All parties involved should share the relevant in
32、formation. It should result from a mutual agreement. The final decision shall be taken by the owner/custodian. Some packing solutions according to risk are proposed in Annex A. To make a risk assessment, the following considerations shall be made: the object itself, the number, size and weight of al
33、l objects in the consignment and everything related to their moving. 5.1.2 Risks related to the object Risks directly related to the object depend on its nature, manufacturing technique, its condition, any previous intervention and environmental conditions. The object should be examined by a conserv
34、ator-restorer in order to contribute to the decision making process to move the object and to indicate any area of fragility and vulnerability of the object. Recommendations for preventive conservation, display (mounting, frame, base, etc.), conservation-restoration, as well as handling, packing and
35、 transportation should be given. BS EN 15946:2011EN 15946:2011 (E) 8 5.1.3 Risks related to moving cultural property Several factors shall be taken into account when selecting packaging: a) international working conditions and regulations, security risks; b) the availability of professional packing
36、and transport companies experienced in handling cultural property; c) situation and accessibility at the points of collection and delivery (access routes, type of pathway, floor; goods lift, elevator; lighting; security, etc.); refer to the final consignees facility report; d) handling (manual or me
37、chanical); e) means of transport (by truck, plane, ship or train; exclusive or consolidated transport; hand carried or freight; direct trip or not; transport with or without transhipment); f) logistics, total journey time and any overnight stops; g) physical environment during transport (state of ro
38、ads, weather, etc.); h) presence of a courier or not. 5.1.4 Information on moving the object to be communicated to the packer/transporter The request for service should arrive in a range of 2 to 4 months before the planned date for packing, according to the size and complexity of that service, and s
39、hall provide the following information for each object: a) purpose of transport; b) identity of the owner/custodian (name, status, contact details); c) date(s), name(s) and precise address(es) (number and name of the street, number or name of the building, city, state or department, country) of the
40、collecting point, of the delivery location and of the return location, if it differs from the collecting point; d) details of the collecting point, the delivery location and the return location, if necessary (floor, goods lift, access, etc.); e) name of the author/creator of the object, if known; f)
41、 title or name of the object; g) inventory number or any identifying number; h) date of creation of the object, if known; i) nature of the object (techniques, materials); j) dimensions (height, length, depth, diameter) and weight of the object, with and without frame, base or mounting; for an instal
42、lation or multi-part object, give the dimensions and weight of each part and number of parts; k) special conditions under which the object is kept or transported, if any (environment, security, hazards, legal requirements or permissions, for example); l) colour photographs, if necessary; BS EN 15946
43、:2011EN 15946:2011 (E) 9 m) insurance value of the object, if necessary; n) insurance arranged by; o) period covered by the insurance; p) customs status of the object, at the collecting point, if any; q) export licence and CITES certificates, if any; r) requirements of the owner/custodian (presence
44、of courier(s), type of packaging and transport). Confidentiality of information shall be taken into account. An example of a form completed by the owner/custodian and the final consignee with information for the packer/transporter is given in Annex B. This form may be of any type (e.g. spreadsheet).
45、 5.1.5 Site visit Before packing, in order to measure the object and to evaluate its condition and the risks of transport, a site visit should be made by the packer/transporter. For this site visit, the packer or transport company shall have access to the object and meet a representative of the owne
46、r/custodian who has full knowledge of the objects file. A conservator-restorer should be present on site during this visit. Following this visit, suggestions may be made by the packer/transporter and conservator-restorer, to be agreed by the owner/custodian. It may also be necessary to visit the del
47、ivery location. 5.2 Choice of packaging 5.2.1 General principles Packaging shall provide appropriate protection to the object, in accordance with the risk assessment. It should comprise material in contact with the object which shall not abrade or otherwise harm, cushioning, and protection against s
48、hocks, vibrations and changes in environmental conditions. Packaging shall maintain all its protective properties during use. It shall be taken into account that packaging is designed for transport purposes and therefore not necessarily suitable to be used for permanent storage. If monitoring device
49、s and control indicators accompany the object, packaging shall include provision for them. Packaging shall be designed to facilitate manual or mechanical handling and should be free standing. Dimensions shall be adapted to those of the object and take into account the constraints of the selected means of transport (truck, plane, etc.). External dimensions shall be compatible with the narrowest point to be passed during the objects journey. Small objects should be packed together
