CEN TS 12037 Wood Protectors - Test for Horizontal Lapping Method

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of CEN TS 12037 test. This standard describes a test method for wood preservatives intended for use on wood that will be exposed to air without contact with the ground without the additional protection of a surface coating.

The standard is applicable to testing commercial or experimental preservatives applied with techniques suitable for commercial practice. The method can be applied to chemical products used individually or in combination to prevent the development of decay and/or optionally the development of deforming organisms in wood and, where appropriate, wood-based products.

The standard can also be used to test other engineered wood species and naturally durable woods.

For example, it can be adapted to test the field performance of other wood-based systems and processes designed to increase durability, such as treated or untreated wood-based composites, wood treated with non-biocidal systems, chemically modified or heat-treated wood.

Although the test is used to evaluate rot, it is possible to use the method to evaluate the stain or each individually when relevant.
