It must have the form of a strip with partial digits or only partial digits (without strokes), which is alternately painted in clearly visible colors. The zero point must be in the plane of the ship's floor at the point of application of the draught indicator, or, if the vehicle has a keel, in the plane of the lower edge of the keel at this point. The division must be designated by marks which are under supervision of the competent authority has been carried out by the competent authority or by the authority of the competent authority.

Appendix 4 Color of the lights of the vehicles

Source of the original text: BGBl. I 1993, investment sand p. 84-86
1.
The colors of the lights of the vehicles, which can be: "Blue", "Green", "White", "Yellow", "Red", represent a signal system with five colors. For such a system, the colour value ranges approved for each colour are set out in the official recommendations of the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) entitled "Colours of Signal Light" and in the publication CIE Nr. 2.2 (TC-1.6) In 1975.
2.
The colour value ranges of the lights of the vehicles laid down in this Regulation are within the general ranges defined by the CIE, but are narrower for some colours. In Table 1, the color value ranges are shown in numerical form in the form of x-y coordinates of the intersection points of the color boundary lines, and are shown graphically in the CIE diagram in FIG. 1.
3.
The color value ranges defined in Table 1 apply to the colors of the lights radiated by the signal light devices.
4.
In view of the present recommendations of the CIE (1975), the colour limits are the result of a compromise between reliable recognition of the colour of the signal light under variable conditions, the appropriate scope of the signal light, practical use of the signal light, and practical use of the colour limits. Precision in the production of the signal device, consisting of the light source and the color filter, and the delimitation of the color of the signal light with respect to other colored lights both inside and outside the signal system.
5.
The colour limits set out in this Regulation have been chosen, in particular, for the following reasons: blue For blue signal lights, the CIE has defined only one general area. However, since a closer area ensures a greater probability of detecting the colors, a particular area has been selected. Green A greater probability of distinction between green and blue, green and white, green and white The appropriate narrow colour limits were selected from the current recommendations of the CIE. In the case of electric lights, the limit of white signal light to yellow should generally be limited to x=0.500. Only when using non-electric lights, for example oil lamps, is a shift of the limit after x=0.525 is permitted, as indicated by the broken lines in the color value diagram in FIG. 1. It is not necessary to move the border from white against blue towards blue, as is done in the current recommendations of the CIE, because xenon lamps will not be used for the lights of the vehicles. Yellow and white Lights require special care when using these colors as signal lights. In order to distinguish a white light from a yellow light, an appropriate distance of at least x = 0.050 is to be ensured. When using oil lamps as white signal lights, the limit of yellow to white is limited to x=0.575. RotThe range chosen for the red lights is a compromise between the narrow range with regard to a greater probability the colour recognition and the narrow colour range mentioned in the current recommendations of the CIE with regard to persons who confuse red and green.

Appendix 5 Strength and bearing width of the lights of the vehicles

Source of the original text: BGBl. I 1993, investment countries p. 87-88
1.
In terms of their light intensity, the lights of the vehicles are divided into three types:

ordinary lights,
bright lights,
strong lights.
2.
The colored lights are usually produced by the combination of a white light source and a colored filter or a colored optical device. The color value ranges agreed for these lights are fixed in Appendix 4. The colored filters or the colored optical device are selective filters. The transmittance factor of these filters thus depends on the spectral composition of the incident light of the light source. In practice, the following total transmission factors are accepted:

Red or green: Tau = 0.10 to 0.20
Yellow: Tau = 0.40 to 0.60
Blue: Tau > = 0.02
3.
The limits of the light intensity of the lights of the vehicles are given in Table 1. All values are operating light strengths l (deep) B, which correspond to 75 of the hundreds of photometric light intensities l (deep) O:

 l (deep) B = 0.75 x l (deep) O   
A factor of 0.75 covers the effects of the ageing of the light source and a certain degree of dustness of the light source and the optical system. The values of Table 1 shall apply in all directions in the horizontal focal surface of the optical system within the useful range of the signal limin.At an angle of up to a maximum of 7.5 degrees perpendicular to the horizontal focal surface, the value of the Light intensity shall not be less than 5 per cent per unit area.
4.
The ratio between the operating light strength l (deep) B (cd) and the load width t (km) at night is indicated by the following equation:

 l (deep) B = 0.2 x t (high) 2 x q (high)-t   
A factor of 0.2 is the internationally agreed threshold lighting strength of 0.2 microlux for the night perception of a light, where the t-values are the meters in kilometers converted, and q is the transmission factor related to a Distance of 1 km.To determine the size of the lights of the vehicles, q=0.76 was set, which corresponds to a meteorological visual range of 14.3 km. The corresponding support widths are calculated using the above equation with the light strengths according to Table 1.

Appendix 6 Sound signs

Source of the original text: BGBl. I 1993, investment countries p. 89-91
I. Sound level of the sound signals
The mechanically operated sound equipment used on vehicles used in inland waterways must be capable of producing sound signs with the following characteristics:
1.
Frequency:
a)
For vehicles with a machine drive, except for small vehicles referred to in point (b), the basic frequency shall be 200 Hz with a tolerance of +/-20 of the hundred;
b)
for vehicles without machinery and for small vehicles which are not designed or used to tow vehicles other than small vehicles, the base frequency must be more than 350 Hz;
c)
for the three-tone characters used by radar drivers, the basic frequencies of the tones lie between 165 and 297 Hz with an interval of at least two whole tones between the highest and the lowest sound.
2.
Sound pressure level: The sound pressure levels indicated below shall be measured at 1 m in front of the centre of the funnel opening or calculated back to this distance; the measurement shall, as far as possible, be carried out from sound-reflecting surfaces:
a)
For vehicles with a machine drive, except for small vehicles referred to in point (b), the sound pressure level shall be between 120 and 140 dB (A);
b)
for vehicles without machinery and for small vehicles which are not designed or used to tow vehicles other than small vehicles, the sound pressure level must be between 100 and 125 dB (A);
c)
for the three-tone characters used by radar drivers, the sound pressure level of each tone must be between 120 and 140 dB (A).
II. Control of the sound pressure level
The control of the sound pressure level shall be carried out by the competent authorities with the aid of the sound level measuring instrument (I.E.C. 179) standardised by the International Electrotechnical Commission, or by the normal normal standard by the I.E.C. Sound level measuring device (I.E.C. 123).
III. Sound signs of the vehicles
The sound signs, with the exception of the bell-bells and the three-tone sign, must be composed of one or more tones in succession, which have the following characteristics:
-
short sound: a tone of about one second duration;
-
long note: a tone of about four seconds duration.
The interval between two successive tones must be approximately one second, except for the sign "Follow very short notes", which must consist of at least six tones of about one quarter of a second duration, the interval between the two tones being between the two tones. It's just as long as it is.
