European foreword

This document (prEN 351-2:2020) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 38 “Durability of

wood and wood-based products”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.

This document has been prepared under a standardization request given to CEN by the European

Commission and the European Free Trade Association.
This document will supersede EN 351-2:2007.

Significant technical differences between this edition and EN 351-2:2007 are as follows:

— the sampling procedure for determination of longitudinal penetration has been deleted;

— a new clause on retention measurements has been introduced;
— the sampling plans in Annex A have been updated;
— a new annex showing examples on retention measurements has been introduced.

This document consists of two parts. Part 1 is concerned with defining the penetration requirements and

gives guidance on the retention requirements for preservatives in preservative-treated solid wood. Part

2 gives guidance on the general procedures to be followed in the sampling and analysis of preservative-

treated solid wood.

4 Selection of batch
For the selection of batch the following shall be considered:

— The batch shall be selected with respect to the aim of the subsequent sampling and analysis;

NOTE 1 In practice the selection of a batch is the result of a compromise between the aim of the inspection and

the quality of the analysis in terms of technical and financial considerations.

— The batch shall be selected in such a way that the subsequent selection of sampling units is

representative for the batch;

— A batch may consist of one charge or several charges treated on different occasions;

If sampling is to be carried out from the same commodity manufactured at different plants at the

same site, the batch should be selected in such a way that commodities from the different plants,

treated according to the same specification, are represented in the batch.

NOTE 2 For continuous processes, e.g. treating wood components in a spray tunnel, a batch can be defined by

the number of components treated during a defined period.
— A batch may not consist of different commodities;
A batch may not consist of a mixture of round and sawn wood.

— The way the batch has been selected shall be described in the report from the sampling and analysis

of the preservative-treated wood.

NOTE 3 E.g. a batch can be identified by wood treated during a certain time period or by charge numbers.

5 Selection of sampling units from a batch

Sampling units shall be selected to be representative of the entire batch being considered. In order to be

representative, sampling units shall be selected to take account the sources of variation that occur in the

batch.

This can include variation in cross-section in treated components and their relative proportions in the

batch. Selection should also take into account the number of packages of treated wood that make up the

batch, where relevant.

The number of sampling units shall be in accordance with the guidance in ISO 2859-1. See Annex A for

guidance.

If sapwood penetration is to be determined, units consisting entirely of heartwood should be avoided.

A true random sampling is difficult to achieve, but it should be as random as reasonably practical; see

also Clause 4, NOTE 1.

Individual techniques for the determination of penetration and retention could impose special

requirements for sampling and subsequent handling which shall be reported.
6 Selection of test samples from a sampling unit

Test samples shall be selected from the sampling units according to the following principles:

— If penetration and retention can be determined from a single test sample, only one test sample per

sampling unit is necessary. Otherwise two test samples shall be taken persampling unit for the

separate determination of penetration and retention;
---------------------- Page: 8 ----------------------
oSIST prEN 351-2:2020
prEN 351-2:2020 (E)

— For assessment of retention and lateral penetration, test samples shall be taken from clear, straight-

grained wood, away from splits, checks or other defects and at least 100 mm away from knots,

midway between ends or at least 300 mm from the end;

NOTE 1 For superficial treatments, the requirement on sampling > 300 mm from the end does not apply when

determining the retention unless an erroneous value can be expected owing to end grain penetration.

— Test samples shall be taken as borings, cross-sections, or thin sections (see Clauses 7 and 8) as

appropriate with respect to the commodities to be sampled and the methods to determine the

penetration and retention;

— When sampling, it is particularly important that the wood preservative fixation process (for that type

of preservatives) is completed.

Guidance on the fixation should be found in wood preservative manufacturers’ data sheets.

NOTE 2 Borings are normally suited for round wood (poles, piles) and thicker dimensions of sawn wood (railway

sleepers).

NOTE 3 For determination of the preservative retention, cross-sections will form a more reliable basis than

borings, as the whole analytical zone will be available for examination for cross-sections.

— When sampling is carried out by borings, there is a need for a certain minimum mass for

determination of the retention. Therefore, more than one boring taken adjacent to each other may

have to be sampled. The same number of borings shall then be taken from all sampling units involved.

7 Test methods
7.1 General

For determining the penetration of preservative in a batch, test samples are sampled in accordance with

a sampling plan in Annex A.

The penetration of wood preservative shall be determined for each sampling unit sampled from the batch.

Sampling of creosote-treated wood shall be carried out according to EN 12490.
7.2 Borings
7.2.1 General

Borings shall be taken with a sharp increment borer which extracts a core of minimum diameter of 5 mm.

If any part of the sample is lost the whole sample shall be rejected and a new one taken.

If material is incised, borings shall be taken at a point midway between adjacent incisions.

When borings are taken from
