Today, our country is one of the self-sufficient countries in the world in terms of agricultural production. However, our country has to develop this potential. A portion of our total land close to 40 is arable land. It is also surrounded by seas on three sides and has a very long coastline. There are plenty of water resources in our country. It has different climatic characteristics in terms of our geographical location and almost all agricultural products can be grown with soil presence, soil structure and sunshine period.

In agricultural production, it is essential to use machinery to achieve high yields. A wide variety of machines are used in both agricultural activities and forestry. When mechanization in agriculture is mentioned, it is understood that agricultural activities are carried out by using machinery and energy. In this way, it is possible to produce at higher capacity and faster.

The use of machinery in agriculture increases the efficiency and economy of other technological methods. Working conditions are also improved. Today, from an economic point of view, the cost of energy and machinery use is always at the top of the agricultural production inputs.

In the agricultural machinery production sector, all of the agricultural machines produced are used in agricultural production activities. These machines reduce costs in agricultural production, enable the use of modern technologies, increase labor productivity and enable timely processing. However, some of these machines are powered by electrical energy and in this respect, the safety of employees and property safety of the enterprises are under some danger.

The main machinery used in agriculture today are: agricultural tractors, motor hoes, motor mowers, tillage and seed bed preparation machines, sowing and planting machines, fertilizing machines, irrigation systems, harvesting machines and threshing machines.

Among the companies operating in the agricultural machinery sector, the number of those who put CE marking on their products is increasing. The CE mark is a sign that the agricultural and forestry machinery in question complies with the European Union directives and the regulations put into force in our country on the basis of these directives and undergoes the necessary conformity assessment studies. Products with the CE mark on it, if used for the purpose of people's life and property safety and will not harm the environment means. In short, the CE mark indicates that these products are reliable.

Within this framework, LVD tests are performed by the test and inspection institutions on agricultural and forestry machinery.
