Foreword
I S 0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide
federation of national standards bodies (IS0 member bodies). The work of
preparing International Standards is normally carried out through IS0
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which
a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented
on that Committee. International organizations, governmental and non-
governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take pari in the work. IS0
collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission
(IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.

International Standard I S 0 10526 was prepared as Standard CIE S 005 by

the International Commission on Illumination, which has been recognized
by the IS0 Council as an international standardizing body. It was adopted
by I S 0 under a special procedure which requires approval by at least 75 O h
of the member bodies casting a vote, and is published as a joint ISO/CIE
edition.

The International Commission on Illumination (abbreviated as CIE from its

French title) is an organization devoted to international cooperation and
exchange of information among its member countries on all matters relating
to the science and art of lighting.

International Standard IS0 10526 was prepared by Technical Committee

2-33(Rationalisationof CIE Standard IllurninantsA and 065) of the CIE.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition
(IS0 10526:1991), of which it constitutes a technical revision.

CIE Standard illurninants for colorimetry

Foreword
This CIE Standard has been prepared by CIE Technical Committee 2-33,"Rationalisation of
CIE Standard Illuminants A and D65"*),and was approved by the CIE Board of Administration
and the National Committees of the CIE.
The numerical values of the relative spectral distributions of standard illuminants A and D65
defined by this Standard are the same, within an accuracy of six significant digits, as those
defined in earlier versions of these illuminants.

Standards produced by the CIE are concise documentation of data, defining aspects of light
and lighting for which international harmony requires a unique definition. As such, CIE
Standards are a primary source of internationallyaccepted and agreed data that can be taken,
essentially unaltered, into universal standard systems.

 CIE Standard Illurninants for Colorimetry

1. scope
This International Standard specifies two illuminants for use in colorimetry. The illuminants,
which are defined in clauses 4 and 5 of this International Standard, are as follows:
a) CIE standard illuminant A
This is intended to represent typical, domestic, tungsten-filament lighting. Its relative spectral
power distribution is that of a Planckian radiator at a temperature of approximately 2 856 K.
CIE standard illuminant A should be used in all applications of colorimetry involving the use of
incandescent lighting, unless there are specific reasons for using a different illuminant.
b) CIE standard illuminant D65
This is intended to represent average daylight and has a correlated colour temperature of
approximately 6 500 K. CIE standard illuminant D65 should be used in all colorimetric
calculations requiring representative daylight, unless there are specific reasons for using a
different illuminant. Variations in the relative spectral power distribution of daylight are known
to occur, particulariy in the ultraviolet spectral region, as a function of season, time of day, and
geographic location. However, CIE standard illuminant D65 should be used pending the
availability of additional information on these variations.
--`,`,`,,``,,,,`,``,,,`,,``-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---

Values for the relative spectral power distribution of CIE standard illuminants A and D65
are given in Table 1 of this International Standard. Values are given at 1 nm intervals from
300 nm to 830 nm.
The term "illuminant" refers to a defined spectral power distribution, not necessarily
realizable or provided by a source. Illurninants are used in colorimetry to compute the
tristimulus values of reflected or transmitted object colours under specified conditions of
illumination. The CIE has also defined illuminant C and other illuminants D. These illuminants
are described in Publication CIE 15.2-1986 [l], but they do not have the status of primary CIE
standards accorded to the CIE standard illuminantc A and 065 described in this International
Standard. It is recommended that one of the two CIE standard illuminants defined in this
International Standard be used wherever possible. This will greatly facilitate the comparison of
published results.
It is noted that in the fields of graphic arts and photography extensive use is also made
of CIE illuminant D50, for example IS0 3644 [2] and I S 0 13655 [3].
In most practical applications of colorimetry, it is sufficient to use the values of CIE
standard illuminants A and D65 at less frequent wavelength intervals or in a narrower spectral
region than defined in this Standard. Data and guidelines that facilitate such practice are
provided in Publication CIE 15.2 [l], together with other recommended procedures for
practical colorimetry.
The term "source" refers to a physical emitter of light, such as a lamp or the sky. In
certain cases, the CIE recommends laboratory sources that approximate the spectral power
distributions of CIE illuminants. In all cases, however, the definition of a CIE recommended
source is secondary to the definition of the corresponding CIE illuminant, because of the
possibility that, from time to time, new developments will lead to improved sources that
represent a particular illuminant more accurately or are more suitable for laboratory use.
Subclause 6.1 of this International Standard describes CIE source A, which is
recommended for laboratory realizations of CIE standard illuminant A. At present, there is no
CIE recommended source representing CIE standard illuminant D65.

