Introduction
This document describes a laboratory method of testing which gives a basis for assessment of the
effectiveness of a wood preservative, against Anobium punctatum. It allows the determination of the
concentration at which the product prevents the development of infestation from egg laying.
The method simulates conditions which can occur in practice on timber which has been treated some time
previously with a deeply penetrating wood preservative and on which eggs of Anobium punctatum are laid.
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 appropriate 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 include the use of separate
rooms, areas within rooms, extraction facilities, conditioning chambers and special training for personnel (see
also Annex D for environmental, health and safety precautions).

The treated test specimens are exposed to gravid females of Anobium punctatum. The numbers of eggs laid,
the numbers of eggs hatched, and the numbers of the surviving larvae are compared with those in untreated
control test specimens. If the preservative has been prepared in the laboratory by dilution of a concentrate or
by dissolution of a solid, the resulting attack is also compared to that in solvent or diluent treated control test
specimens.

Adult males and females in good condition.
Adults to be used in the test shall be collected daily from naturally infested wood or laboratory culture (see
Annex C).
Use recently emerged adults which have been recently collected; kept overnight in quarantine (see C.6); and
then checked to ensure that they are undamaged, active, and free from any infestation by mites. Determine
the sex (see Annex B) of the collected and checked adults and place the males and females in separate
containers.
NOTE The proportion of males and females varies during the emergence period.
5.2 Products and reagents

7 Test specimens
7.1 Species of wood
The reference species is European oak. This shall be either sessile oak (Quercus petraea (Mattuschka)
Lieblin) or pedunculate oak (Quercus robur Linnaeus).
2)
NOTE Additional tests may be carried out using other timber species but, if so, this should be stated in the test report.
7.2 Wood quality
The wood shall be free from visible cracks, stain, decay, insect damage and other defects. The wood shall not
have been water-stored, floated, chemically treated or steamed. The wood shall originate from trees
preferably felled in winter. The trees shall be cut immediately after felling and the timber rapidly air dried. The
wood shall not have been stored for more than three years.
3)
The wood shall be exclusively sapwood and having between two annual rings per 10 mm and 10 annual
rings per 10 mm.
NOTE It is recommended to use test specimens of similar growth rate within a single test.
7.3 Provision of test specimens
4)
Prepare planed strips having a cross-section of (25 ± 0,5) mm × (15 ± 0,5) mm removing a minimum of
2 mm from any surfaces exposed during drying. The longitudinal faces shall be parallel to the direction of the
grain. The annual rings shall be parallel to the broad faces (contact angle of less than 5°). Make transverse
cuts, neatly to give sharp edges and a fine-sawn finish to the end-grain surfaces, to give test specimens
(50 ± 0,5) mm long.
The test specimens shall originate from a minimum of three trees or shall be taken at random from a stock
originally of more than 500 test specimens.
7.4 Dimensions of test specimens
The dimensions of each test specimen after reaching equilibrium in the conditioning chamber (5.3.2) shall be
(50 ± 0,5) mm × (25 ± 0,5) mm × (15 ± 0,5) mm.
For the purposes of calculating the mass of preservative retained per unit volume of wood (8.1.2.2) the
3
nominal volume of each test specimen shall be taken as 18,75 cm .
Mark each test specimen so that it can be identified throughout the test.
7.5 Number of test specimens
Use:
a) five test specimens (see 7.4) for each preservative and each concentration:);
b) five untreated control test specimens (see 7.4) for a complete test of any given preservative;
2) The growth of young larvae of Anobium punctatum is slow in test specimens from resinous wood. Results from test
specimens in resinous wood should be compared with those obtained from oak test specimens.
3) It is not essential in this test for the starch content to be high.
4) These test specimens may be taken from the trunk of the tree or the large branches.

c) five control test specimens (7.4) treated with that solvent or diluent (5.2.4 or 5.2.5) if a solvent or diluent
(water included) is used.
It is advisable to treat more than the specified number of test specimens so that, after weighing, any test
specimens with abnormally high or low retentions can be rejected from the batch.
8 Procedure
8.1 Preparation of the test specimens
8.1.1 Conditioning of test specimens before treatment
Allow the test specimens to condition in the conditioning chamber (5.3.2), for a minimum of two weeks.
8.1.2 Treatment of the test specimens
8.1.2.1 Preparation of the treatment solution
8.1.2.1.1 Solid preservatives
Water-soluble preservatives:
dissolve the preservative in the water (5.2.4) to the required concentration, or to a series of
concentrations if toxic values are to be determined.
Non-water-soluble preservatives:
dissolve the preservative in an appropriate solvent (5.2.5) to the required concentration, or to a series of
concentrations if toxic values are to be determined.
8.1.2.1.2 Liquid preservatives
If appropriate, use the preservative without further preparation other than any necessary stirring. If it is a
concentrate or if toxic values are to be determined, dilute the preservative with the diluent to the required
working concentration, using the procedure specified by the manufacturer.
All treatment solutions shall be freshly prepared.
8.1.2.1.3 Toxic values
If toxic values are to be determined, prepare a series of at least five concentrations by mass, distributed
evenly about the expected toxic values. A solvent or diluent control, i.e. treatment at concentration = 0, shall
also be used. If the approximate toxic values are unknown, the concentrations shall form a widely spaced
geometric progression for a first test and a more closely spaced geometric or arithmetic progression for
subsequent tests.
All treatment solutions shall be freshly prepared.
8.1.2.2 Impregnation
Carry out impregnation in ascending order of concentration, starting with the solvent control (concentration
= 0).
The following procedure ensures the required complete impregnation of test sp
