Conservation of cultural heritage - Procedure for the analytical evaluation to select cleaning methods for porous inorganic materials used in cultural heritage

This document gives the test methodology for evaluation of both harmfulness and effectiveness of a cleaning method as applied to porous inorganic materials. Mural paintings and polychromy are excluded.
Evaluation includes the use of on-site analyses and/or laboratory studies.
The evaluation of the potential harm has a higher priority than the effectiveness in order to prevent overcleaning. It is important that cleaning is always at the minimum level deemed effective and that it respects the original surface and finishes. Overcleaning is a term used to indicate that irreversible damage has been done by the unnecessary removal of materials, which are part of the value of the object.
This document applies to:
a) Part A: all methods of cleaning, which have characteristics of parameterization and reproducibility (see EN 17138).
b) Part B: all new methods that are under development.
This document applies to evaluate the optimum methods for cleaning and the optimization of the parameters of the selected cleaning process.

Erhaltung des kulturellen Erbes — Methodologie für die analytische Prüfung zur Auswahl von Reinigungsverfahren von porösen anorganischen Objekten des kulturellen Erbes

Dieses Dokument enthält das Prüfverfahren zur Bewertung der Schädlichkeit sowie der Wirksamkeit eines Reinigungsverfahrens, das auf porösen anorganischen Materialien angewendet wird. Wandmalereien und Polychromie sind hiervon ausgenommen.
Die Bewertung umfasst die Durchführung von Analysen vor Ort und/oder Untersuchungen im Labor.
Die Bewertung des möglichen Schadens hat eine höhere Priorität als die Wirksamkeit, um eine Überreinigung zu vermeiden. Es ist wichtig, dass die Reinigung stets auf dem niedrigsten Niveau erfolgt, das als wirksam erachtet wird, und dass sie unter Berücksichtigung der ursprünglichen Oberfläche und Beschichtungen erfolgt. Überreinigung ist ein Begriff, der darauf hinweist, dass durch die unnötige Entfernung von Materialien, die zum Wert des Objekts beitragen, irreversible Schäden entstanden sind.
Dieses Dokument gilt für:
a) Teil A: alle Reinigungsverfahren, die Merkmale der Parametrisierung und Reproduzierbarkeit aufweisen (siehe EN 17138);
b) Teil B: alle neuartigen Verfahren, die sich in der Entwicklung befinden.
Dieses Dokument dient der Bewertung der optimalen Reinigungsverfahren und der Optimierung der Parameter von ausgewählten Reinigungsprozessen.

Conservation du patrimoine culturel - Procédure pour l'évaluation analytique et le choix des méthodes de nettoyage des matériaux inorganiques poreux dans les bâtiments d'intérêt patrimonial

Le présent document présente la méthodologie d'essai utilisée pour l'évaluation de la dangerosité et de l'efficacité d'une méthode de nettoyage appliquée aux matériaux inorganiques poreux. Les peintures murales et la polychromie sont exclues.
L'évaluation inclut l'utilisation d'analyses sur site et/ou d'études en laboratoire.
Afin d'éviter tout nettoyage excessif, l'évaluation du dommage potentiel est prioritaire sur l'efficacité. Il est important que le nettoyage soit effectué au niveau minimal jugé efficace et qu'il respecte la surface d'origine et les couches de finition. Le nettoyage excessif est un terme utilisé pour indiquer qu'un dommage irréversible a été causé par l'élimination non nécessaire de matériaux constitutifs de la valeur du bien.
Le présent document s'applique à :
a) Partie A : toutes les méthodes de nettoyage présentant des caractéristiques de paramétrage et de reproductibilité (voir l'EN 17138) ;
b) Partie B : toutes les nouvelles méthodes en cours de développement.
Le présent document s'applique à l'évaluation des meilleures méthodes de nettoyage ainsi que l'optimisation des paramètres du processus de nettoyage choisi.
