B60Q ARRANGEMENT OF SIGNALLING OR LIGHTING DEVICES, THE MOUNTING OR SUPPORTING THEREOF OR CIRCUITS THEREFOR, FOR VEHICLES IN GENERAL
Description
B60Q covers the arrangement, mounting, support structures, and electrical circuits for signalling and lighting systems installed on vehicles. This includes headlights, tail lights, turn signals, brake lights, fog lights, and related control circuits, as well as their physical integration into vehicle bodies. The classification encompasses both the mechanical aspects (fixture design, positioning, installation hardware) and the electrical aspects (wiring, control systems, switching mechanisms) necessary for vehicle illumination and signalling functions. Adjacent specialized vehicle lighting applications (such as railway or aircraft-specific lighting) are typically classified in their respective transport mode subclasses.
