This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of the toxic values of a wood preservative against the Reticulitermes species of European termites1).

This method is applicable to:

  • water-insoluble chemicals which are being studied as active insecticides;

  • 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 can be used in conjunction with an ageing procedure, for example EN 73 or EN 84.
