# Regulation (EU) No 540/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 April 2014 on the sound level of motor vehicles and of replacement silencing systems, and amending Directive 2007/46/EC and repealing Directive 70/157/EEC (Text with EEA relevance), Division 4: INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

Every individual noise measurement shall be evaluated.
The sound level of every specified measurement point shall not exceed the limits given below:
Lkj ≤ LASEP_k.j + x
With:
x3 dB(A) for vehicle with a non-lockable automatic transmission or non-lockable CVT
x2 dB(A) + limit value – Lurban of Annex II for all other vehicles
If the measured sound level at a point exceeds the limit, two additional measurements at the same point shall be carried out to verify the measurement uncertainty. The vehicle is still in compliance with ASEP, if the average of the three valid measurements at this specific point fulfils the specification.
