Based on reading a translation of the document, these limits look right.
What I can't find is any indication of whether TPC or DFS is required in
any of these ranges (based on the existing rules there seems to be a
requirement for DFS at least). Possibly it's just not coming across in
the translation; could you check whether there's any information about
TPC or DFS, and if not see if that information is perhaps found
elsewhere?

Thanks,
