Codes of ethics in conservation-restoration

Summary/Abstract: The formulation of the first codes of ethics in conservation-restoration since the second half of the twentieth century occurred against the background of the awareness of the need to strengthen confidence in the profession by imposing sets of norms of conduct on professionals in the field. The codes of ethics express fundamental principles of a general nature that guide the ethical behaviour of conservators-restorers in all aspects related to the practice of the profession. Usually accompanied by guidelines, codes or standards of practice, comments to standards, these documents are perfectible due to the need to reflect the changes in the development of the field. This article briefly presents the history of the development of codes of ethics developed by professional organizations in the field of cultural heritage conservation, a comparative analysis of the format and content of the revised variants, as well as some critical references related to their content.
