La présente Norme européenne spécifie une méthode de détermination du délavage de matières actives ou d'autres composés issus du bois traité avec des produits de préservation par une méthode semi-terrain pour classe d'emploi 3 (à l'extérieur au-dessus du sol). Le bois traité avec des produits de préservation peut être soumis à essai avec ou sans revêtement de surface ou traitement hydrofuge ultérieur. La méthode s'applique à l'essai de produits de préservation ou de systèmes de peinture au stade commercial ou expérimental, appliqués sur des bois non durables par des méthodes adaptées aux pratiques du commerce.

Introduction
The leaching from preservative treated wood into the environment need to be quantified to enable an
environmental risk assessment to be made of the treated wood, e.g. according to the Biocidal Products
Regulation, 528/2012. This document describes a semi-field method for the determination of leachate from
preservative treated wood where the preservative treated wood is not covered and not in contact with the
ground or water (use class 3 according to EN 335).
The method is a semi-field procedure for obtaining water samples (leachate) from treated wood exposed out
of ground contact, during a natural exposure. The quantities of emissions in the leachate are related to the
surface area of the wood and may be used in scenarios for the environmental risk assessment of the treated
wood.
NOTE The leachate can also be tested for eco-toxicological effects (example: OECD 202 testing on Daphnia sp.).

1 Scope
This Technical Report specifies a method for determining the leaching of active ingredients or other
compounds from preservative treated wood by a semi-field method for use class 3 (outdoor above ground).
The preservative treated wood can be tested with or without subsequently surface coating or other water-
repellent treatment. The method is applicable to the testing of commercial or experimental preservatives or
paint systems applied to timber by methods appropriate to commercial practice.
2 Normative references
The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are
indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references,
the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

3 Description of the test method
3.1 Principle
Panels are treated, assembled and placed outdoors, out of ground contact and exposed to the normal
environmental and ecological factors which affect preservative treated wood so exposed in practice. The
rainwater is retained and the leachate is monitored by chemical analyses of the active ingredients and/or other
compounds.
3.2 Quality criteria
The validity of the analytical method for the substances in question should be determined before conducting
the test:
a) accuracy;
b) specificity;
c) limit of detection (LOD);
d) limit of quantification (LOQ);
e) precision
NOTE EN ISO 5667-3 may give guidance on the preservation and handling of water samples.
3.3 Wood preservative
The test report shall state the name and other designation of the preservative, and the trade or common name
of the active ingredient(s) as defined in the regulation n°528/2012.
Use of a coating is possible (identity and amount of coating used shall be stated in the test report).
