Introduction
The colour of an object can be uniquely characterized by means of a triplet of colour coordinates such
as the CIE tristimulus values or the CIELAB 1976 L*, a*, b* coordinates for a specified CIE illuminant and
CIE standard observer.
Apart from the optical properties of the sample, the values of such coordinates depend upon the
conditions of measurement, particularly the spectral and geometric characteristics of the instrument
used. This part of ISO 5631 should therefore be read in conjunction with ISO 2469.
This part of ISO 5631 describes the measurement and description of colour in terms of the CIE
illuminant C and the CIE 1931 (2°) standard observer. The other parts of this International Standard
describe measurements and calculations carried out in an analogous manner using either the CIE
standard illuminant D65 and the CIE 1964 (10°) standard observer or the CIE illuminant D50 and the
CIE 1931 (2°) standard observer.
The choice of illuminant conditions is important when determining the colour coordinates of white
papers containing a fluorescent whitening agent. In ISO 5631-2, the UV content of the illumination is
much higher, approximating UV levels encountered in outdoor viewing conditions.
ISO 5631-3 describes the measurement and description of colour in terms of the CIE illuminant D50
and the CIE 1931 (2°) standard observer. This method is especially applicable to graphic arts situations
since these illuminant/observer conditions are used within the graphic arts industry.

This part of ISO 5631 specifies a method for measuring the colour of paper and board by the diffuse
reflectance method with the elimination of specular gloss.
This part of ISO 5631 is not applicable to coloured papers or boards which incorporate fluorescent dyes
or pigments. It may be used to determine the colour of papers or boards which contain fluorescent
whitening agents provided the UV content of the illumination on the test piece has been adjusted
to conform to that in the CIE illuminant C, using a fluorescent reference standard that fulfils the
requirements for international fluorescent reference standards of level 3 (IR3) as prescribed by
ISO 2469 with an assigned ISO brightness value (C/2°) provided by an authorized laboratory, as
described in ISO 2470-1.

3.2
intrinsic radiance factor
β
∞
radiance factor of a layer or pad of material thick enough to be opaque, such that increasing the thickness
of the pad by doubling the number of sheets results in no change in the measured radiance factor
Note 1 to entry: The intrinsic radiance factor is often expressed as a percentage.
3.3
reflectance factor
R
ratio of the radiation reflected by a surface element of a body in the direction delimited by a given cone,
with its apex at the surface element to that of the perfect reflecting diffuser under the same conditions
of illumination
Note 1 to entry: The ratio is often expressed as a percentage.
Note 2 to entry: The reflectance factor is influenced by the backing if the body is translucent.
3.4
intrinsic reflectance factor
R
∞
reflectance factor of a layer or pad of material thick enough to be opaque, such that increasing the thickness
of the pad by doubling the number of sheets results in no change in the measured reflectance factor
Note 1 to entry: The reflectance factor of a non-opaque sheet is dependent on the background and is not a
material property.
3.5
tristimulus values
X, Y, Z
amount of the three reference colour stimuli, in a given chromatic system, required to match the
stimulus considered
Note 1 to entry: In this part of ISO 5631, the CIE illuminant C and the CIE 1931 (2°) standard observer are used to
define the trichromatic system.
Note 2 to entry: No subscript is applied to conform to the CIE convention that tristimulus values have no subscript
when the CIE 1931 (2°) standard observer is used [the subscript 10 is applied for tristimulus values that are
obtained using the CIE 1964 (10°) standard observer].
3.6
CIELAB colour space
three-dimensional, approximately uniform colour space, produced by plotting, in rectangular
coordinates L*, a*, b*, quantities defined by the formulae given in Clause 9
Note 1 to entry: The quantity, L*, is a measure of the lightness of the test piece, where L* = 0 corresponds to black
and L* = 100 is defined by the perfect reflecting diffuser. Visually, the quantities a* and b* represent respectively
the red-green and yellow-blue axes in colour space, such that
+a* is a measure of the degree of redness of the test piece,
−a* is a measure of the degree of greenness of the test piece,
+b* is a measure of the degree of yellowness of the test piece, and
−b* is a measure of the degree of blueness of the test piece.
If both a* and b* are equal to zero, the test piece is achromatic.

