?How is preservative treatment of timber verified according to this standard?▼
According to IS 1003 Part 1 (Clause 5.1.3 and Annex B), preservative treatment of timber is verified by:
Kiln seasoning as per IS 1141 before planing.
Treating sapwood of durable species and all parts of non-durable species with preservatives (except water-soluble leachable types) as per IS 401.
Applying preservative to finished components where cut for joinery.
Spot test method (Annex B) for checking preservative penetration and identification:
Cut across timber components.
Apply Solution 1 on dry cut surface; after drying, apply Solution 2 on yellow-colored areas.
Observe color changes (e.g., red for boron presence).
Blue color on spraying indicates copper presence.
The entire cross-section must be tested to ensure thorough penetration.
Spot Test Summary:
Step
Action
Observation
1
Spray Solution 1 on cut surface
Yellow coloration
2
Spray Solution 2 on yellow areas
Color change (e.g., red for boron)
3
Spray on bore dust or split surface
Deep blue indicates copper
This method ensures the preservative is properly absorbed and identifies the chemical type used.
