The load shall be increased such that the rate of increase of the shearing displacement of the knee is between 0,1 and 20 mm/s until the shearing displacement of the knee is in excess of 7,0 mm or the load is in excess of 6,0 kN. Brief excursions from these limits due, for instance, to the use of a hand-pump shall be permitted.",
