FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 61966-2-5 has been prepared by technical area 2: Colour
measurement and management, of IEC technical committee 100: Audio, video and multimedia

INTRODUCTION
The colour gamut for various image I/O devices has been gradually extended in recent years.
IEC 61966-2-1 “Multimedia Systems and Equipment – Colour Measurement and
Management – Part 2-1: Colour Management – Default RGB Colour Space – sRGB” is the
International Standard issued in 1999, based on the colour characteristics of contemporary
CRT displays.
Subsequently, displays with a wider colour gamut have been commercialized in order to better
cover the colour gamut that is available for digital still cameras, printers and other devices.
This International Standard specifies a colour image encoding similar to the sRGB encoding,
but based on a wider gamut colour space than sRGB. The rendering of the image for specific
applications is beyond the scope of this standard. A display that has a colour gamut wider
than conventional displays has been selected as the “Reference image display system
characteristics” in this standard. These wider colour gamut displays provide advantages in
commercial printing industry workflows and are intended to be used by professional
photographers, prepress industry including DTP and designers.

1 Scope
This part of IEC 61966 is applicable to the encoding and communication of RGB colours
optionally used in computer systems and similar applications by defining encoding
transformations for use in defined reference conditions.
If actual conditions differ from the reference conditions, additional rendering transformations
may be required. Such additional rendering transformations are beyond the scope of this
standard.
