2、 authority of the Standards Policy and Strategy Committee on 17 February 2004 BSI 17 February 2004 ISBN 0 580 43448 6 National foreword This Draft for Development is the official English language version of CEN/TS 12037:2003 and supersedes DD ENV 12037:1996. This publication is not to be regarded as
3、 a British Standard. It is being issued in the Draft for Development series of publications and is of a provisional nature because there is insufficient experience in use of the test method. It should be applied on this provisional basis, so that information and experience of its practical applicati
4、on may be obtained. Comments arising from the use of this Draft for Development are requested so that UK experience can be reported to the European organization responsible for its conversion to a European standard. A review of this publication will be initiated 2 years after its publication by the
5、European organization so that a decision can be taken on its status at the end of its 3-year life. Notification of the start of the review period will be made in an announcement in the appropriate issue of Update Standards. According to the replies received by the end of the review period, the respo
6、nsible BSI Committee will decide whether to support the conversion into a European standard, to extend the life of the Technical Specification or to withdraw it. Comments should be sent in writing to the Secretary of BSI Technical Committee B/515, Wood preservation, at British Standards House, 389 C
