Boccia is a precision ball sport, similar to bocce, and related to bowls and
pétanque. The sport is contested at local, national and international levels, by
athletes with more severe physical disabilities. It was originally designed to
be played by people with cerebral palsy but now includes athletes with other
severe disabilities affecting motor skills. In 1984 it became a
Paralympic
sport, and in 2008 was being practised in over fifty countries worldwide.
Boccia is governed by the Cerebral Palsy International
Sports and Recreation Association (CPISRA) and is one of three
Paralympic
sports that have no counterpart in the Olympic program..

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 CPISRA - Boccia: PMS 485 red, PMS 285 blue, PMS 285 grey 40%, and PMS
285 grey 20%.
