Annex 3, paragraph 3.1.3., amend to read:

"3.1.3. …

If a sound peak obviously out of character with the general sound pressure level is observed, the measurement shall be discarded. At least four measurements for each test condition shall be made on each side of the vehicle and for each gear ratio. Left and right sides may be measured simultaneously or sequentially. The first four valid consecutive measurement results, within 2 dB(A), allowing for the deletion of non-valid results (see paragraph 2.1.), shall be used for the calculation of the final result for the given side of the vehicle. The results of each side shall be averaged separately and rounded to the first decimal place. All further calculations to derive Lurban shall be done separately for the left and right vehicle side. The final value to be reported as the test result mathematically rounded to the nearest integer shall be the higher value of the two sides.
