Durability of wood and wood-based products - Recommendations for measurement of emissions to the environment from treated wood in service

This CEN Report is intended to stimulate discussion of the test parameters and the test methodologies to achieve a consensus of opinion. This should allow test methods for emissions from preservative treated wood to be prepared and tested before they become standards. The standards will allow competent authorities and manufacturers of wood preservatives to comply with the requirements of the  Biocide Products Directive(BPD.)

Foreword
This document has been prepared by CEN /TC 38, "Durability of wood and wood-based products", the secretariat
of which is held by AFNOR.
The status of this document as CEN Report has been chosen because the most of its content is a review of
methods of measurement of emissions from preservative treated wood in order to stimulate the discussion of the
test parameters and the test methods for emissions to be retained.

Introduction
The regulatory control of biocides and biocidal products (as defined under the UE Directive 98/8/EC, including
wood preservatives, requires increasing amounts of environmentally related information on which to base
decisions.
In the case of wood preservatives (product type 8) this includes the provision of data concerning wood preservative
treated articles.
This data is used to assess whether there is an unacceptable environmental impact likely to arise from the use of
the treated timber product.
Such a risk assessment has to consider potential releases to all environmental compartments, namely air, soil,
surface water, groundwater and sediment.
Many uses of wood preservative products are intended to extend the natural durability based expectation of service
life, sometimes in the order of several decades.
It is therefore necessary to have a means of determining not only absolute values for potential emissions to the
environment but perhaps more importantly the fluxes, or rates of emission during the course of time. They should
be representative.
That is to say they should represent the emissions from in service sized pieces of treated wood.
Flux rates and profiles can then be inserted into mathematical models usually based on defined scenarios .
Such determinations of emission rates will also be invaluable in the development of new products because they will
enable the researcher to identify early in the development of the product whether there are potential problems with
the produc
