Scope:
This method is a screening test to determine the resistance
of wood based materials to decay by selected fungi under
controlled laboratory conditions. It can also be used to
establish the minimum amount of preservative that is effective
in preventing decay of selected species of wood by selected
fungi under optimum laboratory conditions. Preservative
thresholds obtained using this procedure provide an indication
of retentions to be used in above-ground field tests; retentions
to include in ground-contact field tests would be greater (e.g.,
1.5 - 2.0 times) than those obtained in soil-block tests. This
test method is intended to provide information for
standardization of protection treatments. It may also be useful
as a screening test.
