The EU’s Public Procurement Directives require public bodies and utility companies to specify in terms of European standards where these exist. (European standards adopted as British Standards will be referred to as British Standards or specifically identified by BS EN prefixes.) Therefore, to specify timber treated with preservatives, the system described in BS EN 351-1 must be used.
European standards for the preservative treatment of timber are written in terms of the results of the treatment process rather than the process itself; to check compliance with this type of specification, a clear interpretation of the standards is needed for both specifier and treater.
This Information Paper presents progress in the review of the BSI’s Draft for Development 239 (DD 239), the UK’s interpretative guidance document. It complements IP 6/99, and the earlier papers IP 4/97, IP 9/96 and IP 11/92.
