BS EN 49-2:2005 Wood preservatives - Determination of the protective effectiveness against Anobium punctatum (De Geer) by egg-laying and larval survival - Application by impregnation (laboratory method)
This document specifies a method for the determination of the protective effectiveness or the toxic values of a wood preservative against Anobium punctatum (De Geer) by egg-laying and larval survival in wood which has been treated previously by full impregnation. This method is applicable to:
— water-insoluble chemicals which are being studied as active insecticides;
— 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.
NOTE This method may be used in conjunction with an ageing procedure, for example EN 73.
