DIN EN 840-6:2013-02 EN 840-6:2012 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standar
22、d provides the essential safety, health and ergonomic requirements for mobile waste and recycling containers according to EN 840-1 to EN 840-4, not including hazardous wastes containers. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document
23、and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN 840-5:2012, Mobile waste and recycling containers Part 5: Performance requirements and test me
24、thods 3 General requirements of construction 3.1 The container shall be constructed so that when it is unloaded or loaded with a nominal mass, it has a secure fit on an approved compatible lifting device and shall be automatically locked safely into the lifting device during the tilting and emptying
25、 operation. 3.2 The container shall be safely fitted to the lifting 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
26、exceed the values given in EN 840-5:2012, 4.9. Pushing and pulling 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
27、and position of centre of gravity in relation to positioning of 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 tw
28、o hands. Four wheeled containers shall have handles for pushing, 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 ext
29、ernal form of Figure 1 ring form section and U-shaped form section are permitted). A minimum length of 120 mm and a minimum clearance of 36 mm around the handle is required (see Figure 2). 4.3 Handles for pulling, pushing and manoeuvring the container shall be positioned at a height of (90040025+) m
30、m (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 DIN EN 840-6:2013-02 EN 840-6:2012 (E) 5 (centre of gravity above the wheel axle). For containers less th
31、an 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. 2 wheeled containers shall be filled with the test load for
32、the test, their lids shall be closed. 4.4 If handles are positioned above the trunnion they shall have a safety guard according to Figure 3.

33、012 (E) 6 Dimensions in millimetres Figure 3 Handles above trunnion 5 Wheels 5.1 Containers with 4 wheels and a capacity not exceeding 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 the
34、ir position shall ensure a minimum of pushing/pulling force and good stability. 5.3 The wheels on all containers shall have a nominal diameter of 200 mm. Wheels of nominal diameter of 160 mm on four-wheeled containers as well as larger wheels on two-wheeled containers are optional, as long as pushin
35、g 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 to EN 840-5). 5.5 If castor-mounting brackets are used they shall not protrude beyond the widest part of the container body. 6 D
36、irection block When direction blocks are fitted on containers with 4 wheels they shall be fitted to at least two wheels. DIN EN 840-6:2013-02 EN 840-6:2012 (E) 7 7 Brakes 7.1 General remark: When brakes are fitted on containers with 4 wheels they shall be fitted to at least 2 wheels. 7.2 The brakes
37、shall be adjustable or self-compensating and capable of retaining the container 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 shall be possible to secure it ag
38、ainst unauthorised unlocking. 7.5 The brakes shall be tested according to EN 840-5:2012, 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 th
39、e danger of crushed fingers when closing the lid, dome lids shall have a safety 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 aut
40、omatically and prevent it from accidentally closing. 9.3 Containers with assisted 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 trap
41、ped between lid and body of the container. For dome lid container, a minimum 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 acco
42、rding to EN 840-5:2012, 4.11.5. 10 Cleaning Containers shall be designed for easy cleaning. 11 Instructions for use 11.1 Instructions for use shall be supplied so that the operator can have access to all available information on the correct use of containers. DIN EN 840-6:2013-02 EN 840-6:2012 (E) 8
43、 Those instructions shall give information on all relevant factors to enable correct usage of a container. Also safety and health requirements shall be included. 11.2 In order to give purchasers and all users of the container the necessary information to enable them to correctly choose and safely us
44、e the containers, the information provided shall as a minimum include: number of the European Standard (e.g. EN 840-6); volume; total permissible mass; wheel diameter; type of the wheel bearings; whether direction blocks are fitted or not; whether brakes are equipped or not; adjusted braking torque;
45、 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. The lid(s) shall be closed before the lifting device pick up the container. This information shall conform to th
46、e delivered container.
