R 128 V5 and Netflix v1.4 differ in target (-23.0 LUFS vs -27 LKFS), gating basis (programme vs dialog-gated) and peak limit (-1 dBTP vs -2 dBTP); one measured value cannot demonstrate both.

Curator qualifications: Correction: the +/-0.5 LU non-live tolerance attributed to R 128 V5 item h) appears in the V5 document only in the revision table as the V3 (June 2014) change; V4 (2020) records 'Tolerances updates' and current item h) gives +/-1.0 LU where the target is not practically achievable plus item i) +/-0.2 LU. Treat +/-0.5 LU as a superseded historical value unless a current supplement (e.g. R 128 s1, Tech 3343) states it; same correction applies to C2-B34-Y1-06. BWF v2/iXML/AS-11 carriage findings (F1/F2) not reinspected. Specification text only; no audio measured or rendered. Curator amendment CA-AM-0001 (2026-10-21): Withdrawn for C2-B34-Y1-06. Curator reread of C2-B34-Y1-06: its E1 states the V5 values (+/-1.0 LU where impractical, +/-0.2 LU QC) and its E5 records +/-0.5 LU only as the V3 (2014) history entry. C2-B80-AUDIT1 contradictions[1] grouped Y1-06 with P2-05 as giving +/-0.5 LU for non-live; that grouping is wrong for Y1-06. The P2-05 correction stands.

Limitations: Specification text only; no audio measured or rendered.
