This document specifies field procedures to be adopted when determining and evaluating the precision (repeatability) of rotating lasers and their ancillary equipment when used in building and surveying measurements for levelling tasks. Primarily, these tests are intended to be field verifications of the suitability of a particular instrument for the immediate task at hand and to satisfy the requirements of other standards. They are not proposed as tests for acceptance or performance evaluations that are more comprehensive in nature. This document can be considered as one of the first steps in the process of evaluating the uncertainty of a measurement (more specifically a measurand). The uncertainty of a result of a measurement is dependent on a number of parameters. Therefore this document differentiates between different measures of accuracy and objectives in testing, like repeatability and reproducibility (between-day repeatability), and of course gives a thorough assessment of all possible error sources, as prescribed by ISO/IEC Guide 98‑3 and ISO 17123‑1. These field procedures have been developed specifically for in situ applications without the need for special ancillary equipment and are purposefully designed to minimize atmospheric influences.

This document specifies a formalism for the calculation of the illuminant metamerism of solid surface colours. It cannot be applied to colours of effect coatings without metrical adaptation.
This document only covers the phenomenon of metamerism for change of illuminant, which has the greatest meaning in practical application. In the case of chromaticity coordinates of a pair of samples under reference conditions that do not exactly match, recommendations are given on which correction measures are to be taken. Regarding the reproduction of colours, the metamerism index is used as a measure of quality in order to specify tolerances for colour differences between a colour sample and a colour match under different illumination conditions.
The quantification of the illuminant metamerism of pairs of samples is formally performed by a colour difference assessment, for which tolerances that are common for the evaluation of residual colour differences can be used.
NOTE    In the colorimetric literature and textbooks, the term geometric metamerism is sometimes used for the case that two colours appear to be the same under a specific geometry for visual assessment and selected standard observer and standard illuminant pair, but is perceived as two different colours at changed observation geometry. The term geometric metamerism is different to metamerism described in this document.

This part of EN 13523 specifies procedures for determining the instrumental colour difference (CIELAB) of an organic coating on a metallic substrate.
Establishing a standard as well as the magnitude of an acceptable colour difference are not covered by this method.
Two appropriate methods are given in this part of EN 13523:
a)   instrumental colour difference measurement using a tristimulus colorimeter;
b)   instrumental colour difference measurement using a spectrophotometer or equivalent.
Care shall be taken when measuring e.g.
-   textured surfaces;
-   fluorescent coatings;
-   metameric coatings;
-   multi-coloured, pearlescent, metallic or special colour effect coatings.
In order to determine whether metamerism is present, the metamerism index is determined (see EN 13523-15) and/or a visual examination (see EN 13523-22) is performed with different artificial light sources.

This document specifies the monitoring of mechanical tests and inspections performed both at the material (coupon) and at the structural scale by the implementation of kinematic field measurements by digital image correlation. This document describes an in situ method for evaluating the metrological performance of an extensometer system using image correlation for the delivery of displacement fields, and by extrapolation, of deformation fields. It can be implemented prior to the actual start of the test (or inspection). It will inform of the metrological performance in testing conditions.
This document allows the metrological performance of the measuring technology to be quantified. The methodology described herein is not to be considered as a calibration step. This reference document does not exhaustively specify the constitutive elements of a generic system of Digital Image Correlation measurement. This reference does not address the measurement of 3D shapes via stereocorrelation systems.

This International Standard describes requirements for tooth-like colour representations made of
ceramic materials used to determine the tooth colour in the patient’s mouth or to check the colour of
dental prosthesis, which are referred to as shade guides (colour rings) in this standard.
The coordinates of tooth colours in the colour space (colour coordinates) the specification of which is left
to the manufacturers’ discretion as well as the colour deviations of ceramic and other masses or materials
used in the manufacture of dental prosthesis do not fall into the scope of this standard.
Resources for visualizing the colours of ceramic and other masses, e.g. mass shade guides and colour
patterns for certain ceramic and other masses, do not fall into the scope of this International Standard.
They can be manufactured from any materials and serve solely to illustrate the colour effect; they do not
serve colour determination inside the mouth.

