Conservation of Cultural Heritage - Guidelines and procedures for choosing appropriate lighting for indoor exhibitions

Le présent document définit les procédures ainsi que les méthodes de mise en oeuvre d'un éclairage adapté, conforme à la politique de conservation. Il tient compte de l'aspect visuel et des questions d'exposition et de conservation, et traite des répercussions de la conception de l'éclairage sur la sauvegarde des biens culturels. Il donne des recommandations quant aux niveaux d'éclairement minimal et maximal. Son objectif est de fournir un outil pour élaborer une politique européenne commune, et un guide pour aider les conservateurs, les restaurateurs et les chargés de projet à évaluer l'éclairage idéal à même d'assurer la sauvegarde des objets exposés. Le présent document traite de l'éclairage dans le cadre de l'exposition de biens culturels sur des sites publics et privés, mais ne couvre pas l'éclairage du patrimoine culturel dans d'autres contextes, tels que les collections en plein air, etc.

ZOOM ON ... the Requirements department

To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.

The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
