Wood preservatives - Determination of the relative protective effectiveness of a wood preservative for use under a coating and exposed out-of-ground contact - Field test: L-joint method

This European Standard specifies a method for determining the relative protective effectiveness against fungal decay of a wood preservative applied to wood in combination with a subsequent surface coating, exposed to the weather and out of contact with the ground. The effectiveness is evaluated relative to a reference wood preservative.
The method is applicable to the testing of commercial or experimental preservatives applied to non-durable timbers by methods appropriate to commercial practice and subsequently coated with a specified coating system. The method is applicable to products and processes used individually or in combination to prevent the development of decay in the wood.
The method is also appropriate for factory finishing systems which include wood protection and wood preservation claims.

Holzschutzmittel - Bestimmung der relativen Wirksamkeit eines Holzschutzmittels zur Anwendung unter einem Anstrich und ohne Erdkontakt - Freilandprüfung: L-Verbindungsmethode

Diese Europäische Norm legt ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung der Wirksamkeit eines Schutzmittels gegen Pilzbefall fest, das an Holz angewendet wird, welches anschließend mit einem Oberflächenanstrich versehen und ohne Erdkontakt der Witterung ausgesetzt wird. Die Wirksamkeit wird im Verhältnis zu einer Behandlung mit einem Bezugsschutzmittel bewertet.
Das Verfahren ist für die Prüfung kommerzieller oder experimenteller Holzschutzmittel anwendbar, die mit für die kommerzielle Praxis geeigneten Verfahren in nicht dauerhafte Hölzer eingebracht und nachfolgend mit einem angegebenen Anstrichsystem überstrichen werden. Das Verfahren ist für Produkte und Verfahren anwendbar, die einzeln oder in Kombination eingesetzt werden, um das Entstehen von Fäulnis im Holz zu verhindern.
Das Verfahren ist ebenfalls für industrielle Beschichtungssysteme anwendbar, die auch Holz schützende Substanzen enthalten.

Produits de préservation du bois - Détermination de l’efficacité protectrice d’un produit de préservation du bois pour employ un revetment et hors de contact avec le sol - Essais de champ: méthode avec un esemblage en L

La présente Norme européenne spécifie une méthode permettant de déterminer l'efficacité protectrice relative contre la pourriture provoquée par les champignons d'un système de protection comprenant l'application du produit de préservation sur le bois, puis l'application d'un revêtement de surface, le bois étant exposé aux intempéries et hors de contact avec le sol. L'efficacité est évaluée par rapport à un produit de préservation du bois de référence.
La méthode s'applique à l'essai des produits de préservation commerciaux ou expérimentaux appliqués sur des bois non durables par des méthodes appropriées couramment utilisées dans la pratique, puis recouverts d'un système de finition spécifié. La méthode s'applique aux produits et aux procédés mis en oeuvre individuellement ou conjointement afin d'empêcher le développement de la pourriture dans le bois.
La méthode est également appropriée pour les systèmes de finition en usine pour lesquels une protection et une préservation du bois sont revendiquées.

Zaščitna sredstva za les - Terenska preskusna metoda za ugotavljanje relativne preventivne učinkovitosti zaščitnega sredstva za les, ki je pokrit in ni v stiku z zemljo – Terenski preskus: metoda vezi L

Ta evropski standard določa metodo za ugotavljanje relativne preventivne učinkovitosti zaščitnega sredstva pred plesnobo na lesu, katerega površina je bila naknadno premazana in ni v stiku z zemljo. Metoda se uporablja za testiranje komercialnih ali eksperimentalnih zaščitnih sredstev za neobstojni les z metodami, ki ustrezajo poslovni praksi. Les se naknadno prekrije s specifičnim premaznim sistemom. Ta metoda se uporablja za izdelke in postopke, ki se uporabljajo posamezno ali v kombinaciji, za preprečitev razpadanja lesa.

Overview

EN 330:2014 (CEN) specifies a standardized field test (L‑joint method) to determine the relative protective effectiveness of a wood preservative when applied beneath a surface coating and exposed outdoors out-of-ground contact (Use Class 3). The method evaluates test preservatives relative to a reference preservative using jointed test assemblies (L‑joints) that are treated, coated and exposed to natural weathering and microbial succession (moulds, blue stain, soft rot and basidiomycetes). Results are compared with reference-treated and untreated control specimens to assess performance.

Key topics and requirements

  • Test principle: Treated L‑joint assemblies are coated, exposed outdoors and inspected periodically (visual non‑destructive and destructive sawn section inspections) to detect internal and surface decay. Comparison is made against a reference preservative and untreated controls.
  • Reference preservative: Specified composition includes hexabutyldistannoxane (with minimum active fraction noted), hydrocarbon resin and solvent (document gives exact mass‑fraction guidance). Alternatives require evidence of equivalent performance.
  • Reference coating: Solvent‑borne alkyd (opaque high gloss/gloss/semi‑gloss) applied to a dry film build of 50 ± 5 µm (2–3 coats) or water‑borne acrylic with 110–120 µm (1–2 coats) measured per ISO 2808 method 4A. Supplier‑specified coating systems may be used when integral to the protection system.
  • Wood specimens: Primarily sapwood of Pinus sylvestris (Scots pine) is required; quality limits are specified (e.g., 2.5–8 growth rings per 10 mm; latewood ≤ 30% for Scots pine). Heartwood restrictions apply in joint areas.
  • Materials & preparation: End‑seal compounds, treatment processes, conditioning, labeling, weathering racks and exposure site details are specified to ensure reproducible exposure.
  • Duration & evaluation: Inspections at least annually; a minimum 5‑year exposure is indicated for many replicates, with recommendation to continue replicates until failure for fuller assessment. Test validity requires inclusion of reference and control L‑joints.

Applications and who uses it

  • Wood preservative manufacturers for product development and comparative performance data.
  • Coating and factory finishing suppliers when making combined protection/preservation claims.
  • Independent test laboratories and certification bodies conducting durability testing to support compliance and marketing claims.
  • Specifiers, architects and timber product manufacturers evaluating long‑term performance for exterior joinery and cladding.
  • Regulatory and procurement teams requiring standardized comparative data for tendering or registration.
