BS ISO 9816:2018

This standard BS ISO 9816:2018 Passenger cars. Power-off reaction of a vehicle in a turn. Open-loop test method is classified in these ICS categories:

• 43.100 Passenger cars. Caravans and light trailers

This document specifies open-loop test methods to determine the reactions of a vehicle in a turn to a sudden drop in motive power resulting from release of the accelerator pedal. It applies to passenger cars as defined in ISO 3833.

The open-loop manoeuvre specified in this test method is not representative of real driving conditions, but is useful to obtain measures of a vehicle’s power-off behaviour resulting from specific types of control inputs under closely controlled test conditions.
