There are various standards applying to vehicle turn flashers and
lamps. The CEC catalog refers to the appropriate standards applying to
each of their flasher products. SAE J590 appears to be the original
flasher standard.

I notice all the common automotive flashers they are selling meet the
SAE 590 standard whether heavy duty, or led or whatever, including the
one that is supposed to be able to flash one to twenty lamps.
I'm guessing if you have 20 lamps on the same flasher and one burns
out, there will be no change in the flash rate. Although, it could
mean that if all the lamps burn out you'd be alerted, presumably the
small indicator lamp in the dash won't be enough to keep it toggling -
and some of those light during the off period of the turn signal.
The common thread on the product list is the 60 -120 flashes per
minute (no mention of on versus off period - but that may be in the
standard)
Scrolling down from the multi-led lamp flashers they show some fixed
load flashers that are supposed to alter the flash rate when a lamp
burns out - they also meet the 590 standard
A list of standards applying to lighting on passenger vehicles is here
http://calcoast-itl.com/services_standards.html so you can Google for
those which you think might apply.
Found it for $59; decided I didn't want it enough.
Both of these meet the same SAE J590 standard - one is designed to
alert the operator of a lamp outage the other isn't. Lamp outage must
Not be a requirement for turn signal flashers.
