PD CEN/TS 12404:2015CEN/TS 12404:2015 (E) 4 Introduction This Technical Specification describes a laboratory method of test for the assessment of the effectiveness of a masonry fungicide applied to masonry for the prevention of the growth of dry rot, Serpula lacrym

21、ans (Schumacher ex Fries) S.F. Gray into wood. This laboratory method enables the determination of the concentration of a preservative within mortar which could prevent the dry rot fungus from growing through a given mortar layer treated with this preservative. PD CEN/TS 12404:2015CEN/TS 12404:2015

22、(E) 5 1 Scope This Technical Specification specifies a method for determining the performance of a preservative, applied to the upper surface of the mortar test specimens, in preventing the growth of dry rot through the treated mortar when exposed to the test fungus. This method is only applicable t

23、o masonry fungicides applied as a true solution of the preservative in water or dilute oil in water emulsion. It is not applicable to rods, pastes and other similar preservative types. This method is applicable to preservatives applied to masonry by brushing, spraying and/or injection techniques or

24、mixed into rendering and plastering mortar for masonry. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest

28、prevent the growth of dry rot through or over the treated material 3.2 performance behaviour of the preservative product in terms of its effectiveness in test 3.3 preservative formulated masonry fungicide in the form received from the supplier for the test 3.4 supplier sponsor of the test 4 Principl

29、e The preservative to be tested is applied by pipette (or in accordance with the sponsors instruction) to the upper surface of mortar test specimens. The mortar test specimens are contained in rigid tubes and an untreated wooden sample is placed on top of these mortar test specimens. The bases of th

30、e mortar specimens are exposed to dry rot attack for a given time. The assessment of the performance of the test PD CEN/TS 12404:2015CEN/TS 12404:2015 (E) 6 preservative consists of checking the growth of the fungus through the mortar and the evaluation of any attack of the wooden sample contained i

31、n the rigid tube. 5 Test materials 5.1 Test fungus 5.1.1 Obligatory test fungus Serpula lacrymans (Schumacher ex Fries) S.F.
