This standard is part of a series of standards being developed by CEN/TC 346. It provides terms and their definitions for a set of general concepts which are widely used by those working in the field of conservation of tangible cultural heritage. Its purpose is to bring greater understanding and encourage collaboration
amongst those who have responsibility for or an interest in cultural heritage. The need for such agreement and clarification in the use of conservation words — to avoid confusion, to ensure that what one person means by a word corresponds with what another person understands — has become increasingly
recognized in recent years1. The definition of the terms here will also help to ensure consistent use of words and concepts within the other CEN/TC 346 conservation standards which define only those terms specific to each individual standard.Cross References:EN 16853EN ISO 9706:1998EN 16096EN 16790NF Z 40-011:2005EN 16095ISO 10241-1:2011EN 1990:2002ISO 13822:2010ISO 11799:2015BS 4971:2017ISO 704:2009BS 7913:2013ISO 16245:2009ISO 5127:2017PAS 197:2009ISO 11798:1999All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
