22、 undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European Standard only
23、when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of the publication referred to applies (including amendments). EN 840-5:2004, Mobile waste containers Part 5: Performance requirements and test methods. 3 General requirements of construction 3.1 The containe
24、r shall be constructed so that when it is unloaded or loaded with a nominal load, it has a secure fit on an approved compatible lifting device and must be automatically locked safely into the lifting device during the tilting and emptying operation. 3.2 The container shall be safely fitted to the li
25、fting device of the vehicle without being carried or lifted manually. 3.3 Wheeled containers shall be constructed so that under test conditions according to EN 840-5 the pushing and pulling forces to keep the container moving shall not exceed the values given in EN 840-5:2004, 4.9. Pushing and pulli
26、ng forces shall be declared in the instructions for use (see clause 11). 3.4 During construction of containers the following factors influencing measurable handling force shall be optimised: design of container as regards to form, size and position of centre of gravity in relation to positioning of
27、wheels and handles; even distribution of loads on wheels; low rolling resistance. 4 Handles 4.1 Two wheeled containers shall have handles for pulling, pushing and manoeuvring the container that enable the operator to grip safely with two hands. Four wheeled containers shall have handles for pushing,
28、 pulling, manoeuvring and lifting the container. Injuries caused by sharp edges shall be avoided. 4.2 Handles for pulling, pushing and manoeuvring the container shall have one of the external forms as shown in Figure 1 (based on the external form of Figure 1 ring form section and U-shaped form secti
29、on are permitted). A minimum length of 120 mm and a minimum clearance of 36 mm around the handle is required (see Figure 2).

30、ushing and manoeuvring the container shall be positioned at a height of (90040025+) mm (measured in the middle of the handle) above the ground. On two wheeled containers, for containers with a volume 140 l, these handles shall have a minimum height of 800 mm in a tilted position (centre of gravity a
31、bove the wheel axle). For containers less than 140 l the handles shall have a minimum height of 700 mm. On four wheeled containers vertical handles are optional. If two handles are fitted they shall be a minimum of 450 mm apart and shall cover a height range from 780 mm to 1 050 mm.“ 4.4 Handles for
32、 lifting containers over kerbstones shall be at a height of between 700 mm and 850 mm from the ground. 4.5 If handles are positioned above the trunnion they shall have a safety guard according to Figure 3.

34、ing 1 700 l shall only have swivel castor wheels. Containers for towing with four wheels can have two fixed wheels or wheels which could be fixed. 5.2 The wheels and their position shall ensure a minimum of pushing/pulling force and good stability. 5.3 The wheels on all containers shall have a nomin
35、al diameter of 200 mm. Wheels of nominal diameter of 160 mm on 4 wheeled containers are optional provided the pulling and pushing forces are not exceeded (see 3.3). 5.4 All wheels or castors shall be constructed to resist static and dynamic stress, e. g. by rolling against kerbstones (test according
36、 to EN 840-5). 5.5 If castor-mounting brackets are used they shall not protrude beyond the widest part of the container body.

37、ection blocks are fitted on containers with 4 wheels they shall be fitted to at least 2 wheels. 7 Brakes 7.1 General When brakes are fitted on containers with 4 wheels they shall be fitted to at least 2 wheels. 7.2 The brakes shall be adjustable or self-compensating and capable of retaining the cont
38、ainer on a minimum slope of ten degrees to the horizontal. 7.3 Brakes shall be capable of being used easily by the operator. 7.4 If containers are fitted with a central brake locking system it must be possible to secure it against unauthorised unlocking. 7.5 The brakes shall be tested according to E
39、N 840-5:2004, 4.9.4. 8 Edges 8.1 The container shall not have any sharp edges (a radius less than 1,4 mm). 8.2 All edges which may be used for manoeuvring shall be rounded so that nobody can be injured. 9 Lids 9.1 To avoid the danger of crushed fingers when closing the lid, dome lids shall have a sa
40、fety clearance to the front edge of at least 35 mm. The gap shall be closed by an elastic material. Flat lids shall not damage fingers. 9.2 Containers with dome lids shall be provided with a mechanism to hold the lid open automatically and prevent it from accidentally closing. 9.3 Containers with as
41、sisted lids shall be provided with a device to ensure that the container lid cannot cause injury by its movement. 9.4 The dome lid container shall be designed in such a manner that, in particular, a childs head cannot be trapped between lid and body of the container. For dome lid container, a minimu
42、m gap of 181 mm shall be kept between lid and body of the container. This gap shall not be closed either automatically (by spring force or gravity) or unintentionally by a childs hand force. The container shall be tested according to EN 840-5:2004, 4.11.5. 10 Cleaning Containers shall be designed fo
43、r easy cleaning.

45、o correctly choose and safely use the containers, the information provided shall as a minimum include: number of the European Standard (e.g. EN 840-2); volume; total permissible mass; wheel diameter; type of the wheel bearings; whether direction blocks are fitted or not; whether brakes are equipped
46、or not; adjusted braking torque; whether a central brake lock is equipped; pulling force, measured using the type test (see EN 840-5); essential dimensions including height of handles in the upright and tilted position. This information shall conform to the delivered container. SANS 95-6:2009This s
