STANDARD FIELD TEST FOR EVALUATION OF WOOD PRESERVATIVES TO BE USED IN GROUND CONTACT (UC4A, UC4B, UC4C); STAKE TEST

active, Most Current
Organization: AWPA
Publication Date: 1 January 2021
Status: active
Page Count: 9
scope:

This standard evaluation method describes procedures for preparing, treating, conditioning and testing wood stakes treated with preservative and chemical wood modification systems. With appropriate adjustments, it may also be used to test other methods of wood protection and natural durability. The resulting ratings can be used to estimate the expected relative performance of the test preservative compared to established preservatives. This test method is intended to provide information for standardization of protection treatments. It may also be useful as a screening test.

The requirements for preparation of the material for testing and the test procedures appear in the following order:
