DIN EN 118:2014-03 EN 118:2013 (E) 4 Introduction This document describes a laboratory method of testing which gives a basis for assessment of the effectivene

22、ss of a wood preservative, when applied as a surface treatment, against the Reticulitermes species of European termites. This laboratory method provides one criterion by which the value of a product can be assessed. It is further recommended that results from this test should be supplemented by thos

23、e from other appropriate tests, and above all by comparison with practical experience. When products which are very active at low concentrations are used it is very important to take suitable precautions to isolate and separate, as far as possible, operations involving chemical products, other produ

24、cts, treated wood, laboratory apparatus and clothing. Suitable precautions should include the use of separate rooms, areas within rooms, extraction facilities, conditioning chambers and special training for personnel (see also Annex C for environmental, health and safety precautions). DIN EN 118:201

25、4-03 EN 118:2013 (E) 5 1 Scope 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

26、-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 mater

27、ials, for example salts. NOTE This method can be used in conjunction with an ageing procedure, for example EN 73 or EN 84. 2 Normative reference The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references,

28、only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN ISO 3696, Water for analytical laboratory use Specification and test methods (ISO 3696) 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the followin

29、g terms and definitions apply. 3.1 representative sample sample having its physical or chemical characteristics identical to the volumetric average characteristics of the total volume being sampled 3.2 supplier sponsor of the test (person or company providing the sample of wood preservative to be te

30、sted) 4 Principle Surface treatment of test specimens of a susceptible wood species with the preservative or, if a concentrate is being used, with known dilutions of the preservative. 1) This method can be applied not only to different species of Reticulitermes, but also to other species of the fami

31、ly Rhinotermitidae, where necessary adapting the temperature and humidity conditions and the assessment of attack to the specific behaviour of the species concerned. DINEN 118:2014-03EN 118:2013 (E) 6 Exposure of these test specimens to specified colonies of European Reticulitermes2)species and asse

32、ssment of the attack suffered after exposure under fixed conditions and over a fixed period. Comparison of these results with those obtained from untreated and solvent or diluent-treated control test specimens. 5 Test materials 5.1 Biological material Workers, soldiers and nymphs of an identified te

33、rmite species of Reticulitermes. The termite species and the locality of origin should be stated in the test report and their identification should be proved. The termites should be obtained from colonies reared as described in Annex B. 5.2 Products and reagents 5.2.1 Substrate for establishing the

34、colonies. A choice of: 5.2.1.1 Fine white quartz sand consisting of grains of crystallized silica, very pure (99,5 % silica), and free from any organic substances3). 5.2.1.2 An hydrated, laminar, aluminium-iron-magnesium silicate exfoliated to give particles of 1 mm to 3 mm with an apparent density

35、of 80 kg/ m3to 90 kg/ m3. Particles of less than 1 mm shall be eliminated by sieving prior to use, to ensure the absence of free water and prevent any significant agglomeration of the particles. 5.2.2 Adhesive, which cannot be attacked by the termites and is non-toxic, for securing the tubes. This a

36、dhesive shall also not react with the preservative applied to the wood. 5.2.3 Sealant 5.2.3.1 Paraffin wax, setting point of 52 C to 54 C, for sealing the relevant surfaces of test specimens to be treated with solutions in which water is the continuous phase. 5.2.3.2 Gelatine, for sealing the releva

37、nt surfaces of test specimens to be treated with solutions in which an organic solvent is the continuous phase. 5.2.3.3 Inert adhesive, for sealing the relevant surfaces of test specimens to be treated with other solutions in which e.g. an emulsion solvent is the continuous phase. 5.2.4 Water, compl

38、ying with grade 3 of EN ISO 3696. 5.2.5 Solvent or diluent. A suitable volatile liquid that will dissolve or dilute the preservative but does not leave a residue in the wood which would have a toxic effect on the insect at the end of the conditioning period. 5.3 Apparatus 5.3.1 Culturing chamber, wi

39、th air circulation, controlled at (26 2) C and a minimum relative humidity of (70 5) %. 2) In providing biological validation of individual species, it is essential that the locality of origin of each test termite species is given. The description of the locality should at least include the district

40、 name. 3) In France, Fontainebleau sand, of which more than 97 % of the particles are between 75 m and 300 m in size, meets these requirements. DINEN 118:2014-03EN 118:2013 (E) 7 5.3.2 Conditioning chamber, well ventilated, controlled at (20 2) C and relative humidity (65 5) %4). 5.3.3 Laboratory wo

41、rk area, well ventilated, where treatment of the test specimens is carried out5). 5.3.4 Testing chamber, protected from light, ventilated and controlled at (26 2) C and at a minimum relative humidity of (70 5) %. 5.3.5 Ordinary laboratory equipment for application by brushing or by pipette of a liqu

42、id preservative product and including an analytical balance capable of weighing to an accuracy of 0,01 g. 5.3.6 Protective gloves 5.3.7 Instruments adapted for termite manipulation (aspirator, forceps). 5.3.8 Glass tubes open at both ends, one end being ground: interior diameter: 25 mm; length: 110

43、mm. 6 Sampling The sample of preservative shall be representative of the product to be tested. Samples should be stored and handled in accordance with any written recommendations from the supplier. For the sampling of preservatives from bulk supplies, the procedure given in EN 212 should be used. 7

44、Test specimens 7.1 Species of wood The reference species is Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris Linnaeus). Additional tests can be made with other timber species but, if so, this should be stated in the test report. 7.2 Wood quality The wood shall be free from visible cracks, stain, decay, insect damage an

45、d other defects. The wood shall not have been water-stored, floated, chemically treated or steamed. The wood shall originate from trees preferably felled in winter. Wood that has been kiln dried at temperatures below 60 C may be used. The wood shall be exclusively sapwood containing little resin and

46、 having between 2,5 annual rings per 10 mm and eight annual rings per 10 mm. The proportion of latewood in the annual rings shall not exceed 30 % of the whole. It is recommended to use test specimens of similar growth rate within a single test. 4) The conditioning of test specimens after treatment i

47、s permissible in the laboratory work area (5.3.3) provided that this meets the conditions specified for the conditioning chamber (5.3.2). 5) It is essential to follow proper safety measures for handling flammable or toxic material. It is essential that operators avoid excessive exposure to solvents

48、or their vapours. DINEN 118:2014-03EN 118:2013 (E) 8 7.3 Provision of test specimens Prepare planed strips with a fine-sawn finish and having a cross-section of (50 0,5) mm x (10 0,5) mm removing a minimum of 2 mm from any surfaces exposed during drying. The longitudinal faces shall be parallel to the direction of the grain. The annual rings shall have a contact angle of (45 15) to the broad faces. Make transverse cuts, neatly to give sharp edges and a fine-sawn finish to the end grain surfaces
