BS EN 12574-3:2017EN 12574-3:2017 (E) 4 1 Scope This part of EN 12574 specifies essential safety and health requirements for stationary waste containers (in the text also calle
18、d containers), not including special containers for hazardous waste. NOTE To help in the understanding of the requirements they are not split into separate safety, ergonomic and health sections but are divided into chapters dealing with constructional units. 2 Normative references The following docu
19、ments, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies.

22、 so that it shall be compatible with the designated lifting device and shall be automatically interlocked into the lifting device during the entire process of tilting and emptying. 4.2 The container shall be safely fitted to the lifting device of the refuse collection vehicles in accordance with the
23、 relevant part of EN 1501 without being carried or lifted manually. 4.3 The container shall be stable on an inclined surface of at least 10 (ten degrees) in any direction and in any load condition up to its nominal load. The average repose angle of the test load shall be considered. 5 Handles 5.1 Wh
24、eeled containers shall have handles fitted for manual positioning. 5.2 Handles for positioning the container shall have the external form shown in Figure 1 (based on the external form of Figure 1, the ring form section and the U-shaped form section are permitted). A minimum length of 120 mm and a mi
25、nimum clearance of 36 mm around the handle are required (see Figure 2). 5.3 Handles for manual positioning shall be fitted in a height range above the ground of 900 mm to 1 400 mm. 5.4 Handles shall be positioned such that they are clear of the supporting devices so that injuries from the vehicle li
26、fting device during picking up and lifting operations are avoided. BS EN 12574-3:2017EN 12574-3:2017 (E) 5 Dimensions in millimetres Figure 1 Handles (round, oval, rectangular) Dimensions in millimetres Key 1 handle Figure 2 Clearance 6 Wheels 6.1 Containers may be equipped with wheels for positioni
27、ng purposes only when empty. 6.2 Wheels for manual positioning shall have a nominal diameter of 200 mm minimum. At least two of them shall be designed as swivel castors. 6.3 The wheels and their position shall be such that the pulling forces are minimized and in any case below 285 N. 6.4 All wheels
28、or castors shall be constructed to resist static and dynamic stress, such as refuse collection vehicle (RCV) pushing the nominal loaded container. This can be achieved by stress calculation. 7 Immobilization The container shall be capable of being immobilized either by design or by device on a minim
29、um slope of 10 (ten degrees). 8 Edges The container shall not have any sharp edges (see EN 12574-1:2017, 5.5). BS EN 12574-3:2017EN 12574-3:2017 (E) 6 9 Lids and flaps for manual handling 9.1 To avoid the danger of crushed fingers when closing the lid and the flaps, dome lids and sliding mobile flap
30、s shall have a safety clearance to the front edge of at least 35 mm. This safety clearance shall be closed by an elastic material. 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 assiste
31、d lids shall be provided with a device to ensure that the container lid cannot cause injury by its movement. Spring reaction forces acting on the operator shall not exceed 75 N. This can be verified by visual inspection and measuring the force. 9.4 The container shall be designed in such a manner th
32、at, in particular, a childs head cannot be trapped between lid and body of the container and between the flap(s) and the lid. The container shall be tested according to EN 12574-2:2017, 4.10.4. 10 Cleaning and maintenance Containers shall be designed for easy cleaning. The container design shall fac
33、ilitate its maintenance. The container handling modes (out of collect) shall be safe and easy to use. 11 Marking The container shall be marked according to EN 12574-1:2017, Clause 10. 12 Information for use 12.1 Instructions for use shall be supplied so that the operator can have access to all avail
34、able information on the correct use of containers; this shall include safety and health requirements and maintenance instructions including frequencies. 12.2 So that purchasers and all users of the container can have the necessary information to enable them to choose and to use the container safely,
35、 the information made available should as a minimum include: reference to this European Standard (i.e. EN 12574-3:2017); nominal volume; total permissible mass, in kilograms (kg); type of the wheel bearings, if any; whether brakes are equipped or not; essential dimensions including height of the han
36、dles; information about the maximum permissible ground slope for use; pulling force which is measured during the type test according to EN 12574-2:2017.

37、ich is for the time being outside the competence of the CEN/ CENELEC member. DENMARK EN 12574-1:2017 to EN 12574-3:2017 does not fulfil the national Danish legislation regarding requirements for health and safety. This legislation is based on EEC-Directive 89/391/EC of 12 June 1989 and EEC-Directive
38、 90/269/EEC of 29 May 1990. The Danish legislation is written down in “Executive Order No. 867 of 13 October 1994 concerning Performance of Work” and in “Executive Order No. 1164 of 16 December 1994 concerning Manual Handling” both given by the Minister of Work. The Legal understanding of the Execut
39、ive Orders are written in the Danish Working Environment Service (WES) guidelines. WES-guideline No. 4.1.0.1 of 1993 describes “Manual handling and transportation of domestic garbage” and No. 4.1.0.2 describes “Construction of technical systems and equipment for handling domestic garbage” (former WE
40、S circular-order No. 10/1990). Therefore the manual handling and use of containers described in EN 12574-1:2017 to EN 12574-3:2017 in Denmark can be met with additional requirements.