IEC 61966-12-1:2020 is available as IEC 61966-12-1:2020 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.
IEC 61966-12-1:2020 defines the colour gamut metadata scheme for video systems and similar applications. The metadata can be associated with wide-gamut video colour content or to a piece of equipment to display the content. When associated with content, the colour gamut metadata defines the gamut for which the content was created. It can be used by the display for controlled colour reproduction even if the display’s colour gamut is different from that of the content. When associated with a display, the colour gamut metadata defines the display colour gamut. It can be used during content creation to enable improved colour reproduction. The colour gamut metadata can cover associated colour encoding information, which includes all information required for a controlled colour reproduction, when such information is not provided by the colour encoding specification. The colour gamut metadata scheme provides scalable solutions. For example, more flexible solutions will be used for the professional use, while much simpler solutions will be used for consumer use with easier product implementation. This part of IEC 61966 only defines the colour gamut metadata scheme. Vendor-specific solutions for creation and end-use of this metadata are allowed. IEC 61966-12-1:2020 cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2011. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) ITU-R BT.2020 colour spaces added in Clause 6;
b) ITU-R BT.2100 colour spaces added in Clause 6.

ISO 18619 specifies a procedure, including computation, by which a transform between ICC profiles can be adjusted (compensated) to take into account differences between the dark end of the source colour space and the dark end of the destination colour space. This is referred to as black point compensation (BPC). The relative colorimetric encoding of ICC profile transforms already provides a mechanism for such adjustment of the light (white) end of the tone scale.

This document specifies colour-matching functions for use in colorimetry. Two sets of colour-matching functions are specified.
—         Colour-matching functions for the CIE 1931 standard colorimetric observer.
This set of colour-matching functions is representative of the colour-matching properties of observers with normal colour vision for visual field sizes of angular subtense from about 1° to about 4°, for vision at photopic levels of adaptation.
—         Colour-matching functions for the CIE 1964 standard colorimetric observer.
This set of colour-matching functions is representative of the colour-matching properties of observers with normal colour vision for visual field sizes of angular subtense greater than about 4°, for vision at sufficiently high photopic levels and with spectral power distributions such that no participation of the rod receptors of the retina is to be expected.

This document specifies methods of calculating the tristimulus values of colour stimuli for which the spectral distributions are provided. These colour stimuli can be produced by self-luminous light sources or by reflecting or transmitting objects.
This document requires that the colour stimulus function be tabulated at measurement intervals of 5 nm or less in a wavelength range of at least 380 nm to 780 nm. Extrapolation methods are suggested for cases where the measured wavelength range is less than 380 nm to 780 nm.
The standard method is defined as summation at 1 nm intervals over the wavelength range from 360 nm to 830 nm. Alternative abridged methods are defined for larger intervals (up to 5 nm) and shorter ranges (down to 380 nm to 780 nm). The alternative methods are to be used only when appropriate and when the user has reviewed the impact on the final results.
This document can be used in conjunction with the CIE 1931 standard colorimetric observer or the CIE 1964 standard colorimetric observer.

This document specifies a method of calculating the coordinates of the CIE 1976 L*a*b* colour space, including correlates of lightness, chroma and hue. It includes two methods for calculating Euclidean distances in this space to represent the perceived magnitude of colour differences.
This document is applicable to tristimulus values calculated using colour-matching functions of the CIE 1931 standard colorimetric system or the CIE 1964 standard colorimetric system. This document can be used for the specification of colour stimuli perceived as belonging to a reflecting or transmitting object, where a three-dimensional space more uniform than tristimulus space is required.
This document does not apply to colour stimuli perceived as belonging to an area that appears to be emitting light as a primary light source, or that appears to be specularly reflecting such light.
This document is applicable to self-luminous displays, such as cathode ray tubes, if they are being used to simulate reflecting or transmitting objects and if the stimuli are appropriately normalized.
Calculating the reverse transformation is shown in Annex A.

frequency comb as an internal reference. It is applicable to instruments measuring the optical
frequency emitted from sources that are typical for the fibre-optic communications industry. It
is assumed that the optical radiation will be coupled to the optical frequency meter by a singlemode
optical fibre. This document is part of the IEC 62129 series on the calibration of
wavelength/optical frequency measurement instruments. Refer to IEC 621291
[3] for the
calibration of optical spectrum analyzers, and refer to IEC 62129-2 [4] for calibration of
Michelson interferometer single wavelength meters.

