Wood preservatives - Determination of the protective effectiveness against Lyctus brunneus (Stephens) - Part 1: Application by surface treatment (laboratory method)
This part of the EN 20 series specifies a method for the determination of the protective effectiveness or the toxic values of a wood preservative against infection by Lyctus brunneus (Stephens) when the product is applied as a surface treatment to wood.
This method is applicable to:
- water-insoluble chemicals which are being studied as active insecticides; or
- organic formulsation, as supplied or as prepared in the laboratory by dilution of concentrates; or
- organic water-dispersible formulations as supplied or as prepared in the laboratory by dilution of concentrates; or
- water-soluble materials, for example salts.
NOTE This method can be used in conjuction with ageing procedures, which do not remove the added nutrient.

Introduction
This Part of the EN 20 series describes a laboratory method of test which gives a basis for assessment of
the protective effectiveness of a wood preservative, when applied as a surface treatment, against Lyctus
brunneus. It allows the deternination of the concentration at which the product prevents the development
of infestation from egg-laying.
It can also be used with formulations ready for use.
The species Lyctus brunneus is chosen because of its particular practical relevance and because it can be
used easily in laboratory tests. The method can be used with other lyctid species, but the results might
not be comparable with those obtained with Lyctus brunneus.
The test specimens are enriched with a defined nutrient solution, before exposure to egg-laying, in order
to ensure uniformity of nutrient quality of test specimens between different laboratories.
This laboratory method provides one criterion by which the value of a product can be assessed. In making
this assessment, the methods by which the preservative may be applied should be taken into account. It
is further recommended that results from this test should be supplemented by those from other
appropriates tests, and above all by comparison with practical experience.
When products which are very active at low concentrations are used, it is very important to take suitable
precautions to isolate and separate, as far as possible, operations involving chemical products, other
products, treated wood, laboratory apparatus and clothing. Suitable precautions should
