Division 7.4.2 Transient (NRTC and LSI-NRTC) test cycles

The non-road transient cycle for engines of category NRE (NRTC) and the non-road transient cycle for large spark ignition engines of category NRS (LSI-NRTC) are each specified in Appendix 3 of Annex XVII as a second-by-second sequence of normalized speed and torque values. In order to perform the test in an engine test cell, the normalized values shall be converted to their equivalent reference values for the individual engine to be tested, based on specific speed and torque values identified in the engine-mapping curve. The conversion is referred to as denormalization, and the resulting test cycle is the reference NRTC or LSI-NRTC test cycle of the engine to be tested (see point 7.7.2).
