 ### Emit a LogRecord
 
 If [Observed Timestamp](./data-model.md#field-observedtimestamp) is unspecified,
 the implementation SHOULD set it equal to the current time.
 
+**Status**: [Development](../document-status.md) Before processing a log record,
+the implementation MUST apply the filtering rules defined by the
+[LoggerConfig](#loggerconfig) (in case `Enabled` was not called prior to
+emitting the record):
+
+1. **Minimum severity**: If the log record's
+   [SeverityNumber](./data-model.md#field-severitynumber) is specified
+   (i.e. not `0`) and is less than the configured `minimum_severity`, the log
+   record MUST be dropped.
+
+2. **Trace-based**: If `trace_based` is `true`, and if the log record has a
+   [`SpanId`](./data-model.md#field-spanid) and the
+   [`TraceFlags`](./data-model.md#field-traceflags) SAMPLED flag is unset,
+   the log record MUST be dropped.
+
 ### Enabled
 
 `Enabled` MUST return `false` when either:
 
-- there are no registered [`LogRecordProcessors`](#logrecordprocessor),
+- there are no registered [`LogRecordProcessors`](#logrecordprocessor).
 - **Status**: [Development](../document-status.md) - `Logger` is disabled
-  ([`LoggerConfig.disabled`](#loggerconfig) is `true`),
+  ([`LoggerConfig.disabled`](#loggerconfig) is `true`).
+- **Status**: [Development](../document-status.md) - the provided severity
+  (if specified) is less than the configured `minimum_severity` in the
+  [`LoggerConfig`](#loggerconfig).
+- **Status**: [Development](../document-status.md) - `trace_based` is
+  `true` in the [`LoggerConfig`](#loggerconfig) and the current context is
+  associated with an unsampled trace.
 - **Status**: [Development](../document-status.md) - all registered
   `LogRecordProcessors` implement [`Enabled`](#enabled-1),
   and a call to `Enabled` on each of them returns `false`.
