EBC is the European Brewery Convention. Although some have suggested it could mean "Estimating Beer Colour"! It is used as a measure of the beer's colour. The higher the number, the darker the beer. The website below has a relevant colour chart.
Likewise, SRM refers to the Standard Reference Method of colour assessment from the American Society of Brewing Chemists. This method uses a device to measure the colour of the wort or beer.
