16、5:2012 (E) 4 Introduction This is a general standard for sampling of materials constituting cultural property in order to characterize them during all stages of conservation. The sampling procedure depends on the type and condition of the material to be sampled, the specific case under study and the
17、 type of investigation chosen. Sampling is invasive and invariably causes damage, however small. It should only be undertaken if there is strong justification for it and in the closest consultation with those having responsibility for the object and those who will be studying the samples. The consul
18、tation should consider whether the same information could be obtained by non-invasive methods. BS EN 16085:2012EN 16085:2012 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard provides a methodology and criteria for sampling cultural property materials for their scientific investigation. It covers, for example, h
19、ow to characterize the material(s), assess the condition, determine the deterioration causes and/or mechanism(s) and decide on and/or evaluate the conservation treatment(s). Apart from sampling, this document also provides requirements for documentation, and handling of sample(s). This European Stan
20、dard does not deal with the decision making process for taking a sample nor how the sample is to be used. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition
21、 cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

25、.1 The aims of the sampling should be clearly defined and justified, and a sampling plan (see Clause 5) should be based on these aims. 4.2 Sampling should be carried out according to current legislation and/or the policy of the cultural property owner and/or the authority responsible for the care of
26、 the movable or immovable cultural property. 4.3 Prior to sampling, an appropriate record of the condition of the cultural property in accordance with EN16095 or EN16096 should be established, i.e. a condition survey or report. Sampling requires people with manual skill and knowledge of the cultural
27、 property. 4.4 The sampling should be done so as to minimize any visible and/or disrupting/damaging effects and taken, when possible, from an as inconspicuous place as possible provided that it fulfils the aims of the sampling. 4.5 Sampling should be carried out according to the specific requirement
28、s of the scientific investigation. 5 Sampling plan A sampling plan shall be established on the basis of a preliminary survey. The sampling plan shall cover the research question(s) to be addressed and shall be defined in close consultation with those having responsibility of the cultural property an
29、d those who will be studying the samples. The sampling plan shall provide an overview of the locations for taking samples, and of the number, size and nature of the sample(s) to be taken. The size and nature of the sample shall be appropriate to the research question being addressed and in accordanc
30、e with the criteria given in Clause 4. The sampling plan shall specify the person(s) authorised to take the samples, and the method of sampling. The sampling plan shall specify whether any part of the sample remaining after the investigation shall be returned to the owner/responsible person or shall
31、 be retained by the investigator. The sampling plan shall be added to the documentary archive of the object. 6 Sampling recording During the sampling operation, a sampling data sheet should be completed with all the necessary information as follows: 6.1 A sample identification code: this code is uni
32、que and should be associated with the sample at all times. 6.2 Aim or aims of the sampling: these should be related specifically to the objective of the scientific investigation. 6.3 The planned scientific investigation: this describes the intended type(s) of scientific investigation examination for
33、 the sample. 6.4 Identification of the cultural property: any existing registration code(s)/inventory number should be recorded. Reference to any existing condition surveys and/or condition reports should be included. All information related to the identification of the cultural property, such as na
34、me, author, date, etc. should be given. 6.5 Identification of the sample: a) date of sampling given as the year, month, and day “(YYYY-MM-DD)”; b) name of the person who collected the samples, and relevant contact information; BS EN 16085:2012EN 16085:2012 (E) 7 c) location of the sampling point: th
35、is should be described by written records, graphic documentation, photographs, etc. in order to confirm the sample location for future reference. Each photograph should include a metric scale and colorimetric reference when applicable; d) description of the physical state (solid, liquid, etc.), type
36、 (fragment, core, powder etc.), colour, stratigraphy of the sample; e) photographs of the sample with metric scale and colorimetric reference when applicable; f) the sampling procedure and/or type of tools used should be recorded. 6.6 Other relevant information are strongly recommended: environmenta
37、l exposure condition(s) of sample, conditions while sampling, packaging of the sample as well as other comments to be recorded at the time of sampling if deemed important, such as recommendation for storage conditions before the planned investigation. An example of sampling data sheet is given in An
38、nex A. 7 Number of samples Only a minimum though sufficient number of samples should be taken. They should be representative and in accordance with the sampling plan. 8 Amount of samples Only a minimum but sufficient amount of material should be taken. The amount of material depends on the type of c
39、ultural property, the nature of the material, and the kind of scientific investigation to be employed. 9 Sampling Operation Sampling requires appropriate tools and care needs to be taken to avoid contamination of the sample(s). Health and safety regulations should be followed for the protection of t
40、he person(s) who are sampling. 10 Packing of the sample Each sample should be packed according to the recommendations of the professional(s) who will investigate the sample(s). The sample(s) should be protected from contamination, mechanical damage, and alteration during transportation to storage. E
41、ach sample shall be identified with the sample identification code in a suitable and durable way. 11 Storage conditions Special care may be necessary to store the samples depending on their nature and state prior to investigation.
