4 +1 | power standard |

power standard Explanation: Yes, it's a reference to the power output of an automotive engine, as measured by the DIN method. See this definition from Transportstyrelsen at https://www21.vv.se/fordonsfraga/FordonsForklaring.aspx: "Effektnorm -- Standard för mätning av effekt." See this at the first link (scroll down to "The German Way: DIN Horsepower Ratings"): "DIN is short for Deutsche Industrienorm (German industry standard), a standard issued by the German national institute for standardization. That institute, known between 1926 and 1975 as Deutsche Normenausschuss (DNA), is now called Deutsches Institut für Normung, also abbreviated DIN. Among other things, the agency sets standards for how the horsepower and torque of automobile engines should be measured -- Deutsche Industrienorm 70020." See the second link for Google results for "power standards" + DIN + engine. Reference: http://ateupwithmotor.com/terms-and-definitions/terms-and-de... Reference: http://tinyurl.com/4v8bnwr |
