ASTM D1274-95(2000)

Standard Test Methods for Chemical Analysis of Pentachlorophenol (Withdrawn 2006)

SCOPE
1.1 These test methods cover the determination of the chemical analysis of pentachlorophenol for use in the preservative treatment of wood.  
1.1.1 Test Method D38 covers the sampling of wood preservatives prior to testing.
1.2 The analytical procedures appear in the following order:  Sections Total Acidity 6 and 7 Alkali-Insoluble Material 8 and 9 Freezing Point 10
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
WITHDRAWN RATIONALE
These test methods cover the determination of the chemical analysis of pentachlorophenol for use in the preservative treatment of wood.
Formerly under the jurisdiction of Committee D07 on Wood, these test methods were withdrawn without replacement in July 2006.
