Hi, What you are trying to do, is easely done by a utility called "icc2it8". You can find a Win32 binary in the utilities page: http://www.littlecms.com/newutils.htm#icc2it8 The profiler package for linux has the source code as well.
That will generate a fake IT8 taking measures directly from profile. In your case icc2it8 -t3 -l "sRGB Color Space Profile.icm" srgb.it8 That is, using the sRGB standard profile, and absolute colorimetric intent (-t3) generate RGB and Lab values (-l). This will result in a srgb.it8 containing both RGB and Lab and ready to be used by the profilers. In this case, absolute intent is needed, since you are measuring absolute Lab as taken from real target reference sheets. If you want to try the scanner profiler, make sure to select this file as "Target". Since the RGB measurement is already in the sheet. Leave the "measurement" field blank. I have checked it and gives to me a dE of 0.29 and a peak of about 1.5. This peak is due to the special handling on gamut boundaries the scanners does need. Also, you can try to profile your sheet as monitor (and this should be more correct, since sRGB is really a monitor profile). On monitor profiler, select "I want to build accurate profile from measurement sheet", and enter the sheet name. The monitor profiler gives a dE of 0.18 and a peak again of 1.5. Comparing the obtained profile by qtProfileChecker against true sRGB gives identical gamut triangle and transfer curves. dE and Peak 0 could not be obtained easely, since IT8 target gamut is bigger than sRGB andt thus, some clipping always happens.
