Hi Claas
Thank you for your reply. I really appreciate getting an instrument
manufacturers perspective on my question.
Kind regards

Hi Peter,
ISO 3664:2009 requires a measurement range from 300nm to (AFAIR) 830nm.
This is way beyond the range needed for colour measurements.
As the instruments you are referring to are mainly used to measure reflection
values in the visible wavelength range (AKA colour) it would add up a lot of
overhead (= costs) to also comply to ISO 3664.
But our Konica Minolta FD-7 as well as our MYIRO-1 measure light starting from
360nm.
As typical light sources used for colour appraisal in graphic arts do not have
significant energy below 360nm (neither fluorescent tubes nor LED) this is
perfectly sufficient to get a very good idea about the quality of your viewing
environment.
On top you can even use the measured light spectrum to calculate profiles for
exactly this condition (instead for theoretical D50).
In case you are interested in their other features feel free to contact me
off-list.
Best regards
Claas

Hi List members.
I have been wondering why the spectrometers that we use in colour management
have not begun to include some UV measurement, given ISO3664:2009 requires
lighting with specified amounts of it. Or in the case of the upcoming P3/P4
viewing condition, its absence.
I use ours (XRite) to measure CRI/TM-30 of room lighting, and to check light
modifiers used in our photo studio as they age, and that’s great. But I can’t
use it for to check if lighting is ISO 3664 compliant. And that seems strange,
given these spectrometers target market.
Would adding UV sensitivity make spectrometers too expensive for not enough
added value? Or are there other cans of other worms that make it not practical?
I’m hoping those in the know could shed some light on this.
Thanks
Peter
