Overview

This European Standard gives guidance and specifies procedures and instruments for the measurement of relative humidity (RH) in air, in outdoor or indoor environments. It indicates how RH can be directly measured or how it can be calculated from air temperature, wet-bulb temperature and dew-point temperature. This standard contains recommendations for accurate measurements of ambient conditions and moisture exchanges between air and cultural heritage objects. It is addressed to anyone in charge of environmental diagnosis, conservation or maintenance of buildings, collections or single objects. The committee responsible for the German collaboration at DIN, the German Institute for Standardization e. V., is Working Committee NA 005-01-36 AA "Erhaltung des kulturellen Erbes" ("Conservation of cultural properties") of the Building and Civil Engineering Standards Committee (NABau) acting as Mirror Committee of CEN/TC 346.
