10 < P N ≤ 40

P N > 40

where P N = rated engine power in kW at rated speed and L pASmax = maximum sound pressure level in dB.

For twin-engine and multiple-engine units of all engine types an allowance of 3 dB may be applied.

1.2. As an alternative to sound measurement tests, recreational craft with inboard engine configuration or

the waterline length Lwl (m) multiplied by a given gravitational constant, (g = 9.8 m/s 2 )

V

Fn =

( g . Lwl )

"Power displacement ratio" shall be calculated by dividing the engine power P (kW) by the boat's

P

displacement D ( t ) =

D

1.4. As a further alternative to sound measurement tests, recreational craft with inboard or stern drive engine

configurations without integral exhaust, shall be deemed to comply with these noise requirements if their key

design parameters are the same as or compatible with those of a certified reference boat to tolerances

specified in the harmonised standard.

without integral exhaust that has been found to comply with the noise emission requirements, when

measured in accordance with section 1.1, and for which all appropriate key design parameters and sound

level measurements have been included subsequently in the published list of certified reference boats.
