Soil blocks versus field test for evaluating and standardizing wood preservatives: A commercial view
IRG/WP 94-20024
W S McNamara
On the basis of technical considerations, experience, costs and applicability, the author concludes that the soil block test and other laboratory tests have little meaning in a wood preservative standardization process and almost no merit in the commercialization of a wood preservative system. Field tests at sites known to be aggressive to preservative treated wood are strongly recommended.
