DIN EN ISO 11664-6:2016-12

This document (EN ISO 11664-6:2016) contains the German translation of the International Standard ISO/CIE 11664-6:2014, which has been prepared by the "International Commission on Illumination". At the European level, responsibility lies with Technical Committee CEN/TC 139 "Paints and varnishes" (secretariat: DIN, Germany). This standard specifies the method of calculating colour differences according to the CIEDE2000 formula. This standard is applicable to input values of CIELAB L*, a*, b* coordinates calculated according to ISO 11664-4:2008(E)/CIE S 014 4/E: 2007. This standard may be used for the specification of the colour difference between two colour stimuli perceived as belonging to reflecting or transmitting objects. This includes displays if they are being used to simulate reflecting or transmitting objects and if the tristimulus values representing the stimuli are appropriately normalized. This standard does not apply to colour stimuli perceived as belonging to areas that appear to be emitting light as primary light sources or that appear to be specularly reflecting such light. The responsible national committee is NA 025-00-02 GA "Gemeinschaftsarbeitsausschuss FNF/FNL: Farbmetrik" ("Joint Working Committee FNF/FNL: Colometry") at DIN.
