Tractor E-mark certification

The EU type certification (also known as EU e-mark certification) for agricultural and forestry tractors, trailers and their parts is a mandatory certification for EU member states.

In 1974, the European Community (predecessor of the European Union) began to implement tractor product type certification in accordance with the 74/150/EEC directive. In 2003, the EU implemented Directive 2003/37/EC, which replaced Directive 74/150/EEC. In 2016, the European Union began to implement a new tractor type certification framework directive (EU) 167/2013, which replaced the previous directive system.
