ED Decision 2003/15/RM

Each position light colour must have the applicable International Commission on Illumination chromaticity co-ordinates as follows:

(a)     Aviation red: ‘y’ is not greater than 0.335; and

‘z’ is not greater than 0.002.

(b)     Aviation green:

‘x’ is not greater than 0.440–0.320y;

‘x’ is not greater than y–0.170; and

‘y’ is not less than 0.390–0.170x.

(c)      Aviation white:

‘x’ is not less than 0.300 and not greater than 0.540;

‘y’ is not less than ‘x–0.040’ or ‘yo–0.010’, whichever is the smaller; and

‘y’ is not greater than ‘x + 0.020’ nor ‘0.636–0.400x’;

Where ‘yo’ is the ‘y’ co-ordinate of the Planckian radiator for the value of ‘x’ considered.
