Not with standing this measure, which is necessary for technical reasons, the
manufacturer of fuels should never the less aim at a zero value where the
stipulated maximum value is 2R and at the mean value in the case of quotations
of maximum and minimum limits. Should it be necessary to clarify the questions
as to whether a fuel meets the requirements of the specifications, the terms of
ISO 4259 should be applied.

maximum and minimum value, the minimum difference is 4R (R = reproducibility).
Not withstanding this measure, which is necessary for technical reasons, the manufacturer
of fuels should nevertheless aim at a zero value where the stipulated maximum value is 2R

* dB(A) Leq denotes the time weighted average of the level of sound in decibels on scale A which is relatable to human hearing.
A decibel is a unit in which noise is measured.
A, in dB(A) Leq, denotes the frequency weighting in the measurement of noise and corresponds to frequency response characteristics of the human ear.
Leq: It is an energy mean of the noise level over a specified period.
