  Astron. Astrophys. 339, 858-871 (1998)
It is of the utmost importance that as a large number as 327 ISO standard stars have their temperatures well determined by the semiempirical narrowband IRFM and by the actual empirical broadband near-infrared approach, since comparisons between the independent results can be done at the best level of available accuracies.
The relevant sources of errors which can affect determinations by the IRFM are related to the bolometric flux measurements including the absolute calibration of the observed magnitudes, to the absolute calibration of the near-infrared reference flux and to the model-atmosphere monochromatic flux.
For self consistent comparisons, the BG bolometric fluxes should be multiplied by the average correction factor 0.958 derived from the subset of stars in common as reported in the upper part of the diagram.
