Nup, they still test for racing as well but they are more lenient than the track days.

My understanding is that they are supposed to test at 2/3rds (can't remember) revs at a distance of 1m from the can and at a 45 degree angle. On the track day the guy made me hold the bike at 8k and practically climbed in the can with the noise pressure meter! I just scraped through with Leo Vince cans on the 620.

On raceday I measured a lot less as he actually did stand back etc and I held the revs at 6k'ish.