Introduction
La couleur d’un objet peut être caractérisée de manière unique au moyen d’un triplet de coordonnées
colorimétriques telles que les composantes trichromatiques CIE ou les coordonnées L*, a*, b*
CIELAB 1976, pour un illuminant CIE et un observateur normalisé CIE spécifiés.
Outre les propriétés optiques de l’échantillon, les valeurs de ces coordonnées dépendent des conditions
de mesurage, notamment des caractéristiques spectrales et géométriques de l’appareil utilisé. Il
convient donc de lire la présente partie de l’ISO 5631 conjointement avec l’ISO 2469.
La présente partie de l’ISO 5631 détaille le mesurage et la description de la couleur avec l’illuminant
CIE C et l’observateur normalisé CIE 1931 (2°). Les autres parties de la présente Norme internationale
décrivent les mesurages et les calculs effectués de manière analogue en utilisant soit l’illuminant
normalisé CIE D65 et l’observateur normalisé CIE 1964 (10°), soit l’illuminant CIE D50 et l’observateur
normalisé CIE 1931 (2°).
Le choix des conditions relatives à l’illuminant est important lorsqu’il s’agit de déterminer les
coordonnées colorimétriques de papiers blancs contenant un agent d’azurage fluorescent. Dans
l’ISO 5631-2, la teneur en UV de l’éclairage est très supérieure, avoisinant les niveaux d’UV rencontrés
dans des conditions d’observation en extérieur.
L’ISO 5631-3 détaille le mesurage et la description de la couleur avec l’illuminant CIE D50 et l’observateur
normalisé CIE 1931 (2°). Cette méthode convient particulièrement bien au domaine des arts graphiques
car elle correspond aux conditions d’illuminant et d’observateur utilisées dans ce secteur.

1 Domaine d’application
La présente partie de l’ISO 5631 spécifie une méthode pour mesurer la couleur du papier et du carton
par la méthode de la réflectance diffuse avec élimination du brillant spéculaire.
La présente partie de l’ISO 5631 n’est pas applicable aux papiers et cartons colorés qui contiennent des
colorants ou des pigments fluorescents. Elle peut être utilisée pour déterminer la couleur des papiers et
cartons contenant des agents d’azurage fluorescents, sous réserve que la teneur en UV de l’éclairage sur
l’éprouvette ait été ajustée de manière à être conforme à celle de l’illuminant CIE C, à l’aide d’un étalon
de référence fluorescent satisfaisant aux exigences applicables aux étalons de référence fluorescents
internationaux de niveau 3 (IR3), comme prescrit dans l’ISO 2469, présentant un degré de blancheur
ISO (C/2°) dont la valeur a été attribuée par un laboratoire agréé, comme décrit dans l’ISO 2470-1.

β
∞
facteur de luminance énergétique d’une couche ou d’une liasse de matériau suffisamment épaisse

R
rapport du rayonnement réfléchi par un élément de surface d’un corps dans la direction délimitée par
un cône donné dont le sommet se trouve au niveau de l’élément de surface, au rayonnement réfléchi par

trichromatiques ne comportent pas d’indice lorsque l’on utilise l’observateur normalisé CIE 1931 (2°) [l’indice 10
est utilisé pour les composantes trichromatiques obtenues lorsque l’on utilise l’observateur normalisé
CIE 1964 (10°)].
3.6
espace chromatique CIELAB
espace chromatique à trois dimensions approximativement uniforme, obtenu en portant en coordonnées
rectangulaires les grandeurs L*, a*, b* définies par les formules données dans l’Article 9
Note 1 à l’article: La grandeur L* est une mesure de la clarté de l’éprouvette, où L* = 0 correspond au noir et
L* = 100 est définie comme étant le diffuseur parfait par réflexion. Visuellement, les grandeurs a* et b*
représentent respectivement les axes rouge-vert et jaune-bleu de l’espace chromatique, de sorte que:
+a* est une mesure de la composante rouge de l’éprouvette;
−a* est une mesure de la composante verte de l’éprouvette;
+b* est une mesure de la composante jaune de l’éprouvette;
−b* est une mesure de la composante bleue de l’éprouvette.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO 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 part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of

Introduction
The colour of an object can be uniquely characterized by means of a triplet of colour coordinates such
as the CIE tristimulus values or the CIELAB 1976 L*, a*, b* coordinates for a specified CIE illuminant and
CIE standard observer.
Apart from the optical properties of the sample, the values of such coordinates depend upon the
conditions of measurement, particularly the spectral and geometric characteristics of the instrument
used. This part of ISO 5631 should therefore be read in conjunction with ISO 2469.
This part of ISO 5631 describes the measurement and description of colour in terms of the CIE
illuminant C and the CIE 1931 (2°) standard observer. The other parts of this International Standard
describe measurements and calculations carried out in an analogous manner using either the CIE
standard illuminant D65 and the CIE 1964 (10°) standard observer or the CIE illuminant D50 and the
CIE 1931 (2°) standard observer.
The choice of illuminant conditions is important when determining the colour coordinates of white
papers containing a fluorescent whitening agent. In ISO 5631-2, the UV content of the illumination is
much higher, approximating UV levels encountered in outdoor viewing conditions.
ISO 5631-3 describes the measurement and description of colour in terms of the CIE illuminant D50
and the CIE 1931 (2°) standard observer. This method is especially applicable to graphic arts situations
since these illuminant/observer conditions are used within the graphic arts industry.

