BS EN 47:2016EN 47:2016 (E) 4 Introduction This do
18、cument describes a laboratory method of testing which gives a basis for the general assessment of the effectiveness of a wood preservative against Hylotrupes bajulus by determination and comparison with different classes of larvae, of the concentration at which the product prevents their survival in
19、 totally impregnated wood of a susceptible species. In this respect it differs from the method specified in EN 46-1 which is intended to determine whether a preservative applied to the surface is capable of preventing infestation of wood by these larvae. This laboratory method provides a criterion b
20、y which the value of a preservative can be assessed. In making this assessment the methods by which the preservative may be applied should be taken into account. It is further recommended that results from this test should be supplemented by those from other appropriate tests and, above all, by comp
21、arison with practical experience. When products which are very active at very low concentration are used, it is very important to take suitable precautions to isolate and separate, as far as possible, operations involving chemical products, other products, treated wood, laboratory apparatus and clot
22、hing. Suitable precautions should include the use of separate rooms, areas within rooms, extraction facilities, conditioning chambers and special training for personnel (see also Annex D for environmental, health and safety precautions). BS EN 47:2016EN 47:2016 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard s
23、pecifies a method for the determination of the toxic values of a wood preservative against the larvae of Hylotrupes bajulus (Linnaeus), introduced into wood treated previously by full impregnation. This method is applicable to: water-insoluble chemicals which are being studied as active insecticides
24、; 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 materials, for example salts. The method is applicable whether or not t
25、he test specimens have been subjected to appropriate ageing procedures. 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, only the edition cited applies. For undated referen
26、ces, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

28、 Adapted from EN 10012:2005, 4.83. 4 Principle Impregnation of several sets of test specimens of susceptible wood species with a series of concentrations of the preservative. Introduction of Hylotrupes bajulus larvae of a given category into these test specimens and determination of their survival r
29、ate at fixed intervals of time. BS EN 47:2016EN 47:2016 (E) 6 Comparison of the results with those obtained with untreated and solvent or diluent-treated control test specimens. Derivation of the toxic values of the product under test for the category of larvae in question. 5 Test materials 5.1 Biol
30、ogical material 5.1.1 Hylotrupes bajulus (Linnaeus) larvae Category 1 (obligatory test): larvae within a maximum of 3 days of hatching; Category 2 (optional additional test): larvae with masses in the range 50 mg to 150 mg. 5.1.2 Source of larvae The larvae shall preferably be obtained from cultures
31、 reared according to the method described in Annex B. Otherwise larvae in Category 2 can be taken from naturally infested wood, in which case they should be transferred into sapwood of pine and stored for at least 4 weeks under the rearing conditions specified in Annex B. Do not use the larvae in th
32、e test if they have not fed normally during this storage period. 5.1.3 Provision of larvae Collect larvae in Category 1 from eggs laid by different females. Carefully cut out the larvae in Category 2 from the culture blocks and keep them separated from one another for 2 days to 3 days in the culturi
33、ng chamber (5.3.1) to check that they are healthy. 5.1.4 Choice of larvae in Category 2 Use only healthy larvae in the test. NOTE A healthy larva can be recognized by its ivory-white colour, its firm consistency and rounded appearance, and by the absence of wounds or bites which show up as dark mark
34、s. Healthy larvae react to the touch by vigorous movement and attempts to bite. Reject any larvae which are shrunken or aged, which have recently moulted, or which are in a pre-pupal stage. 5.1.5 Number of larvae The number of larvae per treated and control test specimen shall be six of Category 1 o
35、r one of Category 2. Sort the larvae retained in Category 2 mentioned above. Do not use larvae weighing more than 150 mg as they may pupate and therefore interfere with the test. For a single test, use a mixed batch of larvae of Category 1 and for Category 2, as far as possible, use larvae of simila
36、r masses. The number of larvae necessary is given in Table 1.
