Development and Operation of OECD Tractor Test Code 730762
The paper discusses historical development of the OECD test code for agricultural tractors, and describes the present form of tests and their implications. Centralized administration and technical supervision are provided by the scheme which attempts to reduce barriers to trade by avoidance of the need for duplication of testing. Possible future developments in the use of the code in relation to the European Common Market and other legislative authorities' requirements are mentioned.
