shall be drilled with hollow drill.
5.2.4 The number of test samples shall be determined, and the wood with the same species and
the same thickness in each unit preservative treatment is regarded as a batch. If the handling
capacity of each batch of wood < 5 m3, 5 samples shall be drawn. If the handling capacity of each
batch of wood >= 5 m3, 10 samples shall be drawn.
5.2.5 The detection of penetration shall be carried out in the cross-section of the wood or the
longitudinal direction of heart wood.
