ISO 10521-2:2006 specifies methods of setting the target road load on chassis dynamometers for the purpose of a subsequent test, for example the fuel consumption test or the exhaust-emission measurement test.
The road-load setting method on chassis dynamometers depends on the road-load measurement method, such as the coastdown method, the torquemeter method or the wind-tunnel and chassis-dynamometer method. ISO 10521-2:2006 gives detailed instructions on the methods of the chassis-dynamometer setting procedure for road-load value, obtained by the various measurement methods specified in ISO 10521-1:2006.
ISO 10521-2:2006 is applicable to chassis dynamometers that can set road load at a minimum of three speed points, and to motor vehicles as defined in ISO 3833:1977 up to a gross vehicle mass of 3 500 kg.
