The problem with the flow chart is that it does not show HOW the decibel test is to be administered. If you have ever used a decibelmeter, you would know what I mean. There are different weight settings, and distances, and rpms that will cause widely varying results.
It very much leaves the pass/fail up to the inspector. There is another section that deals with how to measure the decibels, but I would be willing to bet that 1/2 the shops with a VI licence dont even have a proper decibel meter.
