Ratings derived from this table are age adjusted

   Whenever the measured parameter is less than 85% of the predicted, Table 1.4 corresponds to the following formulas:

When the measured parameter is 85% or more of the predicted, then the impairment rating is defined as NIL

"%FEV1" means measured  FEV1 expressed as a percentage of predicted  FEV1.
"%FVC" means measured  FVC  expressed as a percentage of predicted   FVC. "%MEF" means measured MEF 25‑75 expressed as a percentage of predicted MEF 25–75.

In each case the percentage is to be rounded to the nearest integer before the formula is applied.
