For measurements in gear i and lower, the anchor point consists of the maximum sound level Lwoti, the reported engine speed nwoti and vehicle speed vwoti at BB' of gear ratio i of the acceleration test in Annex II.

For measurements in gear i+1 the anchor point consists of the maximum sound level Lwoti+1, the reported engine speed nwoti+1 and vehicle speed vwoti+1 at BB' of gear ratio i+1 of the acceleration test in Annex II.

The sound measurements shall be evaluated as a function of engine speed in accordance with point 3.2.1.
The linear regression line is calculated using the anchor point and the four correlated additional measurements.
where nj = engine speed measured at line BB'
The Slopek of a particular gear for the further calculation is the derived result of the calculation in point 3.2.1 rounded to the first decimal place, but not higher than 5 dB/1 000 min–1.
The sound level LASEP,kj for measurement point j and gear k shall be calculated using the engine speeds measured for each measurement point, using the slope specified in point 3.2 to the specific anchor point for each gear ratio.
For nBB_k,j ≤ nanchor,k:
LASEP_k,j = Lanchor_k + (Slopek – Y) * (nBB_k,j – nanchor,k)/1 000
For nBB_k,j > nanchor,k:
LASEP_k,j = Lanchor_k + (Slopek + Y) * (nBB_k,j – nanchor,k)/1 000
Where Y = 1
On request of the approval authority two additional runs within the boundary conditions in accordance with point 2.3 shall be carried out.
