Schwalbe techniques for measuring are published. As they maintain the ETRTO standard practice.
I'm tight for time now (on the pot on my mobile after returning from Oxford trying to get another big deal done with a different biotech company) but when I have a sec I'll post the documents. They're from the same publication that I posted from earlier.
I'd be surprised if continental didn't do they same thing for tyres made in Germany but they may not. They're a much larger and diverse company than Schwalbe as bicycle tyres are a much smaller component of they're business. I would also wager they're on fewer bikes as OEM than Schwalbe for the EU marker (tighter tolerances are important for framebuilding factories in Taiwan.)
