ASABE To Revise Standards On Agricultural Equipment Lighting & Marking

The American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE) has initiated projects to revise two of its most frequently cited engineering standards, ANSI/ASAE S276.6, Slow Moving Vehicle Identification Emblem (SMV Emblem) and ANSI/ASAE S279.14, Lighting and Marking of Agricultural Equipment on Highways.

A possible addition to the standard is the incorporation of rotary beacons or strobe lights, and of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on agricultural equipment. S276.6 is being revised to update the testing requirements for the backing materials of the SMV emblem.

For information on this or any other ASABE standard, contact Scott Cedarquist at (269) 932-7031, cedarq@asabe.org. A current listing of all ASABE standards projects can be found on the ASABE website at asabe.org/standards/proposed.html.
