Side Turn Signal Lamps for Vehicles Less than 12 m in Length
- Ground Vehicle Standard

- Revised
Scope
Rationale
-
Section 2.1.1 Moved SAE J1889 L.E.D. Lighting Devices from 2.2 Related Publications to 2.1 Applicable Publications. This is consistent with other SAE Signals that incorporate SAE J1889.
-
Section 2.2.2 Added ECE Regulation 48 and Regulation 6 to this section. Added contact information for European Union regulations.
-
Section 3.2 changed to include a definition for a Mirror Mounted Turn Signal that is rearward facing
-
Section 3.3 added a definition for a Mirror Mounted Turn Signal that is side facing.
-
Section 3.4 – Revised numbering of Mounting Height definition. Definition revised to make it more descriptive.
-
Section 4 – Included Identification codes for rear and side facing mirror mounted turn signals. Renumbered this section.
-
Section 5.1.5.1 – Revised photometric test distance description to be consistent with other SAE publications.
-
Section 5.1.5.3 – Added SAE J1889 note. This is consistent with other SAE Signals that incorporate SAE J1889.
-
Section 5.1.5.4 – Added section to define test method for a signal that is mounted on a movable component.
-
Section 5.3 – Added Materials Test
-
Section 6.1.5 – Added photometric requirements sections for rear and side facing mirror mounted turn signals. Revised wording of 6.1.5.1 for the E2 type side turn signal lamp to clarify that Figure 1 is to be used with this type of signal lamp. Added new figures for photometric requirements of mirror mounted signals. These tables were developed with input from the Side Mirror Turn Signal Task Force, UMTRI research papers, and a lighting demonstration/survey from the Spring 2006 Lighting Committee Meetings in Sante Fe, NM.
-
Section 6.2 – Color revised so that side turn signals and side facing mirror mounted turn signals could only be yellow. This is because most of these lamps have light emitting surfaces that are visible from the front view of the vehicle. There can’t be any red light visible from the front, therefore these types of side turn signals are limited to yellow light. Rear facing mirror mounted turn signals can be red or yellow in color. These signals are generally not visible from the front of the vehicle
-
Section 6.4.2 – This section was added to specify mirror mounted signals must flash simultaneously with the required signals. This was added so that drivers who view required turn signals and the mirror mounted turn signals on the same vehicle will not misinterpret the signals as two different vehicles indicating a turn.
-
Section 7.1.5 – This section was added to alert users that red light from the rear facing mirror mounted turn signal shall not be visible from the front of a vehicle. Definition was developed from ECE Reg 48. Related Figure 4 also added.

Issuing Committee
Signaling and Marking Devices Stds Comm
The Signaling and Marking Devices Standards Committee is part of the Lighting Systems Steering Committee that reports to the Motor Vehicle Council (MVC). The Committee is responsible for developing and maintaining SAE Standards, Recommended Practices, and Information Reports related to exterior lighting devices used on passenger cars, light trucks, vans and multipurpose vehicles. The Committee monitors the development of related technologies and determines how they may be applied to signaling and marking devices, while also working towards the development of standards to aid in the application of various technologies. The following task forces have been developed under the committee's scope: J1889 LED Signal Lighting Task Force New Technology Signal Lighting Task Force J2030 Discharge Signal Lighting Task Force Geometric Visibility Task Force Miniature Bulb Task Force J593 Backup Lamp (Reversing Lamp) Task Force J2087 Daytime Running Lamp Task Force Side Mirror Turn Signal Task Force Participants in the SAE Signaling and Marking Devices Standards Committee include OEMs, suppliers, consulting firms, government, and other interested parties.
