Article 10Air drag test result of an individual test vehicle#

1.For each individual test vehicle undergoing an air drag test, the granting approval authority shall determine the product of drag coefficient by cross sectional area for zero crosswind conditions (‘air drag value (C_dA)’) from the measurements during the constant speed test in accordance with Article 9 of this Regulation, using the air drag pre-processing tool version of the parent air drag in accordance with Attachment 1 of Appendix 2 to Annex VIII to Regulation (EU) 2017/2400.

2.For each individual test vehicle undergoing an air drag test, the granting approval authority shall determine the air drag test result (‘C_dA_ratio’) as the ratio of the air drag value determined in accordance with paragraph 1 of this Article (‘C_dA_{in-service verification}’), to the declared air drag value of that vehicle (‘C_dA_declared’) recorded in entry 1.8.4 of the manufacturer’s records file, in accordance with Section 3, Part I, of Annex IV to Regulation (EU) 2017/2400.
