Research themes<br />

COST ACTION E22: Environmental optimisation of wood protection<br />

• Thermal modification of wood<br />

• Chemical modification of wood<br />

• Non biocidal treatments<br />

• Environmental impact assessment<br />

3. RESEARCH ACTIVITIES BY WORKING GROUPS<br />

The activities of each participant are presented her classified according to the respective<br />

scientific areas defined in the Memorandum of Understanding of COST Action E22.<br />

Working Group 1: PERFORMANCE<br />

Scope: Traditional wood preservatives, specifying durability requirements, optimum<br />

bio-effective life, creosote, field performance using soil, insects in Europe, climatic<br />

conditions.<br />

Traditional wood preservatives<br />

• Analytical methods for wood preservatives (TNO)<br />

Classifying hazard including risk mapping<br />

• Cost climate index (European Fact project), predicting deterioration (TNO, SHR).<br />

Efficacy prediction (relationship between testing and practice)<br />

• Laboratory and field test methods for efficacy predictions in HC 3 (SHR, TNO,<br />

WUR)<br />

• TMC and stake test comparisons (HC 4) (WUR, SHR)<br />

Scientific basis for realistic, end-use predictive tests<br />

• Microbiological studies associated with developing realistic end use tests foe HC<br />

3 using unpainted lap-joints (TNO, SHR)<br />
