EVS-EN 15228:2009

This European Standard specifies general requirements for structural timber that has been treated with preservatives against biological attack. This European Standard also specifies requirements for the evaluation of conformity and marking of preservative treated timber products when they are placed on the market. Treatments which include a biocide are covered by this standard. It does not provide details of which preservative treatments are necessary for a particular type of structural timber product to achieve a required service life, as regional climatic differences and prevalent biological agents would need to be taken into account for that purpose.
