The SPC file format is a file format for storing spectroscopic data.

The SPC file format is a file format in which all kinds of spectroscopic data, including amongst others infrared spectra, Raman spectra and UV/VIS spectra can be stored. The format can be regarded as a database with records of variable length and each record stores a different kind of data (instrumental information, information on one spectrum of a dataset, the spectrum itself or extra logs)[1]. It was invented by Galactic Industries as generic file format for its programs. Their original specification was implemented in 1986, but a more versatile format was created in 1996.
