New ISO 12647 -2: 2013 - MO and M1 measuring devices

Good day all - Can anyone explain what the differences is between MO and M1 measuring devices, as I am trying to under stand what these new specifications mean in the new ISO 12647-2:2013, does it mean that all measuring devices must conform to the new M1 standard? Where does that leave you with closed loop colour control on press, and not sure where to find the answers - can anyone help.

Hope this helps,

M0 specifies the light source as Illuminant A (tungsten) and includes UV. This corresponds to most of your older devices.

M1 pegs the lighting as D50 and also includes UV.

M2 is any standard illuminant with UV excluded.

M3 is any standard illuminant with polarization - which, by the way, automatically filters out the UV.
