Description / Abstract:
These requirements cover highway emergency signals intended to
be carried on commercial automotive vehicles and to be used as
emergency traffic warning signals in the event of enforced parking
of the vehicle on a highway.
These requirements cover three types of warning signals:
Liquid-Burning Flares, Red Electric Warning Lanterns, and
Fusees.
A product that contains features, characteristics, components,
materials, or systems new or different from those covered by the
requirements in this standard, and that involves a risk of fire or
of electric shock or injury to persons shall be evaluated using
appropriate additional component and end-product requirements to
maintain the level of safety as originally anticipated by the
intent of this standard. A product whose features, characteristics,
components, materials, or systems conflict with specific
requirements or provisions of this standard does not comply with
this standard. Revision of requirements shall be proposed and
adopted in conformance with the methods employed for development,
revision, and implementation of this standard.
