The revised version of this standard is now nearly ready. The German associations, bvdm and ZMG, are aiming to switch to the new standard by mid-2004.

Ifra is supporting the preparations for this and is already testing new standard colour profiles.

A joint event held at Ifra headquarters on 17 March will inform about the changes.

Therefore it is high time to take a close look at the revised ISO 12647-3.

Bvdm and Ifra give an in-depth introduction to this topic in this report.
