scope:

This European Standard gives guidelines for a condition survey of an immovable cultural heritage object. It states how an immovable cultural heritage object should be registered, examined, documented and reported on. This condition survey is of a general nature and consists in the evaluation of the state of preservation by visual observations, combined, as required, by simple measurements. Relevant data and documentation on the object should be collected and included in the report. This standard can be applied to all immovable cultural heritage objects such as buildings, ruins, terrain walls, bridges, etc. This standard does not specify how to carry out a complete diagnosis (2.7) of the built heritage. For listed/protected immovable heritage specific national rules for expert documentation and works may apply.
