The International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) is the governing body for 
all international table tennis associations. The role of the ITTF includes 
overseeing rules and regulations and seeking technological improvement for the 
sport of table tennis. The ITTF is responsible for the organization of numerous 
international competitions, including the World Table Tennis Championships that 
has continued since 1926, when this federation was founded. The headquarter of 
the ITTF is in Lausanne, Switzerland.

The protocol manual for the London 2012 Olympics 
(Flags and Anthems Manual London 2012 [loc12]) 
provides recommendations for flag designs. Each 
international federation and international 
paralympics federation was sent an image of the flag, including the PMS 
shades, for their approval by LOCOG. Once this was obtained, LOCOG produced a 60 
x 90 cm version of the flag for further approval. So, while these specs may not 
be the official version of each flag, they are certainly what the
international federation and 
international paralympics federation believed the flag to be.

Last year Ian Sumner made some scans from the flag manual for the London 
2012 Olympics (Flags and Anthems Manual London 2012) which provides 
recommendations for flag designs of international sporting federations.
For International Table Tennis Federation - ITTF: PMS 3305 green.
