Field test method for wood in above ground situation - The full CEN/TC 38 guideline for the Sandwich method. Part 1 - Determining the relative protective effectiveness of a wood preservative
2024 - IRG/WP 24-41013
The attached draft CEN Technical Specification (i.e. pre-EN standard) has been drafted in order to become an alternative to the Lap-Joint test method (EN 12037:23) for testing of wood in above ground situation and the draft CEN/TS Part 1 is specifically intended for determining the relative protective effectiveness of a wood preservative. The new draft CEN/TS is based on a test method developed by...

The spread of technology in a simple wooden pile construction method to prevent shallow landslides
2025 - IRG/WP 25-20733
This study introduces the development and practical application of an innovative slope stabilization technique called the Wood Pile Root System Method (WPRSM), aimed at preventing shallow landslides, which have increased due to the rising occurrence of extreme weather events caused by climate change. This method effectively reinforces slopes using thinned timber, providing a sustainable and cost-e...

Improvement and practical application of dry-type pressure treatment method
2025 - IRG/WP 25-20734
In years, the need for environmental consideration has been reaffirmed worldwide, and in Japan too, there is a demand for the expansion of the uses of wood in order to achieve a decarbonised society. So, there is also a need to develop and improve wood preservation treatment methods that overcome the weaknesses of wood and enable it to be used in a wide range of applications. The authors have impr...

Enhancing the Fire Resistance of Spruce Wood through Treatment and Additive Application: Small Flame Test Method
2025 - IRG/WP 25-20737
Spruce panels treated by spraying with Burnblock® spray, were tested using “Small flame test method” according to EN ISO 11925-2:2011. The fire retardant product from Burnblock ApS is reported by the Danish company to be bioderived and non-toxic. The results for the untreated planed spruce showed moderate flammability whereas the Burn Block treated panels exhibited exceptional fire resistance...

Validation of a measurement method for cyproconazole retention in pressure-treated wood through an interlaboratory study
2025 - IRG/WP 25-41037
The Japanese Agricultural standard (JAS) defines national regulations for preserved wood and wooden materials, in Japan. Traditionally the JAS focused on quality of product, however, the revision of the JAS Act in 2017 enabled standardisation of test or measurement method for the quality evaluation. The Japan Wood Protection Association (JWPA) has been working toward standardisation of methods for...
