DIN EN 16853:2017-07 EN 16853:2017 (E) 4 Introduction Cultural heritage is of significance and value to present and f
19、uture generations. Conservation is a central consideration when it comes to retaining, protecting and sharing that significance and offers a rare and privileged opportunity to understand, enhance, and protect cultural heritage. It follows that decisions to embark on conservation are of concern to so
20、ciety and should be made in a responsible and informed manner. Conservation often involves different participants and may require dialogue with stakeholders. It is an inter-disciplinary practice involving a range of professionals with historic, scientific, technical and other competences. How conser
21、vation is achieved and the manner in which it is thought about, planned and carried out is of concern to not only conservation practitioners but also to allied professionals and to owners and custodians and is the subject of this standard. Conservation professionals seek to understand the object and
22、 how it has attained its present condition. They use knowledge of the object, its past and present use and diagnosis to decide what, if any, action is needed to secure its future use and enjoyment. Conservation of tangible cultural heritage respects its intangible aspects and may comprise some or al
23、l of preventive (including maintenance), remedial or restoration work. The objective of conservation is to manage change in a way that sustains and enhances the significance of cultural heritage. Conservation is more complex than just a mechanistic series of actions with a beginning, middle and end.
24、 Successful conservation results in the delivery of identified objectives. It usually involves the following components: documentation, definition of scope, information gathering, risk evaluation, formulation of conservation options, and the development and implementation of a conservation plan. Alt
25、hough conservation can be understood as an ongoing process, continuing into the future, a specific intervention or project can be completed by the delivery and evaluation of an agreed set of outcomes including recommendations. Ultimately the emphasis on each component will depend on the circumstance
26、s in which conservation is undertaken. This document sets out good practice for the conceptual and practical elements of conservation. It is independent of but respects national regulations and applies to all types of objects whether or not protected by legislation. It can be applied to public and p
27、rivate tendering, and to procedures in institutions. This standard is part of a series of standards being developed by CEN to present the consensus on current best practice in the conservation of cultural heritage. Intended users of this document are all those engaged in and responsible for the cons
28、ervation of cultural heritage. DIN EN 16853:2017-07 EN 16853:2017 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the process of decision-making, planning and implementing the conservation of tangible cultural heritage.

29、al objects, collections, the built environment, historic sites, archaeological sites and cultural landscapes.
