Conservation of Cultural Heritage - Guidelines and procedures for choosing appropriate lighting for indoor exhibitions
This Technical Specification defines the procedures as well as the means to implement adequate lighting, with regard to the conservation policy. It takes visual, exhibition and conservation aspects into account and it also discusses the implications of the lighting design on the safeguarding of cultural property. This Technical Specification gives recommendations on values of minimum and maximum illumination levels. It aims to provide a tool for setting up a common European policy and a guide to help curators, conservators and project managers to assess the correct lighting that can assure the safeguarding of the exhibits. This Technical Specification covers lighting for heritage objects on exhibition in both public and private sites and does not consider lighting in other cultural heritage contexts such as open-air collections, etc.
Erhaltung des kulturellen Erbes - Leitlinien und Verfahren für die Auswahl geeigneter Beleuchtung für Innenausstellungen
In der vorliegenden Technischen Spezifikation werden die Verfahrensweisen und Hilfsmittel zur Einführung einer unter dem Gesichtspunkt der Erhaltung angemessenen Beleuchtung festgelegt. Visuelle Aspekte, Ausstellungs- und Konservierungsaspekte werden berücksichtigt, die Auswirkungen der Beleuchtungsgestaltung auf die Bewahrung von Kulturgut werden erörtert. Es werden Empfehlungen für Mindest- und Höchstwerte des Beleuchtungsniveaus aufgeführt. Ziel ist die Bereitstellung eines Instrumentes für die Aufstellung gemeinsamer europäischer Grundsätze und einer Anleitung, die Kuratoren, Konservatoren und Projektleitern dabei hilft, eine fachgerechte und die Exponate erhaltende Beleuchtung zu bestimmen. Die vorliegende Technische Spezifikation deckt die Beleuchtung von Objekten des kulturellen Erbes in öffentlichen und privaten Ausstellungsstätten ab. Beleuchtungen in anderen Zusammenhängen von kulturellem Erbe, wie z. B. Ausstellungen unter freiem Himmel usw., werden nicht berücksichtigt.
Conservation du patrimoine culturel - Lignes directrices et procédures concernant le choix d'un éclairage adapté pour les expositions en intérieur
La présente Spécification technique définit les procédures ainsi que les méthodes de mise en œuvre d'un éclairage adapté, conforme à la politique de conservation. Elle tient compte des paramètres de vision, d'exposition et de conservation, et traite également des répercussions de la conception de l'éclairage sur la sauvegarde des biens culturels. La présente Spécification technique établit 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. La présente Spécification technique 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 dans d'autres contextes de patrimoine culturel, tels que les collections en plein air, etc.
Ohranjanje kulturne dediščine - Smernice in postopki za izbiro ustrezne razsvetljave za razstave v zaprtih prostorih
CEN/TS 16163 določa postopke in načine uporabe ustrezne razsvetljave v skladu s politiko ohranjanja. Upošteva vizualne, razstavne vidike in vidike ohranjanja ter obravnava posledice načrtovanja razsvetljave na ohranjanje kulturne dediščine. Ta tehnična specifikacija daje priporočila glede največje in najmanjše ravni osvetljenosti. Prizadeva si zagotoviti orodje za oblikovanje skupne evropske politike in vodnika za pomoč kuratorjem, konservatorjem in vodjem projektov pri ocenjevanju ustrezne razsvetljave, ki bi zagotovila ohranjanje eksponatov. Ta tehnična specifikacija obravnava razsvetljavo predmetov kulturne dediščine, ki so razstavljeni v javnih in zasebnih prostorih, ter ne vključuje razsvetljave v drugih okoliščinah kulturne dediščine, kot so razstave na prostem itd.

Introduction
Lighting is needed for many specific functions in museums and other cultural heritage buildings, for example,
for research, conservation and permanent or temporary exhibitions. Lighting is one of the most important
factors enabling visitors to fully enjoy works of art and other cultural property. In fact, lighting is a key medium
in which visitors interpret and appreciate cultural heritage. Enough light is needed to see well but this may
present a challenge when what is being viewed will deteriorate in the presence of light. Where cultural
heritage is judged to be worth preserving for future generations it is essential to consider the controlled use of
light. Indeed, light is an environmental factor, which is a threat to many objects. Alone or in combination with
other environmental factors (temperature, humidity, pollution, etc.) light causes fading, discoloration and
embrittlement of a wide range of materials. This damage is cumulative and irreversible: no conservation
treatment can restore change of colour or loss in strength of materials damaged by light. Therefore, the
challenge of museum exhibition lighting is to find an appropriate compromise between the long term
preservation of the exhibit and the needs of visitors to view them within a suitable exhibition design. As an
integral part of exhibition lighting, the following aspects should be considered:
— the conservation aspect, related to the sensitivity of the exhibit at different wavelengths of the incident
radiant energy, the spectral composition of the light source and the total luminous exposure,
— the visual aspect, related to the impact of lighting on the visitor experience: lighting has to allow visitors to
see exhibits on display, with the correct colour perceptions without glare, reflections or insufficient
illumination,
— the design aspect related to the concept and position of the exhibition architecture, the point of view of
the curator and all others involved in the scenographic and/or didactic objectives of the exhibition.
Due to its non-technical nature the last mentioned aspect cannot be dealt with in this Technical Specification.
This Technical Specification uses terms defined in European (EN 12665 and EN 15898) and International
(CIE International lighting vocabulary) terminology standards, but their definitions have been adapted to the
intended users of this specification.
