Причина отмены This test method covered determination of the minimum amount of preservative that is effective in preventing decay of selected species of wood by selected fungi under optimum laboratory conditions.

Formerly under the jurisdiction of Committee D07 on Wood, this practice was withdrawn in January 2016 in accordance with section 10.6.3 of the Regulations Governing ASTM Technical Committees, which requires that standards shall be updated by the end of the eighth year since the last approval date.

Значение и использование

This test method is useful in the development of new wood preservatives and preservative systems by evaluating the minimum preservative retention to prevent decay under laboratory conditions. The results are used to facilitate target retentions in subsequent tests for effectiveness against termites (see Test Method D 3345) and in field stakes (see Test Method D 1758). The sections on Treatment and Preservative Permanence are referenced by other ASTM standards. The test method assumes that the test blocks exposed to certain conditions after treatment will achieve equilibrium, and will return to the same equilibrium after exposure to fungi. This assumption may lead to weight loss that is not due to decay. The test uses live cultures of fungal organisms that require careful colonization, storage, and feeding to remain viable strains.
