Description (English):

ISO 12646:2015 specifies requirements for two conformance levels for the characteristics of displays to be used for soft proofing of colour images. Included are requirements for uniformity and variations of electro-optical properties with viewing direction for different driving signals.

Abstract

Overview

ISO 12646:2015 - Graphic technology - Displays for colour proofing - Characteristics defines requirements and test methods for displays used in soft proofing of colour images. The standard specifies two conformance levels (Class A and Class B) and addresses key electro‑optical properties such as uniformity, viewing‑angle behaviour, calibration aims and stabilization. Its purpose is to help manufacturers, colour managers and prepress professionals ensure that a display can reliably represent proofs intended to match hard‑copy output.

Key topics and technical requirements

Conformance levels: Two levels (Class A and Class B) are defined to address differing soft‑proofing needs (ISO 14861 compatibility is emphasized).
Calibration aims: Default calibration for testing is a luminance of 160 cd/m², white point at D50 (x=0.3457, y=0.3585, 2° observer) and gamma ≈ 2.2. Test results must report any deviation from these aims.
Stabilization (warm‑up): Displays must be operated in calibration mode for 12 hours in a controlled room (18–28 °C, ±0.5 °C). Stability is reached when luminance change
