EN 16141:2012 (E) 4 Introduction The importance of preserving and transmitting cultural heritage under the best conditions is imperative for all, but is of upmost importance for cultural heritage institutions. They have the responsibility of preserving, presenting and developing spaces dedicated to the public or reserved for collections. Stored collections have often remained inaccessible to the public but increasingly there is an expectation that collections should be accessible even when not on display, either for the general viewing public or for controlled research and collection management activities. To meet this demand, dedicated facilities are being developed to allow access and research. These "Open Storage Facilities" or "Collection Centres" place new demands on cultural heritage institutions and this guidance document is intended to assist institutions by describing common best practice in the design and function of such facilities. Open Storage Facilities have four main purposes:  to fulfil the requirements of conservation;  to facilitate access to the collections;  to allow for the management of collections;  to provide a secure place for the safekeeping of collections. This standard may be used for designing new open storage facilities or for the improvement of existing storage facilities. The concept of open storage facilities is general. It relates to places gathering the functions defined in this standard belonging to any type of institutions (archives, libraries, archaeological deposits, museums,…) dedicated to the safekeeping of any type of collection (archives, books, archaeological items, etc…) SIST EN 16141:2014

Such premises constitute a set of areas isolated from each other but interdependent and organised according to use. Open storage facilities have four principal functions: a) permanent and temporary storage of objects; b) collection management: study of the collections, display, consultation, and scientific examination; some of these functions require areas dedicated to public access; c) collection services: movement, packing/unpacking, workshops, and sometimes treatment of the collection; d) facilities management (e.g. security system, alarm control unit, and plant room). The purpose is to offer the best conditions of collections conservation and management. However, all functions of an open storage facility do not necessarily require their own specific area. 4.2 Storage A clear and rational organisation of the collections is important as well as policies and procedures for managing operations. A balance should be maintained between security of collections and access. Collections are arranged in spaces which are exclusively devoted to them. These areas constitute the central and vital core of the open storage facilities. Safety and security, climate control, fire prevention and other preventive measures require attention. Storage areas should be protected from risks of natural disasters. They should be kept dark, except when lighting is required for access. They should be equipped with fire detectors, sensors reacting to dampness and pest monitors. The distribution of the collections in storage areas should follow these principles:  stable environmental conditions adapted to the requirements of the various collections;  the placement of storage units such as shelves, cabinets, etc., should be appropriate to the collections, ensuring easy and effective access to objects and secure handling of artefacts. Storage furniture should be designed according to the characteristics and conservation requirements of the collections and the activities of the institution. It should be designed to allow easy maintenance of the area and facilitate the movement of people and collections without risk. The furniture arrangement should facilitate cleaning of the floor. Storage areas and furniture should be able to adapt to the growth of the collections without risks to safety and security. SIST EN 16141:2014