This document specifies a method of calculating the coordinates of the CIE 1976 L*a*b* colour space,
including correlates of lightness, chroma and hue. It includes two methods for calculating Euclidean
distances in this space to represent the perceived magnitude of colour differences.
This document is applicable to tristimulus values calculated using colour-matching functions of the
CIE 1931 standard colorimetric system or the CIE 1964 standard colorimetric system. This document
can be used for the specification of colour stimuli perceived as belonging to a reflecting or transmitting
object, where a three-dimensional space more uniform than tristimulus space is required.
This document does not apply to colour stimuli perceived as belonging to an area that appears to be
emitting light as a primary light source, or that appears to be specularly reflecting such light.
This document is applicable to self-luminous displays, such as cathode ray tubes, if they are being used
to simulate reflecting or transmitting objects and if the stimuli are appropriately normalized.
Calculating the reverse transformation is shown in Annex A.

This document specifies colour-matching functions for use in colorimetry. Two sets of colour-matching
functions are specified.
a) Colour-matching functions for the CIE 1931 standard colorimetric observer.
This set of colour-matching functions is representative of the colour-matching properties of
observers with normal colour vision for visual field sizes of angular subtense from about 1° to
about 4°, for vision at photopic levels of adaptation.
b) Colour-matching functions for the CIE 1964 standard colorimetric observer.
This set of colour-matching functions is representative of the colour-matching properties of
observers with normal colour vision for visual field sizes of angular subtense greater than about
4°, for vision at sufficiently high photopic levels and with spectral power distributions such that no
participation of the rod receptors of the retina is to be expected.

This document specifies methods of calculating the tristimulus values of colour stimuli for which
the spectral distributions are provided. These colour stimuli can be produced by self-luminous light
sources or by reflecting or transmitting objects.
This document requires that the colour stimulus function be tabulated at measurement intervals of
5 nm or less in a wavelength range of at least 380 nm to 780 nm. Extrapolation methods are suggested
for cases where the measured wavelength range is less than 380 nm to 780 nm.
The standard method is defined as summation at 1 nm intervals over the wavelength range from 360 nm
to 830 nm. Alternative abridged methods are defined for larger intervals (up to 5 nm) and shorter
ranges (down to 380 nm to 780 nm). The alternative methods are to be used only when appropriate and
when the user has reviewed the impact on the final results.
This document can be used in conjunction with the CIE 1931 standard colorimetric observer or the
CIE 1964 standard colorimetric observer.

This document specifies general optical test methods for the measurement of the relative irradiance in the image field. This document is applicable to optical imaging systems in the optical spectral region from λ = 100 nm to λ = 1 μm. Theoretical reflections and the comparison with the calculation apply only to optical systems. This document is applicable to rotationally invariant and rotationally variant systems; anamorphic systems, for example, are included. Telescopic systems are also included. The title of this document refers to the relative irradiance in the image field, but this document is also applicable to determination of the relative radiant power. NOTE For telescopic systems, it is suitable to state only the radiant power; for most imaging systems, the conversion from radiant power to irradiance is easy. As far as measurements are concerned, this document is also applicable to electro-optical systems. The two methods described differ particularly in the influence of veiling glare.

This document specifies field procedures for determining and evaluating the precision (repeatability) of terrestrial laser scanners and their ancillary equipment when used in building, civil engineering and surveying measurements. Primarily, these tests are intended to be field verifications of the suitability of a particular instrument for the immediate task at hand, and to satisfy the requirements of other standards. They are not proposed as tests for acceptance or performance evaluations that are more comprehensive in nature. This document can be thought of as one of the first steps in the process of evaluating the uncertainty of measurements (more specifically of measurands).

ISO 18314-1:2015 specifies the method for determining the colour coordinates of a paint film. This method is only applicable to paint films that appear to be uniformly of one colour, i.e. monochromatic, when examined with normal vision. Paint films that do not completely hide a non-transparent substrate represent an opaque system and can be measured by using the procedure in this part of ISO 18314.
Luminescent paint films, transparent paint films, and translucent paint films (for example for display or lamp glass), retroreflecting paint films (for example for traffic signs), and metallic paint films are outside the scope of this part of ISO 18314.

This European Standard specifies the required data for lamps and luminaires for the verification of conformity to the requirements of EN 12464-1 and EN 12464-2. It also specifies data that are commonly used for lighting of indoor and outdoor work places. When these data are provided, they should conform to this document.
An increasing number of luminaires mainly those with LED are luminaires with non-replaceable light sources. Therefore data should always be given for luminaires. For luminaires with replaceable lamps, lamp data should also be provided.
NOTE   Product, safety and performance data can be found in CENELEC documents (see Bibliography).
