How are company specification claims verified? Is there a industry standard?
You mean power & torque?
I think the manufacturers measure it themselves and it might be verified later by the likes of this place in Nebraska which does independent testing. Don't remember this Nebraska facility's correct name and am not even sure it's still there.

Power, torque, lift capacity, digging depth etc. For example a 24HP Kubota with 1200 pound loader lift and 8' backhoe digging depth compared to a 24 HP John Deere with a 1000 pound loader and 6 1/2' digging depth. How do you know for sure the Kubota really can lift 200 pounds more etc.?
