What is PD CEN/TR 15003 – Criteria for hot air processes for curative uses against wood destroying organisms about?

PD CEN/TR 15003 discusses the durability of wood and wood-based products. The main aim of the PD CEN/TR 15003 is to ensure the efficiency of the hot air processes for curative uses against wood destroying organisms. PD CEN/TR 15003 specifies the minimum performance requirements for hot air treatment intended for application against specific classes of wood attacking organism. It specifies the minimum performance criteria to be achieved by hot air treatment. PD CEN/TR 15003 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 ). Note 1: PD CEN/TR 15003 is not applicable to eradicate an attack by termites or by fungi other than the dry rot fungus (Serpula lacrymans).
