@ Martel80,

The following Articles may certainly be a little relevant for answering to your questions...

'TC Electronic' "Broadcast Standards"

'TC Electronic' "Loudness Explained..."

 

Thanks for the articles !

It was in fact relevant but didnt answer none of my question !

 

It depends if you produce music, or work at a radio station..

When first: I would conform to the 'Mastered for iTunes' spec.
When second: Analog radio station-levels are still based on PPM values, Digital radio (DAB) is conforming to the new loudness specs.
Internet-radio, podcasts and stuff for mobile devices is allowed to be louder (-17 lufs)

@ Martel80,

Hence the "...a little relevant..."

Although, it seems to me that some (minor) Info can be found through these Articles, as for instance :

"As mentioned, many other broadcast standards are based on ITU BS.1770, including ATSC A/85 (the US), EBU R128 (Europe), OP-59 (Australia) and TR-B32 (Japan)."
