10、-2001 COLOURS OF LIGHT SIGNALS INTRODUCTION National and international standards for visual signal systems usually specify requirements for the colours of light signals to ensure that the colours can be correctly identified. The previous official recommendations of the CIE provided sound guidance on
11、 the choice of these colours and were utilised in the drafting of most relevant standards. The CIE first adopted recommendations for light signal colours in 1959. These were based on three experiments carried out in the 1930s and 1940s and on the technical and practical knowledge of the experts serv
12、ing on the CIE committees that prepared the recommendations. Account was also taken of current practices and standards as well as the practical limitations of coloured signal glasses and signal assemblies and the need to generate signals of sufficient intensity. Following new experimental work as we
13、ll as experience in the application of the 1959 recommendations, a revision of the recommendations was published by the CIE in 1975 as CIE Publication 2.2 - 1975 Colours oflight Signals. In 1987 the CIE saw the need for another revision based on further experimental work and changing needs and techn
14、ology in visual signalling. Committee TC4-14 (Colours of Signal Lights) of CIE Division 4 (Lighting and Signalling for Transport) undertook a detailed analysis of the experiments on the recognition of light signal colours and consulted widely among the international experts on visual signalling. The
15、 Committee reported its findings in CIE Technical Report 107 A Review of the Official Recommendations of the CIE for the Colours of Signal Lights, which was published by the CIE in 1994. This Technical Report contains details of relevant experiments, arguments regarding colour discrimination, recomm
16、endations and an extensive bibliography. The recommendations of the committee were adopted by Division 4 of the CIE in 1992 and have guided the preparation of this International Standard. 1. SCOPE This Standard specifies the allowable colours for steady signal lights and flashing signal lights where
17、 the duration of the on period is at least one second. It is applicable to the colours of signal lights used in sea, road, air and rail transport systems including signal lights on ships, aircraft, motor vehicles and trains, where the recognition of the colours involved is essential. The Standard ca
18、n also be used for guidance on the selection of the colours of light signals and warning lights on instrument panels in vehicles, of light signals and warning lights on instrument panels used for monitoring or control of industrial processes, used in visual display terminals when recognition of the
19、colour code is important to interpreting the information displayed. The Standard does not specify how signal lights should be used in the various transport modes nor does it specify the meanings to be associated with the different colours. Reference must also be made to international, regional and n
20、ational conventions and regulations for sea, rail, road and air transport which specify how the colours should be used for particular applications. For motor vehicle lighting also refer to the applicable regulations annexed to the United Nations agreement, Geneva 1958 and later revisions, concerning
21、 the adoption of uniform technical prescriptions for wheeled vehicles; equipment and parts which can be fitted and/or used on wheeled vehicles and the conditions for reciprocal recognition of approvals granted on the basis of these prescriptions. For airport and aircraft signal lights consult also t
22、he pertinent International Civil Aviation Org. requirements. O CIE, 2001 - All rights reserved 1 CIE S 004lE-2001 This Standard is not applicable to the colours of surface colour codes. Guidance on the allowable colours for surface colour codes is given in CIE Publication 39.2-1983 Recommendations f
23、or Surface Colours for Visual Signalling. 2. NORMATIVE REFERENCES The following standards contain provisions that, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this Standard.

REQUIREMENTS 4.1 Allowable light signal colours The allowable colours for light signals are red,
37、yellow, white, green and blue. No other colours shall be used. NOTE 1 Purple is not a suitable colour for light signals since it is often confused with red especially since the atmosphere selectively absorbs the blue component of purple. Moreover, the chromatic aberration and/or refractive error of
38、the eye will often cause a purple signal to be seen as a red signal with a blue halo or as a blue signal with a red halo. Violet is not a suitable colour for light signals as it is often confused with blue, has a limited visibility range and may be seen as blue with red haloes or red with blue haloe
39、s as for purple. Orange is not a suitable colour for light signals because it is often confused with red and yellow Signal systems should normally comprise no more than four colours. NOTE 2 NOTE 3 NOTE 4 4.2 Specified chromaticity areas The colours of light signals shall have chromaticity coordinate
40、s (x, y) that lie inside the chromaticity areas defined by the boundaries specified in Table 1 and, where applicable, by the spectral locus and its linear extension across the purple range of colours between the red and blue extremities of the spectral locus. NOTE 1 For convenience in plotting the c
41、hromaticity areas, the intersection points of the chromaticity boundaries, spectral locus and purple line are given in Table 2 and the areas are illustrated in Figures 1 to 5. The chromaticity coordinates for plotting the spectral locus in Figures 1 to 5 are given in ISO/CIE NOTE 2 10527-1991. 4.3 R
42、ed light signal colours 4.3.1 Class A Red light signal colours shall lie within the chromaticity area ABCD except as provided in subclauses 4.3.2 and 4.3.3. 4.3.2 Class A 1 When the user group includes persons with defective colour vision, the red light signal colour shall lie within the chromaticit
43、y area ABC?D?. 4.3.3 Class B When reliable recognition of red light signal colours is not so important, the red light signal colour can lie within the chromaticity area AB?C?D?. NOTE 1 Approximately 8% of men and 0,5% of women have defective colour vision and many of them will have difficulty in rec
44、ognising light signal colours correctly. One quarter of these people have a protan colour vision defect due to either a lack of the red sensitive cone pigment or to the presence of an abnormal red sensitive cone pigment in the retina of their eyes. Protans have difficulty seeing red lights: their vi
45、sual range for red lights is reduced to about half that of normal observers. Their difficulty seeing red lights is greatest for deep reds (smaller values of y). The boundary C?D? excludes deep reds that will cause protan observers greatest difficulty. In the chromaticity area ABB?A, individuals with
46、 normal colour vision will make errors on 10% to 20% of occasions under a variety of viewing conditions, so this chromaticity area cannot be relied upon to provide red signals that will be correctly identified. This area should only be used when other cues to the meaning of the signal are available.
47、 NOTE 2 4.4 Yellow light signal colours Yellow light signal colours shall lie within the chromaticity area EFGH. NOTE 1 When a yellow signal has a high intensity such that at the usual distance of observation the illuminance at the eyes of the observer is greater than 1 O00 PIX, the colour of the si
48、gnal should lie near the boundary EF. When a yellow signal has a low intensity such that at the usual distance of observation the illuminance at the eyes of the observer is less than 1 PIX, the colour of the signal should lie near the boundary GH.

49、/E-2001 4.5 White light signal colours 4.5.1 Class A White light signal colours shall lie within the chromaticity area IJKL except as provided in subclause 4.5.2. 4.5.2 Class B White light signal colours can lie within the chromaticity area IJJKKL when: - yellow signals are not included in the same signal system, - the signal does not need to be distinguished from extraneous yellowish lights in the background (such as sodium and low colour temperature incandescent lamps used for street lighting), - the signal is at a distance less than 5 km, and - the signal will not be subje
