				  exceed 0.85 seconds, which corresponds to a minimum of 70 flashes per minute.
				  Flashes having a light output less than the required minimum shall not be
				  counted in reporting flash rate. Light pulses having a light output less than
				  the required minimum shall not be included in the on-time.
(b) Voltage. Warning lamps manufactured for
				  more than one voltage shall comply with all requirements of this title when
				  tested at each voltage. Warning lamps designed to operate on a rated voltage of
				  12 volts shall be tested at 12.8 volts. Warning lamps designed to operate on a
				  rated voltage of 24 volts shall be tested at 25.6 volts. Warning lamps designed
				  to operate on a rated voltage of other than 12 or 24 volts shall be tested at a
				  voltage equivalent to the voltage provided by the vehicle storage battery
				  charged to 100% capacity with no current drain.
(c) Exterior Lens Surface. The outside
				  surface of the illuminated section of the lens shall be smooth with no ribs,
				  ridges, or indentations other than marks of identification, screw holes, and
				  aiming pads.
(d) Double-Faced
				  Lamps. Steady burning double-faced lamps shall have opaque dividers to minimize
				  exterior light shining through the lamp.
(e) Multiple Light Source Lamps. Lamps with
				  two or more individual light sources shall have all light sources operating
				  together when the lamp is steady burning or flashing.

				  The device shall be turned on at the end of the sixth hour and operated for 3
				  minutes with the required test voltage applied at the device terminals before
				  measuring the flash rate.
(c)
				  Durability Test. The sample shall be operated continuously for 200 hours at
				  room temperature in cycles consisting of 50 minutes on and 10 minutes off at
				  the required test voltage.
(d)
				  Required Performance. The device shall operate satisfactorily during the tests
				  specified in preceding subdivisions (a), (b), and (c) with no evidence of
				  malfunction. The flash rate shall remain within the required rate for the type
				  of lamp except that the flash rate for lamps used in the low temperature test
				  shall not be less than 50 flashes per minute. The voltage at the terminals of
				  the warning lamp assembly shall be not more than 0.50 volt below the input
				  terminal voltage of 12.8 volts for 12 volt units and not more than 1.0 volt
				  below the required input terminal voltage for lamps intended to operate at 24
				  volts or more with the device operating. Measurements for the low temperature
				  test shall be made 3 minutes after the beginning of the last hour of operation
				  and at the end of the test. Measurements for the high temperature test shall be
				  made at the end of the test. Measurements for the durability test shall be made
				  at 100 hours and at the end of the test.
