Introduction
The emissions from preservative treated wood to the environment need to be quantified to enable an
environmental risk assessment of the treated wood. This document describes a laboratory method for
the estimation of emissions from preservative treated wood in the case where the preservative treated
wood is in contact with the ground, fresh water or seawater. There are three situations in this case where
emissions could enter the environment:
a) emissions from treated wood in contact with the ground. Use Class 4. Emissions from the surface of
the treated wood could enter the soil via the soil water;
b) emissions from treated wood in contact with fresh water. Use Class 4. Emissions from the surface of
the treated wood could enter the water;
c) emissions from treated wood in contact with sea water. Use Class 5. Emissions from the surface of
the treated wood could enter the sea.
The method is a laboratory procedure for obtaining water samples (leachate) from treated wood in
contact with water, at increasing time intervals (complete duration of 29 days). The quantities of
emissions in the leachate are related to the surface area of the wood and the length of exposure, to
estimate a flux in milligrams per square metre per day.
The quantity of emissions can be used in an environmental risk assessment of the treated wood.
The results of this short-term test can be extrapolated to longer exposure periods using suitable
projection estimation methods.

1 Scope
This document specifies a laboratory method for obtaining water samples from treated wood which has
been in conditions designed to simulate continuous contact with the ground or with water (use Class 4
or 5), at time intervals after exposure.

4 Description of the test method
4.1 General considerations
The principal agent for causing emissions from wood exposed to soil is the soil water. The mechanism of
leaching at the wood surface by the soil water is assumed to be comparable in nature and of equal or
lesser severity to leaching from a wood surface in continuous contact with wate
