Not defending John, just trying to help you understand.
One does really need any technical knowledge (electrical, statistical or anything else) to see that the wording of the regulation is unsatisfactory. If a regulation specifies voltage limits for one specified frequency, it is apparent that it leaves readers without any idea what the limits would be at other frequencies.
Where did you get -15% +10% from?
Were they not the voltage limits (for 'at nominal frequency') in the ESQCR regulation you posted? (I can't really be bothered to hunt through 15 pages to find out!)
Kind Regards, John
