Where do I find the best and up-to-date info on the ISO 12646 ?
Currently the DIS (Draft International Standard) is being finalized,
following some revisions proposed to the Committee Draft by the US
subcommittee. Generally a DIS becomes a final standard without
significant further changes. You should be able to get details through
your national standards organization.

ISO Technical Committee 130. This consists of all the national graphic
arts technology standards committees. In the UK it is BSI committee
PAI/43.
The aim of the standard is to make recommendations on viewing conditions
to enable users to achieve consistent and accurate matches between soft
proofs and hard copy.

The DIS will have 80cd/m2 as the minimum luminance level, as did the CD.
The wording implies that 120cd/m2 is preferred but not mandated.
