Neither have 16 of your peers.
It will probably end up being one of the other old farts who trust nothing CAN READ, AREN"T COLOUR BLIND that catches the error, or is it an intentional scam?
The percentages seem backwards or mislabelled? unsatisfactory is greater than regulation target..??

Right back at you. ;)

I can do that for you no problem!
All you gotta do is let me know what you want done. I got everything to do top-to-bottom exterior, and everything interior up to, and including steam cleaning of the carpets, mats, and seats if you got cloth.. or leather cleaner and conditioner app. if you got leather seating
Let me know....the options are endless
I miss my sedan :(

NO s**t.. :) you learn something new everyday
COOL
Let's say for the head region that (because of your brain) your skull has to sustain 100 Newtons of force to cause a severe injury. (I picked 100N for an example and ease of use, not an actual figure.)
This 100N is the "regulation target"
In a front end collision, if the head was only subjected to 50N, it would be a "Good" ie. <65% of the regulation target (no or little injury)
At 70N it would be "Satisfactory" ie >65% reg. target (ie. bruising)
...and so on.
When you reach 100% of the reg target (at the point between the brown and red) is where critical damage occurs. ie. Brain trauma
Each section has its own set of criteria based on the stress that body part can take. That max stress value is the "regulation target" for that area.
That "target" value can move down as they tighten safety requirements ie government regs.

Yes.
In this case, you don't WANT to hit the standard. Think of it as the "failure" point rather than the "pass" point.
It's sort of reverse logic, but that's typical for those wacky Germans. :D
Yeah that's how I was reading the chart too..
