17、: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. The purpose of this standard is to combine the national standards into one single European Standard to
18、 ensure for the fure a free, unimpeded circulation of swap bodies in Europe within roadhail combined transport. Q BSI 10-1999 Page 4 EN 12410:lW Introduction Thermal swap bodies are transportation equipment for transporting perishable goods. 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the dimensions an
19、d basic requirements for thermal swap bodies of class A. These swap bodies are suitable for international exchange and for conveyance by road and rail including interchange between these forms of transport.

For larger widths, the national roa

33、 the class C requirements of the ATP2 agreement, the purpose of which is to facilitate international transportation of perishable goods between the national signatory parties. NOTE The denomination “class A” according to the present standard is independent of the ATP classification index for transpo
34、rtation vehicles. 5.1.2 The strength requirements for swap bodies are given in EN 283:1991. The swap bodies as complete units shall be capable of withstanding the loads and loadings specified in EN 283: 1991. 5.1.3 The refrigeration or heating equipment need not necessarily be in place when the swap
35、 body is tested. But if any of the main parts or frameworks of the refrigeration or heating equipment is not in position for any structural test, the ability of that part or framework to wihstand the appropriate proportion of any relevant cargo loading andor the forces or accelerations to which the
36、swap body and equipment may be subjected in the service for which it was designed shall be established independently. If parts of the refrigeration or heating equipment which contribute to the strength or integnty of the swap body in service are not in position for structural testing, substitute fra
37、mework and/or panelling may be employed during such testing provided that such substitute components are secured in the same manner as the equipment itself and do not provide greater strength than the equipment would have provided (see IS0 1496-2:1988,6.11). 5.2 Devices for hanging cargo3 5.2.1 If t
38、he roof of a swap body is intended to carry a hanging cargo, the requirements given in 5.2.2 to 5.2.5 shall applyy in addition to 5.1. 5.2.2 One of the following tests (5.23 or 5.2.4) shall be carried out to prove the ability of the roof structure of the swap body to withstand longitudinal restraint
39、 under dynamic conditions which imply accelerations or decelerations of 2gn measured at the bottom fittings. 5.2.3 The swap body shall be unifomdy loaded to 1R. The load shall be attached to the roof in a manner simulating normal service loadings, while the swap body is positioned centrally on a rai
40、l wagon. The wagon is 2, ATP: Agreement for the international carriage of perishable foodstuffs and on the special equipment to be used for such carriage. 3, Only where fitted.

41、eceleration of 2gn is measured on the bottom fittings of the swap body, measurements being taken using accelerometers with the resulting signals filtered through a 16 Hz filter. This test shall be camed out in both directions with the swap body secured by the bottom fittings leading in the direction
42、 of travel in each case. 5.2.4 Alternatively, the static test as shown in Figure 3 shall be applied. The swap body in tare condition shall be secured through the bottom apertures of the bottom fittings. Forces of 56 kN shall be applied simultaneously to each of the top comers on the rear end of the
43、swap body in lines parallel both to the base and the side walls of the swap body. The forces shall be applied towards the swap body (horizontal push) using the test stamp specified in Figure 3 detail X. In a second step, the same test shall be applied to the front end of the swap body without the re
44、efer unit mounted onto the swap body. Each end wall shall be tested for 5 min. 5.2.5 On completion of the test, the swap body shall show neither permanent deformation which will render it unsuitable for use nor abnormality which will render it unsuitable for use, and the diagonal differences must no
45、t be more than 19 mm as specified in Table 1. 5.3 Strength of refrigeration or beating unit attachment This test shall be camed out to prove the ability of the swap body end frame to support loading due to the installed mass of the removable refigeration or heating unit under dynamic conditions of 2
46、gn acceleration or deceleration. The swap body in tare condition shall be secured through the bottom apertures of the bottom fittings. A test Frame shall be used for this test as shown in Figure 5 and shall be mounted onto the swap body in place of the refiigeration or heating unit. All bolts intend
47、ed by the manufacturer of the swap body for the attachment of the refiigeration or heating unit shall be used for the attachment of the test frame. A force equal to the mass of the refigeration or heating unit x 2gn shall be applied away from the refigeration or heating unit attachment (horizontal p
48、ull). The minimum test force shall be 12 kN. The test force shall be applied for 5 min.
