DD ENV 12037:1996 is a British standard titled "Wood preservatives - Field test method for determining the relative protective effectiveness of a wood preservative exposed out of ground contact - Horizontal lap-joint method." This standard provides guidelines for evaluating the protective effectiveness of wood preservatives when applied to wood that is exposed to conditions outside of ground contact.
The "Horizontal lap-joint method" mentioned in the title refers to a specific testing procedure outlined in the standard. In this method, wooden specimens with lap-joint configurations are treated with a wood preservative, and then they are exposed to environmental conditions to simulate real-world exposure. The lap-joint configuration is a specific joint design used to assess the performance of the wood preservative.
The purpose of this field test is to determine how well a wood preservative protects wood from decay and other forms of deterioration when exposed to environmental factors such as weathering, sunlight, and moisture. The test results help in assessing the durability and effectiveness of the wood preservative in practical applications.
