Introduction This Part of EN 599 is one of a series and should be used in conjunction with EN 599-2, with EN 335-1 and EN 335- 2 which describe the service conditions for treated wood in terms of hazard classes, and with EN 351-1 which describes a classification system for preservative treated wood in terms of preservative penetration and gives guidance on classes for retentions. The need for wood preservatives depends in part on the natural durability of the wood and therefore this Part of EN 599 should be used also in conjunction with EN 350-1, EN 350-2 and EN 460. 1 Scope This Part of EN 599 specifies for each of the five hazard classes defined in EN 335-1, the minimum performance requirements for wood preservatives for the preventive treatment of solid timber against biological deterioration. It specifies the biological tests with the minimum ageing tests required according to the hazard class, together with the performance criteria to be achieved in each test. This Part of EN 599 is applicable to all wood preservative products supplied for application in liquid form for the preventive treatment of timbers (structural and non-structural) against wood-attacking fungi, wood-attacking insects and marine borers as described in HD 1001 and EN 335-1. However it is only applicable to products for preventive treatments against fungi causing disfigurement (blue stain) of wood in service if this forms part of the overall preventive effectiveness of the product. This Part of EN 599 is not applicable to wood preservative products supplied for application as pastes, solids or in capsule form because they cannot be tested without modification of the biological tests demanded in this standard. It does not apply either to wood preservative products for remedial (curative) treatments, to those applied to prevent fungi causing sap stain on green (unseasoned) timber or to those applied solely to prevent fungi causing disfigurement (blue stain) of wood in service. NOTE 1. The nature of the laboratory and field tests required in this Part of EN 599 to demonstrate performance of a wood preservative are such that the time required to generate the data is many months or years, depending upon the properties of the wood preservative and the hazard class in which the treated wood is to be exposed. Therefore, at the date of publication of this Part of EN 599, for many products covered under its scope already placed on the market and used lawfully in accordance with local technical traditions, the minimum data specified in this Part of EN 599 may not be available. Accordingly, for a period not exceeding six years from the date of publication of this Part of EN 599, national standards organizations, or an organization nominated by them may declare interim critical values for use within their territories, to apply to products already placed on the market and used lawfully in accordance with local traditions at the date of publication of this Part of EN 599. NOTE 2. For re-testing after making variations in product formulation, guidance is given in annex A. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of the publication referred to applies. EN 20-1Wood preservatives Ð Determination of the protective effectiveness against L
