Standards and Regulations 

The DLG Committee for Standards and Regulations

The DLG Committee for Standards and Regulations is established in the Agricultural Technology Department and is currently made up of 13 full members and eleven guests. In addition to agriculture and consulting, we also represent industry and trade. As the topic also involves legal issues, the committee also includes representatives from the German Ministry of Agriculture (BMEL), the German Engineering Federation (VDMA), the German Farmers' Association (DBV), the German Federation of Cooperative Employers' Liability Insurance Associations (BLB) and the Board of Trustees for Technology and Construction in Agriculture (KTBL).
