Combine-harvester, commonly known as combine, is used for a combination of operations, such as, harvesting, threshing, separating and cleaning, particularly for cereal crops. As a result of its increasing use in the country, the standard was brought out to help the testing authorities for the assessment of the performance of the combine on uniform and rationalized basis.

This standard (Part 2) covering the method of various tests to be conducted to assess the performance of the combine including its prime mover, in case of self-propelled type combine was first published in 1981 and subsequently revised in 2000.
