Technical Report

Overview

This Technical Report specifies the minimum performance requirements for hot air treatment intended for application against specific classes of wood-attacking organisms. This Technical Report is applicable only to hot air treatment, in so far as it is intended to cure attack by wood-destroying beetles and the dry rot fungus (Serpula lacrymans). It is not applicable to eradicate an attack by termites or by fungi other than the dry rot fungus. Hot air treatment as described in this document does not provide subsequent preventive protection against attack by wood-destroying organisms. This document does not define the equipment, techniques or precise operation procedures. Specifications for particular practical circumstances have to be developed on a case by case basis by expert advisers/consultants. With respect to prestandard DIN CEN/TS 15003:2005-06 the status has been changed into "DIN SPEC" without amendments to the content. The committee responsible for this standard is NA 042-03-06 AA "Spiegelausschuss zu CEN/TC 38 und ISO/TC 165/SC 1 Dauerhaftigkeit von Holz und Holzprodukten" ("Mirror Committee of CEN/TC 38 and ISO/TC 165/SC 1 Durability of wood and wood-based products") at DIN.
