found these on flickr.
Pretty good visibilty, it getting to a near perfect example!
If I
had to bitch I'd say a little more contrast would help (yellow on white doesn't stick out big time) - but hey, we don't want to overreact.
So, check them out!
got them from here:

This new livery meets the new international standard for Ambulances, so they can be easily identified.

Who made up this international standard, and where can I get my hands on it?

The international standard as in "all european countries" have had this form of decals and have done for YEARS now everyone else better follow suit.
Only qld,act n sa have followed this suit but even still the decals are all still different for each service.

AFAIK it's the EU (European Union) Guidelines, nothing more nothing less. And they recommend how big ambulances should be, what should be in them, divide them up in to categories (A: Patient transport 1 person, B: Patient Transport 2 People, C: Emergency Ambulance 1 person). Also talks about size of patient etc. All this is in the EN 1789.
In another recommendation the EU has suggested to use yellow as a base colour for ambulances, as it is the best visible colour at dusk and dawn.
I don't know anything about livery though, and not many european ambulances that I know of actually look like these ones.
