18、) 4 Introduction Knowledge and understanding of the material evidence of built cultural heritage and the information on its current state is important as it helps to specify measures necessary to preserve structures in an appropriate condition and ensure that the maintenance required to keep them at
19、 this level is well defined. Built cultural heritage in this document refers to standing structures which have an architectural, cultural or historical value. A condition survey is a management tool. This condition survey of structures and materials is the first step in a process to develop plans an
20、d measures needed to keep built cultural heritage in a stable well-maintained condition. It acts as the basis for recommending preventive conservation, maintenance and immediate repairs and for a more detailed planning and consideration for further measures or studies. When damage is detected and th
21、e causes are not evident, it will be necessary to carry out a more detailed investigation or diagnosis outside the remit of this standard in order to execute further remedial measures of an appropriate quality. Preventive conservation, regular condition surveys and maintenance is the best way to con
22、serve and maintain the significance of built cultural heritage, while ensuring that its authenticity and integrity are retained. A combination of scientific, architectural, historic, structural and cultural knowledge and conservation experience of built cultural heritage is advisable in order to exe
23、cute this survey. This European Standard is for use by the surveyor as requested by the end-user. The results are for use by the owner and/or the manager of the built cultural heritage. This does not preclude that the owner/manager may use this standard as a guide for assessing the condition. This E
24、uropean Standard has been prepared taking into account European and International conventions, charters, declarations and guidelines. References are given in the Bibliography. For the purposes of data management it is advisable to have a digital system. For decorative elements integrated into the bu
25、ilding (e.g. stained glass, mural paintings etc.) the condition survey may be extended by a condition report in accordance with EN 16095. Other standards for assessing the condition of built structures should be considered. BS EN 16096:2012EN 16096:2012 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard provides
26、guidelines for a condition survey of built cultural heritage. It states how the condition of the built cultural heritage should be assessed, documented, recorded and reported on. It encompasses evaluation of the condition of a building or other structure mainly by visual observation, together when n
27、ecessary with simple measurements. The relevant data and documentation on the built cultural heritage should be collected and included in the report. This European Standard can be applied to all built cultural heritage such as buildings, ruins, bridges and other standing structures. Built cultural h
28、eritage comprises both protected and non-protected significant buildings and structures. Archaeological sites and cultural landscapes are not dealt with in this standard. This European Standard does not specify how to carry out a diagnosis (3.7) of the built cultural heritage. For listed/protected i
29、mmovable heritage, specific national rules for expert documentation and works may apply. This European Standard may be applied in order to: a) identify maintenance measures and the need for further investigation and diagnostics of damage; b) define procurement needs and the requirement for detailed
30、specification; c) provide a unified method to obtain comparative data, when carrying out a condition survey for a group of buildings or a region. 2 Normative references Not applicable. 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 condition

Note 2 to entry: Investigation is frequently invasive, entailing opening up floors or roofs, t
36、he making of holes for fibre-optics, taking samples, etc., and may be locally destructive, as is archaeological excavation. Non-invasive methods include inspection, photogrammetry, remote sensing, the study of documentary and/or oral sources etc. SOURCE: EN 15898:2011 3.9 maintenance periodic preven

40、of the survey is to assess, document and record the condition of built cultural heritage. The condition survey encompasses planning (4.2), property and cultural heritage information (4.3), recording the condition (4.4), making risk assessment and recommendations (4.5), documenting the summary (4.6)
41、and condition report (4.7). 4.2 Planning 4.2.1 Preparation Before the survey of the built cultural heritage, the scope, the need for resources, the equipment and the format for recording (see Annex A) to be used, shall be clearly defined. The person(s) or institution who has commissioned the conditi
42、on survey shall be identified in the report. Information on the property and the built cultural heritage shall be obtained during the planning stage. This shall form the basis for the condition survey. For large or complex sites consisting of multiple structures, the surveyor shall clearly define th
43、e structure(s) which are included in the survey. A system for identifying and locating the individual objects shall be included. When surveying a ruin, the purpose is to maintain it in its ruined state. This should be confirmed by the involved parties. The involved parties, natural persons or legal
44、entities, shall be informed of the condition survey and the necessary permits for access to the entire built cultural heritage shall be obtained. Measures to guarantee the safety of the surveyor during inspection shall be specified. 4.2.2 Qualifications of survey personnel Condition surveys on built
45、 cultural heritage should be performed by professionals. The surveyor(s) should have knowledge of traditional materials, construction techniques and decay processes. For larger and more complex surveys extended across various fields, interdisciplinary cooperation is necessary for a condition survey.

47、ation, shall be obtained. For regular inspections, it is appropriate to update the data from the previous inspection. NOTE Information can be obtained, for example, from the national cadastre/land registers, cultural heritage databases, cultural heritage administration, building authorities, the own
48、er(s), and from the records of earlier work provided by relevant professionals. 4.3.2 Object information Object information comprises: a) identification of the object (number, name, location, address, etc.; provide reference if the identification number is taken from an official/statutory documentat
