2.Specific rules governing useU.K.
2.1.If a device can emit both continuous and intermittent signs, the intermittent sign should be used to indicate a higher level of danger or a more urgent need for the requested/imposed intervention or action than is indicated by the continuous sign.U.K.
The duration of each flash and the frequency of the flashers of an intermittent illuminated sign must be such as to
ensure the proper perception of the message, and
avoid any confusion either between different illuminated signs or with a continuous illuminated sign.
2.2.If a flashing sign is used instead of — or together with — an acoustic signal, identical codes must be used.U.K.
2.3.Devices for emitting flashing signs in the event of grave danger must be under special surveillance or be fitted with an auxiliary lamp.U.K.
