Cette flexibilité permet aux chercheurs et aux fabricants de tester une large gamme de formules, incluant celles élaborées en laboratoire par dilution des concentrés, ce qui renforce l'applicabilité de la norme dans divers contextes de recherche et d'industrie. Un autre aspect essentiel de la norme EN 118:2013 est qu'elle peut être utilisée conjointement avec des procédures de vieillissement, telles que les normes EN 73 ou EN 84. Cela offre aux utilisateurs un outil puissant pour évaluer non seulement l'efficacité immédiate des traitements, mais aussi leur durabilité et leur performance sur le long terme. En somme, la norme EN 118:2013 est un document de référence incontournable dans le domaine des conservateurs du bois, alliant rigueur scientifique et applicabilité pratique. Son importance est accentuée par la nécessité de protéger les structures en bois contre les attaques des termites, garantissant ainsi la pérennité des matériaux et la sécurité des constructions.
The EN 118:2013 standard stands as a crucial reference for professionals in the wood preservation industry, specifically targeting the determination of preventive action against Reticulitermes species, commonly known as European termites. This document effectively outlines a laboratory method that is essential for assessing the efficacy of wood preservatives when applied as surface treatments. The scope of EN 118:2013 is comprehensive and versatile, making it applicable to various types of wood preservative formulations. It accommodates water-insoluble chemicals under evaluation as active ingredients, ensuring that researchers can test a wide range of substances. Moreover, the inclusion of organic formulations-both as supplied and those prepared through dilution-demonstrates the standard’s adaptability to practical applications. Additionally, the consideration of organic water-dispersible formulations and water-soluble materials, such as salts, further enhances the standard's inclusivity. One of the significant strengths of EN 118:2013 is its ability to work in conjunction with other recognised procedures, such as EN 73 or EN 84, which allows for a more extensive analysis of the preservative’s effectiveness over time through an ageing procedure. This integration is vital as it offers a holistic approach to testing, ensuring that preservatives can withstand environmental factors that may affect their performance. The relevance of EN 118:2013 cannot be overstated, especially given the increasing concern regarding wood preservation in the face of termite infestations. By providing a rigorous, standardized method for evaluating preservative products, the standard not only aids manufacturers in complying with regulatory requirements but also assures consumers about the reliability and durability of wood-treated products. In conclusion, EN 118:2013 serves as an essential tool within the industry, supporting the development of effective wood preservatives against European termites, while accommodating a range of chemical formulations and methodologies. Its structured approach allows for precise and reliable assessment, leading to enhanced practices in wood preservation.
