Wood preservatives and treated timber — Guide to sampling and preparation of wood preservatives and treated timber for analysis

Scope

This East African Standard gives guidance on the general procedures to be followed in the sampling and preparation of preservatives and preservative- treated timber for analysis and is applicable to the provision of appropriate samples for analysis which may be used to check the content of active components in preservative formulations, and to determine the identity, location and concentration of preservatives in treated timber. This standard does not provide detailed procedures to be adopted for control purposes at manufacturing plants where large volumes of preservative are to be sampled. This standard does not define any detailed methodology to be followed in operations in these areas because this can depend upon the nature of the preservative, the method of treatment, and the particular requirements of relevant approval authorities
