This standard BS EN 49-2:2015 Wood preservatives. Determination of the protective effectiveness against Anobium punctatum (De Geer) by egg-laying and larval survival is classified in these ICS categories:

• 71.100.50 Wood-protecting chemicals

This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of the protective effectiveness or the toxic values of a wood preservative against Anobium punctatum (De Geer) by egg-laying and larval survival in wood which has been treated previously by full impregnation. This method is applicable to:

• water-insoluble chemicals which are being studied as active insecticides;

• organic formulations, as supplied or as prepared in the laboratory by dilution of concentrates;

• organic water-dispersible formulations as supplied or as prepared in the laboratory by dilution of concentrates, and

• water-soluble materials, for example salts.
