Standard illuminants and geometric conditions
1 Scope
This standard specifies the geometric conditions of CIE standard illuminants in
colorimetry, artificial light sources representing illuminants, color measuring
instruments.
This standard is applicable to the application and expression of illuminant and
geometric conditions in color measurement, calculation and evaluation.

through reference in this Standard. For the dated references, the subsequent
amendments (excluding corrections) or revisions do not apply to this Standard;
however, parties who reach an agreement based on this Standard are
encouraged to study if the latest versions of these documents are applicable.
For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document applies.
GB/T 5698 Glossary of color terms
3 Terms and definitions
The terms and definitions as established in GB/T 5698 as well as the following
terms and definitions apply to this standard.
3.1
Illuminant
Radiation with a certain relative spectral power distribution in the wavelength
range that affects the color perception of an object.
3.2
CIE standard illuminants
CIE defined illuminant A and illuminant D65 based on the relative spectral
power distribution.
3.3
CIE sources
The relative spectral power distribution of artificial light sources specified by
CIE which is similar to the relative spectral power distribution of CIE standard
illuminants.
3.4
Geometric conditions
The geometric relationship between the illumination source of the color
measuring instrument and the detector and the color sample of the object,
which is different from the illumination observation conditions in the visual
evaluation.
3.5
Reference plane
The plane on which the measured sample or reference standard is placed
during the measurement.
3.6
Sampling aperture
The illumination area on the reference plane or the area where the receiver
detects the flux, whichever is smaller, shall prevail. When the area of the
illumination area is larger than the area of the detection area, it is called
"overfilled"; when the area of the illumination area is smaller than the area
of the detection area, it is called "underfilled".
3.7
Forty-five degree directional geometry
The incident light illuminates the reflective sample in a direction at 45° from
the normal, the symbol is 45°x.
3.8
Forty-five degree annular geometry
The light source illuminates the reflective sample at an angle of 45° to the
normal from all directions at the same time, the symbol is 45°α.
3.9
Zero degree directional geometry
calculated according to formula (1).
4.1.3 The second column of Table 2 shows the tristimulus values and
chromaticity coordinates of standard illuminant A (380 nm ~ 780 nm, 5 nm
interval) under the CIE 1931 standard chromaticity observer; the second
column of Table 3 gives the tristimulus value and chromaticity coordinates of
the standard illuminant A (380 nm ~ 780 nm, 5 nm interval) under CIE 1964
standard chromaticity observer.
4.2 CIE standard illuminant D65
4.2.1 The relative spectral power distribution SD65 (λ) of the CIE standard
illuminant D65 is determined by the value given in the third column of Table 1.
4.2.2 The relative spectral power distribution of CIE standard illuminant D65 is
extrapolated on the basis of the measured data of daylight. It represents
daylight which has a correlated color temperature of approximately 6500 K (also
known as the nominal correlated color temperature of daylight illuminants).
4.2.3 The third column of Table 1 shows the relative spectral power distribution
of the standard illuminant D65 between 300 nm ~ 780 nm, at 5 nm interval; this
set of values can meet most of the actual calculation needs. Other intermediate
values can be calculated from published values using linear interpolation.
4.2.4 The third column of Table 2 gives the tristimulus values and chromaticity
coordinates of the standard illuminant D65 (380 nm ~ 780 nm, 5 nm interval)
under the CIE 1931 standard chromaticity observer. The third column of Table
3 gives the tristimulus value and chromaticity coordinates of standard illuminant
D65 (380 nm ~ 780 nm, 5 nm interval) under CIE 1964 standard chromaticity
observer.
4.3 Other illuminant D
4.3.1 When D65 cannot be used, it is recommended to use one of the daylight
illuminants D50, D55, or D75. Their spectral power distributions are as shown
in the fourth, fifth, sixth columns of Table 1, respectively. Their tristimulus values
and chromaticity coordinates under CIE 1931 standard chromaticity observer
and CIE 1964 standard chromaticity observer are as shown in the fourth, fifth,
sixth columns of Table 2 and Table 3, respectively.
4.3.2 When none of these daylight illuminants can be used, formulas (2) ~ (7)
can be used to calculate the daylight illuminant under a certain nominal
correlated color temperature (Tcp). The correlated color temperature of the
illuminant given by these formulas is approximately equal to the nominal value.
4.3.3 Chromaticity coordinates of illuminant D
recommended method in this standard is based on the experimental
observation data of wavelength from 330 nm to 700 nm, which is extrapolated
in the wavelength range of 300 nm ~ 330 nm and 700 nm ~ 830 nm. The
extrapolated data is accurate for colorimetric applications, but it is not
recommended for other purposes.
5 CIE light source
5.1 CIE light source A
5.1.1 The gas filled tungsten lamp with correlated color temperature of 2856 K
(c2 = 1.4388 x 10-2 m•K) simulates the artificial light source of standard
illuminant A.
5.1.2 When light source A is used in the ultraviolet region, a lamp with a fused
silica glass bulb or window shall be used.
5.1.3 When the spectral power distribution of the light source is required to be
more accurate, the actual light source used shall be calibrated for spectral
radiance.
5.2 Artificial light source representing standard illuminant D65
5.2.1 It is not recommended to use artificial light sources to realize CIE standard
illuminant D65 or other illuminant D.
5.2.2 By calculating and changing the special metamerism index of the
illuminant, the quality of the daylight simulator used for chromaticity can be
described and evaluated. When the spectral power distribution of the light
source needs to be more accurate, the actual light source used shall be
calibrated for spectral radiance.