2. Normative references

3. Definitions
For the purposes of this International Standard, the following definitions apply. These
definitions are taken from Publication CIE 17.4-1987 [4], where other relevant terms will also
be found.
3.1 chromaticity co-ordinates
Ratio of each of a set of three tristimulus values to their sum.
NOTE1 As the sum of the three chromaticity co-ordinates equals 1, two of them are
sufficient to define a chromaticity.
NOTE2 In the CIE standard colorimetric systems, the chromaticity co-ordinates are
represented by the symbols x, y, zand X I O , y10, 210.

3.2 chromaticity diagram

A phne diagram in which points specified by chromaticity co-ordinates represent the
chromaticities of colour stimuli.

3.3 CIE standard illuminants

The illuminants A and D65 defined by the CIE in terms of relative spectral power
distributions.

3.4 CIE standard sources

Artificial sources, specified by the CIE, whose relative spectral power distributions are
approximately the same as those of CIE standard illuminants'.

3.5 CIE 1976 uniform-chromaticity-scalediagram; CIE 1976 UCS diagram

The uniform-chromaticity-scale diagram produced by plotting in rectangular co-
ordinates v'against u', quantities defined by the equations
L/ = 4 N ( X + 15Y+ 3Z) = 4 J ( - 2 ~ +12y+ 3)
v ' = 9Y/(X+ 15Y+ 32) = 9 y / ( - 2 ~ +12y+ 3)
X, V, Z are the tristimulus values in the CIE 1931 or 1964 standard colorimetric
systems, and x, y are the corresponding chromaticity co-ordinates of the colour stimulus
considered.

3.6 colour temperature Tc

The temperature of a Planckian radiator whose radiation has the same chromaticity as
that of a given stimulus.

This definitionis a revision of the definition given in CIE 17.4-1987.

3.7 correlated colour temperature T , ,

The temperature of the Phnckian radiator whose perceived colour most closely
resembles that of a given stimulus at the same brightness and under specified viewing
conditions.
NOTE The recommended method of calculating the correlated colour temperature of
a stimulus is to determine, on a chromaticity diagram, the temperature
corresponding to the point on the Planckian locus that is intersected by the
agreed isotemperature line containing the point representing the stimulus (see
Publication CIE 15.2 [l]).

3.8 daylight illuminant

Illuminant having the same, or nearly the same, relative spectral power distribution as a
phase of daylight.

3.9 illuminant
Radiation with a relative spectral power distribution defined over the wavelength range
that influences object colour perception.

3.10 Planckian radiator; black-body

Ideal thermal radiator that absorbs completely all incident radiation, whatever the
wavelength, the direction of incidence or the polarization. This radiator has, for any
Wavelength and any direction, the maximum spectral concentration of radiance for a
thermal radiator in thermal equilibrium at a given temperature.

3.11 Planckian locus

The locus of points in a chromaticity diagram that represents chromaticities of the
radiation of Planckian radiators at different temperatures.

3.12 primary light source

Surface or object emitting light produced by a transformation of energy.

3.13 secondary light source

Surface or object which is not self-emitting but receives light and re-directs it, at least in
part, by reflection or transmission.

3.14 tristimulus values (of a colour stimulus)

Amounts of the three reference colour stimuli, in a given trichromatic system, required
to match the colour of the stimulus considered.
NOTE In the CIE standard colorimetric systems, the tristimulus values are
represented by the symbols X, Y, Zand XIO. Vio, Zia.

BS IS0 10626:1999
CIE Standard Illuminants for Colorimetry

This spectral power distribution is normalized to the value 100 (exactly) at the vacuum
wavelength 0,56 pm (exactly). .
CIE standard illuminant A is defined over the 300 nm to 830 nm spectral region.

NOTE Table 1 provides the relative spectral power distribution of CIE standard
illuminant A between 300 nm and 830 nm at one nm intervals. For all practical
purposes it suffices to use these tabulated values instead of the values
calculated from equation 1 .

--`,`,`,,``,,,,`,``,,,`,,``-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
4.2 Theoretical basis
Equation 1 is equivalent to and can be derived from the expression
S(A) = 100 Me,n(A,T)1 &,A( 036 T ) , (2)
where
&,A( A T ) = q A-5 [exp(q /AT)- 11-1, [Units of W.m-2.pm-11, (3)
is the spectral radiant exitance of a Planckian radiator of temperature T, q and are the first
and second radiation constants and the ratio q IT is given by
q IT= 14 350 12 848 vm. (4)
Since the numerical value of cl is of no importance in calculating the relative spectral
power distribution of an illuminant, the definition of CIE standard illuminant A involves no
assumptions about the numerical values of cl,q, and T other than the ratio defined in
equation 4.

