BS EN 16893:2018 gives specifications and guidance for the location, construction and
arrangement of building specifically intended for internal storage of all heritage collection types and
formats.
This standard applies to buildings where collections are housed permanently and can be used as
guidance for shorter-term display spaces where appropriate. Throughout the document, where
specifications relate exclusively to storage spaces, these are defined as such. Where specifications can
also be applied to areas such as display galleries or reading rooms, these applications are referred to
explicitly.
Clauses relating to risks associated with security, environmental hazards, fire, water and pests apply to
buildings as a whole and to any room in which collections may be held.
Some of the clauses in this standard may be applicable in protected historic buildings that contain
collections. In these settings, the scope for any alterations or achievement of conditions suitable for
collections may be limited by the historic character of the structure, especially where it is protected by
heritage regulations.
