The original JPEG Group was organized in 1986, issuing the first JPEG standard in 1992, which was approved in September 1992 as ITU-T Recommendation T.81 and, in 1994, as ISO/IEC 10918-1.
Esimene JPEG-standard väljastati 1992 aastal ja võeti vastu septembris 1992 kui ITU-T soovitus T.81, ning hiljem 1994 aastal kui ISO/IEC 10918-1.
