Bibliography

This European Standard specifies the minimum requirements for measuring principles and systems in order to produce comparable results. It applies to all measuring equipment fitted on dedicated recording vehicles, or on vehicles specifically modified for the same purpose, after the coming into force of the standard. It also defines the requirements of measurement.
