The board is responsible for examining results of activities specified in Clause 2 of this Article. Working results of the board shall be made into records.

- Cover areas of the structural components that are to be repaired to ensure safety;

- List signs of structural components on the drawings and mark structural components of the relics with corresponding signs. Signs marked on the structural components must not influence characteristics and value of the structural components, must be protected throughout the repair process and easily removed once finishing the repair. Take photos and record images after marking structural components with signs;

- Cooperate with developers, organizations providing design consultancy and Community investment supervision boards in confirming technical conditions of the structural components;

- Execute relic repair according to approved design of relic repair drawings.

- List signs of structural components on the drawings and mark structural components of the relics with corresponding signs. Signs marked on the structural components must not influence characteristics and value of the structural components, must be protected throughout the repair process and easily removed once finishing the repair. Take photos and record images after marking structural components with signs;

- Deconstruct the relics as specified in Article 17 of this Circular;

2. Before the deconstruction, structural components must be photographed, recorded in terms of images and marked according to list of signs on the drawings; prepare measures to deconstruct and areas for consolidation in the storage.

3. During the deconstruction, structural components located in such positions that pose risks of being destroyed must be temporarily protected and reinforced, and appropriate transport methods must be prepared.

4. After the deconstruction, structural components must be overall cleaned, classified and arranged in the storage.
