This test method determines the relative effectiveness
of wood preservatives in small wood
specimens exposed to a natural marine environment.
It is not within the scope of this procedure to determine
the retention levels necessary for protection of
commercial size piles and timbers. This Standard is
based on ASTM D2481.
This test method is useful for determining the rela-tive
efficacy of various treatments against naturally occur-ring
wood-destroying agents. It is an initial means for esti-mating
the tolerance limits of the biologically destructive
agents or the threshold values of the chemical preservative,
or both.
This test method is a qualitative method designed to
provide a reproducible means of establishing relative efficacy
between experimental chemical treatments and a reference
chemical treatment (i.e. creosote, CCA or ACZA).
This Standard may involve hazardous materials,
operations and equipment. This Standard does not
purport to address all of the safety problems associated
with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of
this standard to establish appropriate safety and
health practices and determine the applicability of
regulatory limitations prior to use.