Part 1:
Indoor daylight conditions (C/2 °)
1 Scope
This part of ISO 5631 specifies a method for measuring the colour of paper and board by the diffuse
reflectance method with the elimination of specular gloss.
This part of ISO 5631 is not applicable to coloured papers or boards which incorporate fluorescent dyes
or pigments. It may be used to determine the colour of papers or boards which contain fluorescent
whitening agents provided the UV content of the illumination on the test piece has been adjusted
to conform to that in the CIE illuminant C, using a fluorescent reference standard that fulfils the
requirements for international fluorescent reference standards of level 3 (IR3) as prescribed by
ISO 2469 with an assigned ISO brightness value (C/2°) provided by an authorized laboratory, as
described in ISO 2470-1.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
radiance factor
β
ratio of the radiance of a surface element of a body in the direction delimited by a given cone, with its apex
at the surface element, to that of the perfect reflecting diffuser under the same conditions of illumination
Note 1 to entry: For fluorescent (luminescent) materials, the total radiance factor, β, is the sum of two portions,
the reflected radiance factor, β , and the luminescent radiance factor, β , so that β = β + β .
R L R L
For non-fluorescent materials, the reflected radiance factor, β , is numerically equal to the reflectance factor, R.
R

oSIST ISO 5631-1:2016
ISO 5631-1:2015(E)
3.2
intrinsic radiance factor
β
∞
radiance factor of a layer or pad of material thick enough to be opaque, such that increasing the thickness
of the pad by doubling the number of sheets results in no change in the measured radiance factor
Note 1 to entry: The intrinsic radiance factor is often expressed as a percentage.
3.3
reflectance factor
R
ratio of the radiation reflected by a surface element of a body in the direction delimited by a given cone,
with its apex at the surface element to that of the perfect reflecting diffuser under the same conditions
of illumination
Note 1 to entry: The ratio is often expressed as a percentage.
Note 2 to entry: The reflectance factor is influenced by the backing if the body is translucent.
3.4
intrinsic reflectance factor
R
∞
reflectance factor of a layer or pad of material thick enough to be opaque, such that increasing the thickness
of the pad by doubling the number of sheets results in no change in the measured reflectance factor
Note 1 to entry: The reflectance factor of a non-opaque sheet is dependent on the background and is not a
material property.
3.5
tristimulus values
X, Y, Z
amount of the three reference colour stimuli, in a given chromatic system, required to match the
stimulus considered
Note 1 to entry: In this part of ISO 5631, the CIE illuminant C and the CIE 1931 (2°) standard observer are used to
define the trichromatic system.
Note 2 to entry: No subscript is applied to conform to the CIE convention that tristimulus values have no subscript
when the CIE 1931 (2°) standard observer is used [the subscript 10 is applied for tristimulus values that are
obtained using the CIE 1964 (10°) standard observer].
3.6
CIELAB colour space
three-dimensional, approximately uniform colour space, produced by plotting, in rectangular
coordinates L*, a*, b*, quantities defined by the formulae given in Clause 9
Note 1 to entry: The quantity, L*, is a measure of the lightness of the test piece, where L* = 0 corresponds to black
and L* = 100 is defined by the perfect reflecting diffuser. Visually, the quantities a* and b* represent respectively
the red-green and yellow-blue axes in colour space, such that
+a* is a measure of the degree of redness of the test piece,
−a* is a measure of the degree of greenness of the test piece,
+b* is a measure of the degree of yellowness of the test piece, and
−b* is a measure of the degree of blueness of the test piece.
If both a* and b* are equal to zero, the test piece is achromatic.

ISO 2469, and calibrated in accordance with the provisions of ISO 2469.
If materials containing fluorescent whitening agents are to be measured, the reflectometer shall be
equipped with a radiation source having an adequate UV content control, adjusted to a UV condition
corresponding to the C illuminant by the use of a reference standard, as described in ISO 2470-1.
5.1.2 In the case of a filter reflectometer, a set of filters that, in conjunction with the optical
characteristics of the basic instrument, give overall responses equivalent to the CIE tristimulus values X,
Y and Z of the CIE 1931 standard colourimetric system of the test piece evaluated for the CIE illuminant C.
In the case of a filter reflectometer, the radiation falling upon the test piece shall have a UV content
corresponding to that of the CIE illuminant C.
5.1.3 In the case of an abridged spectrophotometer, a function that permits calculation of the CIE
tristimulus values X, Y and Z of the CIE 1931 standard colourimetric system of the test piece evaluated
for the CIE illuminant C using the weighting functions given in Annex A where the Tables A.1 and A.2 are
used for instruments without bandpass correction and Tables A.3 and A.4 are used for instruments with
bandpass correction.
In the case of an abridged spectrophotometer, the instrument shall have an adjustable filter with a
cut-off wavelength of 395 nm or some other equivalent system, and this filter shall be adjusted or the
system shall be calibrated with the help of the fluorescent reference standard (5.2.2), so that the UV
content of the illumination falling upon the sample corresponds to that o
