BS EN 330:2014EN 330:2014 (E) 5 Introduction This European Standard describes a method of test for wood preservatives that are intended for use under a surface coating in timber to be exposed to the weather and out of contact with the ground (Use Class 3, EN
24、335). The main objective of the test is to evaluate the relative effectiveness of the preservative applied to jointed samples of Pinus sylvestris L sapwood by a treatment technique relevant to its intended practical use. Effectiveness is evaluated relative to a reference material. The method is conc
25、erned with protection against attack by the complete sequence of microorganisms occurring under natural conditions, including those basidiomycete fungi that eventually cause decay. It takes into account the effects of weathering (light, rain and heat) on the effectiveness of a wood preservative unde
26、r a coating. The method does not accelerate the rate of decay (see Note), however the coating failure occurs immediately at the test start, that is even sooner than in badly designed and poorly maintained joinery exposed under the same conditions. The method may be used, after modification, for othe
27、r purposes including evaluating the effectiveness of a test preservative as follows: in protecting timbers of a different wood species; under different types of coating. Since the L-joints are exposed to natural outdoor conditions during the test period, variations in test conditions from one locati
28、on to another have to be expected. Differences in climate, especially rainfall, will influence the general rate of development of decay fungi. However, by comparing the results obtained for the test preservative with those obtained with the reference material and with those for untreated, control L-
29、joints, the relative protective effectiveness of the preservative under test can be evaluated. NOTE The coating is intended to make the technique relevant to the end use albeit the test pieces are badly maintained and designed in order to accelerate the test. BS EN 330:2014EN 330:2014 (E) 6 1 Scope
30、This European Standard specifies a method for determining the relative protective effectiveness against fungal decay of a wood preservative applied to wood in combination with a subsequent surface coating, exposed to the weather and out of contact with the ground. The effectiveness is evaluated rela
31、tive to a reference wood preservative. The method is applicable to the testing of commercial or experimental preservatives applied to non-durable timbers by methods appropriate to commercial practice and subsequently coated with a specified coating system. The method is applicable to products and pr
32、ocesses used individually or in combination to prevent the development of decay in the wood. The method is also appropriate for factory finishing systems which include wood protection and wood preservation claims. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively r
33、eferenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN 1001-2, Durability of wood and wood based products - Terminology -
34、Part 2: Vocabulary EN 335, Durability of wood and wood-based products - Use classes: definitions, application to solid wood and wood-based products 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 1001-2 apply. 4 Principle Jointed samples (L-joints) ar
35、e treated, assembled, coated and placed out of contact with the ground and exposed to the normal environmental and ecological factors which affect coated wood so exposed in practice. The organisms that colonize such units invade in their natural sequence of moulds, blue stain fungi, soft rot fungi a
36、nd basidiomycetes. Colonization by basidiomycetes, as shown by the presence of visible decay, is assessed at least annually by visual inspection of the L-joints after they have been dismantled. In addition, periodically, sets of samples are examined after dismantling and sawing along the grain of th
37、e L-joint assemblies to reveal their internal condition. These data are compared with those generated using a reference material and untreated samples to assess relative performance. It is recommended that the replicates for non-destructive inspection continue to be exposed beyond the minimum 5 year
38、 period, preferably until failure. NOTE Inspection after sawing is necessary because application by processes such as double vacuum and superficial (surface) application does not result in complete penetration of the L-joint members. The untreated core of the samples, therefore, can show internal de
39、cay before it becomes visible on the surface within the joint. BS EN 330:2014EN 330:2014 (E) 7 5 Materials 5.1 End-seal compounds 5.1.1 Preservative resistant end-seal A material resistant to the penetration of the reference and test preservative solutions (or separate materials for each). 5.1.2 Wea
40、therproof end-seal A material that prevents water entry into the test specimen and remains effective for the duration of exposure of the test specimen to the weather. NOTE Two coats of an epoxy-resin / pitch compound have been found to be suitable. 5.2 Reference coating Opaque high gloss, gloss or s
41、emi-gloss solvent borne alkyd paint applied in 2 or 3 coats to give a dry film build of (50 5) m or an opaque water borne acrylic paint applied in 1 or 2 coats to give a dry film build of 110 m -120 m when measured by method 4A (microscope method) of ISO 2808. If a particular coating system is speci
42、fied by the supplier of the test preservative to be an integral part of the protection system, this shall be used in conjunction with the test preservative, instead of the reference coating. Details of the coating system used shall be given in the test report including the number of coats and the co
43、ntribution each coat makes to the coating system used, e.g. primer function. 5.3 Reference preservative Containing hexabutyldistannoxane (bis(tri-n-butyltin) oxide) as the active ingredient and with the following composition: Hexabutyldistannoxane minimum mass fraction of 1 % (mass fraction 95 % act
44、ive ingredient); Aliphatic neutral hydrocarbon resin mass fraction of 5 %; Hydrocarbon solvent mass fraction of 94 %, (distillation range 160 C to 215 C; aromatic content mass fraction 10% from the median (8.4) Dry in freely ventilated conditions (8.5.1) unless the supplier specifies otherwise Assem

47、 Annex B (informative) Information on treatment processes, reference and alternative preservatives and materials B.1 Model treatment methods B.1.1 General The following treatment methods are given for guidance and should be regarded as providing model treatment parameters; the double vacuum and dip
48、processes are those used for the reference preservative (1 % mass fraction hexabutyldistannoxane). The full-cell process would be a suitable method for the application of both alternative reference preservatives (B.2). B.1.2 Double vacuum process Initial vacuum 70 kPa for 3 min; atmospheric pressure
49、 for 3 min; final vacuum 35 kPa for 20min. B.1.3 Dip (immersion) process Total immersion for 3 min. B.1.4 Full-cell process Initial vacuum 20 kPa for 30 min; pressure 1.35 MPa for 60 min. It should be noted that there may be difficulties with grain raising, splitting and warping with high uptakes of water based preservatives. This can result in the test specimens requiring extended drying to ensure the components of the joint fit together. B.2 Alternative reference preservatives B.2.1 General Historically the reference preservati
