What is ECE R65?

The regulation ECE R65 (R65) is a United Nations standard for beacons, light bars and other vehicle warning lamps.
The regulation is designed to ensure that certain key standards governing light output,
colour, light dispersion and flash frequency are adhered to. Heat resistance, water ingress and cold start are also measured.
Chapter 8 Traffic Signs Manual ‘Chapter 8’ are a series of traffic safety measures for vehicles on road works and temporary situations. They include recommendations for vehicle warning, including beacons, when a vehicle is stopped on the highway for works purposes or inspections, as well as entering, leaving or moving within a works site and when travelling in traffic at less than general traffic speed.
Recommendations include vehicles should be equipped with either a roof-mounted flashing amber warning light bar (comprising at least two independent light sources) or two independent roof-mounted flashing amber warning beacons, visible through 360°.
All work vehicles in Europe must be fitted with R65 approved products, and while in the UK this is not yet mandatory Chapter 8 of the Traffic Signs Manual recommends the use of R65 approved products. Many UK fleet operators and insurance companies have adopted the guidelines set out in this manual as a matter of best practise.
Light Output and Intensity R65 products are tested under stringent laboratory conditions, and once approved are issued with a certificate. The ‘E’ mark must also be clearly displayed on the product.
Every beacon, Light Bar or directional lamp is tested for light intensity and light dispersion to meet set conditions for Class I or Class II (night and day intensity levels) for its colour range and category.
Work vehicle operators using R65 approved equipment can be confident they meet the necessary standards in all markets and countries which have adopted
ECE Regulation 65.
