Dear Thomas,

THANK you very much. This is a nice table summarizing many parameters.
  I was initially concerned with the French
content since I don't speak French but the table contains mostly letters
and numbers.

I have also found an English translation of the document:
http://www.admin.ch/ch/e/rs/8/814.501.en.pdf

I am now looking into converting the table (in Appendix 3) into a
readable format for processing with a python scripts
for example.

Best wishes,
Mina
