Conservation of Cultural Heritage - Specifications for location, construction and modification of buildings or rooms intended for the storage or use of heritage collections
This draft European Standard gives specifications and guidance for the location, construction or adaptation of any form of building, or spaces within an existing building, specifically intended for internal storage and use of all heritage collection types and formats (where use includes display or handling, etc.).
Clauses relating to risks associated with security, environmental hazards, fire, water and pests apply to buildings as a whole and to any room in which collections may be held. This standard applies to buildings where collections are housed permanently and can be used as guidance for shorter-term display spaces where appropriate.
Some of the clauses in this standard are applicable in protected historic buildings that contain collections. In these settings, the scope for any alterations or achievement of conditions suitable for collections may be limited by the historic character of the structure.
This draft European Standard should be seen as supplementary to national or local building regulations and specifications.

EN 16893:2018 (E) 5 European foreword This document (EN 16893:2018) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 346 “Conservation of Cultural Heritage”, the secretariat of which is held by UNI. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by August 2018, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by August 2018. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom. SIST EN 16893:2018
EN 16893:2018 (E) 6 Introduction Cultural heritage collections are intended to be kept for future as well as current generations. Their long-term conservation can only be achieved if the sites and buildings that house them support this goal and do not place them at risk. Building features that are intended to protect collections are primarily structural, involving resilience against external and internal hazards including fire, water, pests, criminal activity and environments that interact with heritage materials. Environmental considerations for collections are influenced by the nature of their materials, their condition and the uses to which they are put. They are also influenced by policies relating to conservation objectives, such as longevity of collections, and by the nature and costs of energy required to achieve these objectives. This standard assists custodians of cultural heritage collections by defining the criteria and information necessary to make policy relating to conservation that will in turn influence the outcome of building construction. It is also intended to help them define the specifications necessary for the construction or modification of buildings such that they can safely house collections. These specifications should be used by architects, engineers and others responsible for the design and construction of new archives, libraries and museums, or modifying spaces within existing buildings for these purposes. These specifications might not be applicable in historic buildings which may also contain cultural heritage objects, e.g. churches. SIST EN 16893:2018
EN 16893:2018 (E) 7 1 Scope This European Standard gives specifications and guidance for the location, construction and arrangement of building specifically intended for internal storage of all heritage collection types and formats. This standard applies to buildings where collections are housed permanently and can be used as guidance for shorter-term display spaces where appropriate. Throughout the document, where specifications relate exclusively to storage spaces, these are defined as such. Where specifications can also be applied to areas such as display galleries or reading rooms, these applications are referred to explicitly. Clauses relating to risks associated with security, environmental hazards, fire, water and pests apply to buildings as a whole and to any room in which collections may be held. Some of the clauses in this standard may be applicable in protected historic buildings that contain collections. In these settings, the scope for any alterations or achievement of conditions suitable for collections may be limited by the historic character of the structure, especially where it is protected by heritage regulations. NOTE This standard covers the structure of buildings containing heritage collections, whether for storage or use. For a description of technical processing spaces recommended in the design specifically of a storage building open to the public, attention is drawn to EN 16141. This standard should be seen as complementary to national or local building regulations and specifications. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

Introduction
Cultural heritage collections are intended to be kept indefinitely, for the benefit of future as well as current
generations. Their long-term conservation can only be achieved if the sites and buildings that house them
support this goal and do not place them at risk. Building features that are intended to protect collections
are primarily structural, involving resilience against external and internal hazards including fire, water,
pests, criminal activity and environments that interact with heritage materials.
Environmental considerations for collections are influenced by the nature of their materials, their condition
and the uses to which they are put. They are also influenced by policies relating to conservation
objectives, such as longevity of collections, and by the nature and costs of energy required to achieve
these objectives. This draft standard assists custodians of cultural heritage collections by defining the
criteria and information necessary to make policy relating to conservation that will in turn influence the
outcome of building construction. It is also intended to help them define the specifications necessary for
the construction or modification of buildings such that they can safely house collections. These
specifications should be used by architects, engineers and others responsible for the design and
construction of new archives, libraries and museums, or modifying spaces within existing buildings for
these purposes.
Furthermore, two new standards/guidelines are under development in CEN/TC 346 that will add to this
standard:
— Conservation of Cultural Heritage — Risk assessment methodology for movable cultural heritage;
— Conservation of Cultural Heritage — Emergency and contingency plan.

1 Scope
This draft European Standard gives specifications and guidance for the location, construction or
adaptation of any form of building, or spaces within an existing building, specifically intended for internal
storage and use of all heritage collection types and formats (where use includes display or handling, etc.).
Clauses relating to risks associated with security, environmental hazards, fire, water and pests apply to
buildings as a whole and to any room in which collections may be held. This standard applies to buildings
where collections are housed permanently and can be used as guidance for shorter-term display spaces
where appropriate.
Some of the clauses in this standard are applicable in protected historic buildings that contain collections.
In these settings, the scope for any alterations or achievement of conditions suitable for collections may
be limited by the historic character of the structure.
This draft European Standard should be seen as supplementary to national or local building regulations
and specifications.
