explanation
Wood preservatives are active substances or mixtures containing active substances, which are intended to protect wood or wood-based materials from being attacked by organisms destroying wood or affect wood quality. Wood preservatives fall under the scope of biocide legislation based on Regulation (EU) No. 528/2012 (Biocide Regulation).
In most cases, the use of biocides involves a certain risk for both the user and the persons exposed to the materials treated with biocides, as well as the environment. Before biocides are used, it should thus always be verified if they are actually necessary and whether the product chosen is suitable for the intended purpose.
The use of wood preservatives can be avoided by numerous logistical, planning, constructive or building-physical possibilities.
Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2012 concerning the making available on the market and use of biocidal products (Biocide Regulation)