4.3 Supplementary notes

CIE standard illuminant A was originally defined in 1931 [5] as the relative spectral power
distribution of a Planckian radiator of temperature

TCIE1931 = 2 848 K, (5)

the value of the second radiation constant q then being taken as
&.CIE 1931 = 14 350 pmX. (6)
This form of definition as given in Equ. 1 was carefully chosen to ensure that CIE
standard illuminant A was defined as a relative spectral power distribution and not as a
function of temperature. As explained in 4.2 above, the definition of the relative spectral power
distribution has not changed since 1931 and equation 1 simply expresses it in a general form.
What has changed is the temperature assigned to this distribution. The value of Q
given in equation 6 and used by the CIE in 1931 is different from the respective values,
9.ITS-27 = 14 320 pm-K, q p ~ s - 4 8= 14 380 pm.K, and q ~ p ~ s - 6=8QJS-~O = 14 388 pmK, that
were assigned to this constant in the International Temperature Scales of 1927, 1948, 1968
and 1990. Although this has had no effect on the relative spectral power distribution of CIE
standard illuminant A, the correlated colour temperatures of sources recommended for
laboratory realizations have been different, over the years, depending on the values of &
used.

The value of 2 848 x 0,56 is 1 594,88; to avoid decimal figures, both nominator and denominator
in the exponentialterm in the nominator of equation 1 were multiplied by 100.

 BS IS0 10626:1999
CIE Standard Illurninants for Colorimetry

As may be seen from equation 4,the colour temperatures associated with CIE standard
illuminant A on the various international temperature scales referred to above were
T27 = 2 842 K, Ta = 2 854 K, and Tm = T&, = 2 856 K, respectiveiy (see 6.1).

It is implicit in the 1931 definition of CIE standard illuminant A that the term A in
equation 1 denotes a vacuum wavelength. The use of air, instead of vacuum, wavelengths will
cause the following, insignificantly small, errors of the relative spectral distribution of CIE
- -
standard illuminant A: 0,2% at 300 nm, -0,l70at 400 nm, 0,03% at 500 nm, + 0,02 % at
600 nm, + 0,05 % at 700 nm and + 0,08 at 800 nm.

5. CIE standard Illuminant 065

--`,`,`,,``,,,,`,``,,,`,,``-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---

5.1 Dafinition
The relative spectral power distribution t?65(4of CIE standard illuminant D65 is defined by
the values given in table 1 which are presented at 1 nm intervals over the wavelength range
from 300 nm to 830 nm. If required, other intermediate values may be derived by linear
interpolation from the published values'.

5.2 Experimental basis

The relative spectral power distribution of CIE standard illuminant D65 is based on
experimental measurements of daylight in the wavelength range 330 nm to 700 nm, with
extrapolations to 300 nm and 830 nm, as reported by Judd, MacAdam, and Wyszecki [SI.The
extrapolated values are believed to be sufficiently accurate for conventional colorimetric
purposes, but are not recommended for non-colorimetric use.

5.3 Correlated colour temperature

CIE standard illuminant D65 has a nominal correlated colour temperature of 6 500 K. The
exact value depends on the convention used to assign a correlated colour temperature to a
stimulus whose chromaticity, as in this case, does not fall precisely on the Planckian locus.
NOTE: Using the value of q = 14 388 pm.K specified in the International
Temperature Scale of 1990 and the recommended convention that lines of
constant correlated colour temperature are normal to the Planckian locus in a
chromaticity diagram in which 2v '13is plotted against u where u ', Y ' are the
I,

co-ordinates used in the CIE 1976 uniform-chromaticity-scale diagram, the

correlated colour temperature of CIE standard illuminant D65 was found to be
within 4 K of 6 500 K. This difference from the nominal temperature of the CIE
standard illuminant was judged to be insignificantly small.

6. CIE sources for producing CIE standard illurninants

6.1 CIE source A
CIE standard illuminant A can be realized by CIE source A, defined as a gas-filled, tungsten-
filament lamp operating at a correlated colour temperature

T=- 2 8 4 8 ~K~ (7)

1 4350
on a radiation temperature scale specified by a given value of the second radiation constant
q.A lamp with a fused-quartz envelope or window is recommended if the spectral power
distribution of the ultraviolet radiation of CIE standard illuminant A is to be realized more
accurately.

At present, there is no CIE recommended source for realizing CIE standard illuminant D65.
The quality of sources intended for laboratory realization of CIE standard illuminant D65 can
