Proposal to enable the use of alternate colors (per footnote 18 of Table 1 and in line with ISO Standard 2575) for certain lighting tell-tales in order to indicate light source failures in response to the proposals for light failure indicators under UN Regulations Nos. 7, 48 and 87 (GRE/2016/7, GRE/2016/12 and GRE/2016/17) as adopted by GRE. This proposal anticipates use of the same approach in response to plans for additional failure indication requirements for other lighting regulations.

Proposal as adopted by the Working Party on General Safety Provisions (GRSG) at its 102nd session to add “A” and “AUTO” symbols for automatic systems and to apply ISO alert color coding (degree of danger hierarchy) to symbols 25 and 28 (brake system malfunction and parking brake, respectively).

This proposal is considered to be adopted and are binding upon all Contracting Parties applying Regulation No. 121 as of 15 July 2013.

Proposal to apply footnote ¹⁸ to the symbol for tell-tale No. 1 (master lighting switch) in order to simplify the treatment of colour changes of tell-tales. Footnote ¹⁸ specifies "“Symbol may be shown in other colours than specified in column 5 in order to convey different meanings according to the general colour coding as proposed in paragraph 5. of ISO 2575-2004.” This proposal clarifies the existing understanding of the intent of the regulation and in particular addresses concerns over interpretation where tell-tales Nos. 1 and 19 have been combined.
