EN 16648:2015 (E) 4 Introduction Increases in the worldwide mobility of cultural heritage and the emergence of new participants have had significant consequences on packing and transport. In previous years there have been several initiatives to regulate all aspects of collection mobility. Therefore the need to structure and harmonize packing and transport practices and to define responsibilities has become more important than ever. Transportation of cultural heritage requires an appropriate range of knowledge, skills and competencies of those involved in the process. This European Standard is the result of a collaboration of a large range of professionals from most European countries. It is intended for all parties involved in the transport of cultural heritage. This European Standard defines the successive steps of moving objects, using relevant means of transport. This European Standard lists requirements (the word shall is used) and provides recommendations (the word should is used) for the safe and secure transport of cultural heritage. SIST EN 16648:2015

EN 16648:2015 (E) 7 5 General principles Several parties can be involved in the organization of the transport of an object among which the following ones have a key role: — the owner/custodian and/or his representative; — the consignor; — the commissioner; — the transport agent; — the consignee. In some cases, a single party can play different roles in the chain of transport. All parties involved shall comply with national and international law and regulations. Sustainability should be taken into account when using this standard. Transport shall only take place following an agreement between the owner/custodian, the commissioner, the transport agent and confirmed in writing. Many different parties can be involved in arranging and undertaking transportation. The role and the responsibility of each party shall be clarified in advance and each party shall have a clear understanding of each other's role. Responsibility for the object(s) shall be clear at all stages of the transport. The choice of the transport agent and his subcontractors shall be approved by the owner/custodian. Other involved parties (e.g. insurers) may request involvement in the decision. The commissioner shall ensure that the transport agent has access to all information and documentation necessary to carry out the requested service. All parties involved in the transport shall keep each other informed of developments in the operation until completion. Any damage or incident shall be recorded and relevant documents completed. All involved parties shall be immediately informed. Confidentiality shall be taken into account by all parties at all stages. Evaluation of the transport may be carried out during and at the very end of the process. All relevant documents shall be archived according to legal requirements. 6 Before transport 6.1 Risk assessment Any transport of an object involves risks. The planning of the transport shall begin with the assessment of these risks, in order to choose the mode of transport appropriate to the particular situation, to take necessary measures to avoid damage to the object(s) and whether to send a courier (see Annex A). The risk assessment of a transport is based on the characteristics of the object (see EN 15946:2011, 5.1.2 “Risks related to the object”) and issues related to moving (see EN 15946:2011, 5.1.3 “Risks related to moving cultural property”).

EN 16648:2015 (E) 8 The choice of the mode of transport shall take into account all requirements. This decision should be approved by all parties involved. The significance of the object(s) shall be taken into account when planning shipments. Separate shipments may be required by the owner/custodian. Where insurance or indemnity terms specify a limit on the value of a single shipment this shall be adhered to. 6.2 Qualifications of the transport agent The transport agent shall have the solvency, resources, capacity, knowledge, training, qualifications, technical expertise and management capabilities required for delivering a safe and secure, high quality and specialized transport service for cultural heritage.

Transport planning shall be in accordance with the specifications provided by the commissioner. Transport planning shall take into account the following: a) the routing (e.g. access at collection and delivery points, size of vehicle, load plans); b) any insurance/indemnity terms and conditions; c) all human and material resources needed at each stage of transport; d) transshipment and scheduled stops. The transport agent should appoint a coordinator with the appropriate experience and provide backup cover as necessary. The transport agent and the commissioner shall maintain regular communication and keep each other fully informed of relevant issues. 6.5 Insurance / indemnity cover The commissioner and the owner/custodian shall inform the transport agent the start and end dates of cover and all insurance/indemnity conditions relevant to the shipment. The transport agent shall organize transport within those dates. Insurance/indemnity shall be in place before handling begins. The insurer has the right to ask for the name of the transport agent and the chosen transport methods. 6.6 Drafting of a contract A contract shall be formalized between the transport agent and the commissioner in accordance with the transport arrangements. It should be in writing and signed before the beginning of the service. SIST EN 16648:2015
