
To test Tractors, implements, engines, pumps and other
agricultural machines manufactured in the country with a
view to assess their functional suitability and performance
characteristics as per national and international test
codes and test regulations under different agro
climatic conditions.
Serve as a basis to decide the type of machinery best
suited for Indian conditions, which could be encouraged
for production and popularization
Help the farmers and other prospective purchasers in
determining the comparative performance of machinery
available in the market.
Form basis for standard specifications to be used by the
manufacturers and distributors
OBJECTIVES OF TESTING
