correction value (CI ) for the variations in mass of the treated test specimens s, resulting from factors other than attack by

34、the soil inhabiting micro-organisms. At a given treating solution concentration, the correction value CI is the mean percentage change in mass of the 3.1 test specimens. 3.2 check test specimens treated with the reference preservative: these are test specimens treated in exactly the same way as the

35、s1,2 test specimens, except that after drying, conditioning and leaching, they are allowed to dry fully and are not planted in the soil. Use at least four specimens for each combination of reference preservative concentration and species of wood. Variations in the mass of these specimens make it pos

36、sible to determine the correction value (C,) for the variations in mass of the reference preservative treated test specimens s1 ,2 resulting from factors other than attack by the soil inhabiting micro-organisms. At a given treating solution concentration, the correction value C2 is the mean percenta

37、ge change in mass of the s3,2 test specimens. Mark each test specimen so that it can be identified throughout the test. NOTE 3 having more than the permitted variation in the quantity of product absorbed (8.1.3). It is advisable to treat more specimens than the minimum number required to allow the r

38、ejection of specimens 8 Procedures 8.1 Preparation of test specimens 8.1 .I Conditioning of specimens before treatment Place the numbered test specimens in the oven (5.3.2) and leave them there for 18 h to 24 h 2). Cool to room temperature in a desiccator (5.3.3) and weigh to the nearest 0,001 g to

39、determine the initial dry mass (mo). Replace the test specimens in the desiccator and store them there in order to keep them dry until impregnation. Calculate the mean density of the specimens of each species using the mean mass and the nominal volume (see 7.4). 8.1.2 Preparation of treatment soluti

40、ons Prepare a series of solutions of at least three concentrations (expressed as % (m/m) of the test preservative (clause 6) in the appropriate solvent or diluent (5.2.1). A solvent or diluent control, that is treatment at concentration O. shall also be included. NOTE 1 It is preferable to use at le

41、ast five concentrations of the test preservative except when there is prior experience of the petformance of the test preservative in the test. It is normal for the treating solution concentrations to be arranged in a geometric or arithmetic progression. NOTE 2 The selection of the treating solution

42、 concentrations (and therefore retentions) of the test preservative should be made giving consideration to the petformance of the reference preservative in the test and the method of calculation of the results (see annex E). It is also necessary to include a retention of the test preservative which

43、fails in the test before the reference preservative fails, to be able to calculate accurately the nominal effective retention of the test preservative (see clause IO). With beech test specimens, the retentions in the test specimens will normally be ranged about the likely retention to be effective i

44、n practice. However, with Scots pine sapwood test specimens, the retentions in the test specimens should be over a range which is much lower than the likely retention to be effective in practice. This is because of the good performance of wood preservatives in this species of wood in laboratory test

45、s and is exemplified by the selection of the treating solution con centrat ions for the reference preservative. Prepare the reference preservative (5.2.2) at the following concentrations in water : In the case of supplementary tests (7.1) using species of wood other than Scots pine sapwood or beech,

46、 this drying time may need to be longer than 18 h to 24 h; the drying time should be such that the test specimens achieve constant mass. This can be established by selecting at random from the batch being dried 10 test specimens; after drying and cooling as directed, determine the total mass, return

47、 the specimens to the oven and repeat the operation at intervals of not less than 4 h ; constant mass is achieved when the total mass of the selected specimens does not lose more than 0,05 g between weighings. Page 10 ENV 807:2001 Scots pine: 0,l % - 0,16 % - 0,25 % - 0,4 % (m/m) ; beech: 1 ,O % - 1

48、,6 % - 2,5 % - 4,O % (m/m). All treatment solutions shall be freshly prepared. 8.1.3 Impregnation Carry out impregnation of the sets of test specimens with the test preservative solutions in ascending order of concentration starting with the solvent control (concentration = O). Using clean equipment

49、, impregnate the appropriate sets of test specimens with the reference preservative, again in ascending order of concentration. The following procedure ensures the required complete impregnation of test specimens by the test solutions. For each solution place the test specimens, kept dry as described in 8.1.1 and of known mass mo, in one of the treatment vessels (5.3.4) so that as much of their surface as possible is exposed (for example, by stacking them crosswise). Ballast the stack of specimens with the weights (5.3.5) using the plastics mesh (5.3.6) if necessary, to prevent them
