Background
The first Standard Code for the Official Testing of Agricultural Tractors was approved on 21st April 1959, by the Council of the OEEC (Organisation for European Economic Co-operation) which became the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development). This Code has since been extended to cover forestry tractors and other features of performance, safety and noise.
