Khronos 3D graphics glTF 2.0 is now ISO/IEC international standard

3D Graphics standards group Khronos has announced that its glTF 2.0 specs for the efficient transmission and loading of 3D models is now a ISO/IEC 12113:2022 International Standard. Khronos also said it will continue to evolve glTF as a Khronos specification and regularly update ISO/IEC 12113 with proven, widely available glTF functionality to avoid industry fragmentation. The ISO/IEC 12113:2022 specification is available here. In May 2021, ISO/IEC JTC 1 approved Khronos as a PAS submitter, one of only 15 SDOs (Standards Developing Organizations) globally that are enabled to submit proven, widely adopted industry standards for transposition to International Standards. glTF 2.0 was submitted to JTC 1 in October 2021 and was unanimously approved as an International Standard by all voting national standards bodies with no requested technical changes. “In 2013, Khronos launched the glTF initiative with the goal to create a 3D asset format that was as pervasive as JPEG for images - and now glTF, like JPEG, is an International Standard,” said Neil Trevett, vice president developer ecosystems at NVIDIA and Khronos president. “ISO/IEC International Standards are recognized throughout the world, and often constitute the technical regulatory basis for public procurement of IT goods and services. Khronos is proud to be an ISO/IEC JTC 1 PAS Submitter, and intends to proactively ...
