BS EN 16853:2017EN 16853:2017 (E) 4 Introduction Cultural heritage is of significance and value to present and future generations. Conservation is a central consideration when it comes to
24、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 society and should be made in a responsible and informed manner. Conservation
25、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 conservation is achieved and the manner in which it is thought about, planned and
26、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 how it has attained its present condition. They use knowledge of the object
27、, 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 all of preventive (including maintenance), remedial or restoration work. The o
28、bjective 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. Successful conservation results in the delivery of identified objectives. I
29、t 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. Although conservation can be understood as an ongoing process, continuing into
30、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 circumstances in which conservation is undertaken. This document sets out good practice
31、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 private tendering, and to procedures in institutions. This standard is part o
32、f 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 conservation of cultural heritage. BS EN 16853:2017EN 16853:2017 (E) 5 1 Scope T
