Comments from IEC on the informal document GRE-69-15/Rev.1 (“Priority of Discussion on Technical Requirements for IWVTA and Draft Report to IWVTA Informal Meeting”)

Proposal to introduce the following into Regulation No. 48:
a) General definition of ‘tell-tale’, as also currently defined in Regulation No. 121;
b) Requirement that the specifications of the tell-tale (location, identification, symbol, illumination and colour) shall meet the relevant requirements of Regulation No. 121;
c) Provision that tell-tales shall always provide an optical signal, thus aligning with Regulation No. 121; however, it is suggested to allow additional signals (auditory or any equivalent signal);
d) New definition of a ‘failure tell-tale’ and stating the mandatory presence of such tell-tale for the daytime running lamp in certain cases;
e) Editorial changes clarifying the situation for a few other cases in Regulation No. 48, where apparently also a ‘failure tell-tale’ was meant.
