NOTE Terms for components of mobile waste and recycling containers and lifting devices in three languages are given in Annex A.
3.1
mobile waste and recycling container
appropriately designed container fitted with wheels intended to temporarily store waste
3.2
lifting device
structure which picks-up, tilts and empties containers
3.5
nominal volume
capacity
volume stated by the manufacturer
Note 1 to entry: See Table 1 without tolerances.
Note 2 to entry: The English term capacity and the French term capacite” are translated in the German version by the term Nennvolumen.
3.6
nominal load
load mass of 0,4 kg/dm3 x nominal volume
Note ito entry: See Clause 6.
3.7
total permissible mass
mass of the container plus the nominal load
3.8
functional and safety dimension
essential dimensions which ensure the functionality and interchangeability of the container with the compatible lifting device arid which are necessary for the operators safety and health
4 Volumes
This standard identifies the two classes of containers:
— Class I – small size (nominal volume up to 200 I);
— Class II – large size (nominal volume between 200 1 and 400 I).
Within the two above-mentioned classes of containers the volumes shown in Table 1 are identified.
For methods of measuring capacity, see EN 840-5.
The volumes shown in Table 1 correspond to mobile waste and recycling container’s capacities at present used in Europe. Since there are some overlapping capacities due to the tolerances, client and manufacturer shall decide while ordering the capacity chosen.
Nominal volumes different from those referenced in Table 1 can be used by agreement between user and manufacturer. The tolerance of the volumes shall be ± 10 % maximum measured according to EN 840-5. Table 2 includes examples of the most frequent assignments of classes and volumes of the containers.
5.1 The design of the containers need not correspond to the drawings given in Figure 1. The functional dimensions given in Tables 3 and 4 shall be respected. For compatibility in lifting devices, the container shall correspond to its dimensions within the selected class type (Table 3, Table 4).
5.2 The container shall be constructed so that when it is unloaded or loaded with a nominal load (see Clause 6). it fits on an approved compatible lifting device. It shall be automatically locked safely into the lifting device during the lifting operation. The frontal receiver shall correspond to one of the options given In Figure 2 (Form A or B).
5.3 The lid(s) shall cover the opening of the container completely. It shall be opened easily by itself during the emptying cycle. It/they shall be made with at least 2 fixing points and have at least one means of opening.
5.4 Each wheel shall be capable of withstanding a static load of 100 kg.
5.5 All the surfaces of the contarner including design features shall be smooth and free of any foreign bodies or flaws.
5.6 The container shall be able to be immobilised by design.
6 Nominal mass
The container shall be constructed strongly enough to carry a mass of 0,4 kg/dm3 x nominal volume.
7 Safety and health requirements
The container shall meet the safety and health requirements according to EN 840-6.
8 Testing
The container shall fulfil the performance requirements and the tests of EN 840-5.
9 Marking
9.1 Each container complying with the requirements of this document shall be durably and readably marked on the body in a visible part with:
— number of this document (EN 840-1);
— nominal volume;EN 840-1-2020 pdf download.
