30、of: a) checking that the container is not damaged and has no visual defect; b) checking that the manufacturing characteristics of the container to be tested are those specified in EN 12574-1; Copyright European Committee for Standardization Provided by IHS under license with CENNot for ResaleNo repr
31、oduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-EN 12574-2:2006 (E) 5 c) comparing the condition of the container before and after the sequence of tests. After completing the tests some deformation of the container is permissible, however, it shall remain entirely functional. 4.2 Contr
32、ol before the tests 4.2.1 Visual aspects No damage, no cracks, bubbles, large flashes or sharp edges shall be present. No surface defects (unsmooth areas; trails in colour) perceivable from a distance of 1 metre by a naked eye shall be visible. 4.2.2 Correspondence with EN 12574-1 4.2.2.1 Components
33、 Body, lid, wheels and other fittings shall be tested in line with the relevant container standard. 4.2.2.2 Sizes and dimensions Dimensions of the containers and components shall correspond to EN 12574-1. 4.2.2.3 Capacities Capacities of the container and its parts shall correspond to EN 12574-1. a)
34、 for the body, by tank method (see 4.2.2.4), up to 1 700 l, and by calculation for containers over 1 700 l; b) for the lid, if possible by tank method (see 4.2.2.4), if not by calculation; c) for the container, add the results obtained in a) and b) minus any duplicated capacities. 4.2.2.4 Tank metho
35、d The test equipment shall consist of a tank with sufficient capacity to receive the container to be tested. The test procedure is as follows: a) place the empty container in a tank, the container shall not be inclined; b) simultaneously fill the tank and the container with water at a temperature of
36、 (15 5) C; c) measure the quantity of water inside the container. The result of measurement shall be 1 % of the stated capacity of the container. 4.2.3 Masses limit deviations The limit deviations on the container mass claimed are as follows: for plastic containers 5 % and for metal containers 10 %.
37、 4.2.4 Colour The colour shall be defined and agreed upon between customer and supplier.

38、arking of the container shall correspond to EN 12574-1. 4.3 Control after the tests In spite of variations in deflection and sizes, it shall be possible to lift and tilt the container loaded according to 4.5 with nominal load safely on a designated lifting device and to move the container on its whe
39、els if any. 4.4 Conditions of the tests The tests shall be carried out at the following temperatures: T1= (23 5) C T2= ()0218 C. The minimum duration of conditioning before testing shall be 12 h. If the test is carried out outside the conditioned room and if the duration of the test is more than 5 m
40、in, then for each 5 min period of testing the container shall be reconditioned for at least 15 min before continuing the test. For special purposes a temperature lower than -18 C or higher than +23 C can be agreed; in this case it shall be indicated in the test report. 4.5 Test load For the calculat
41、ion of test loads either of the two following density values shall be taken: 0,25 kg/dm for light waste (e.g. for plastics, plastic bottles, flasks) 0,40 kg/dm for heavy waste (e.g. for glass, paper, organic waste, cardboard) The test load shall be the value of density as above multiplied by nominal
42、 volume and shall be HDPE granules in 25 kg bags having a specific mass of 0,5 kg/dm but no more than 1 750 kg. 4.6 Tests on the containers 4.6.1 General All tests shall be carried out on new containers, as per the sequence of tests in 4.10.4. 4.6.2 Impact test by ball drop The ball drop test is not
43、 compulsory for steel containers. The ability of the sensitive points such as welds and corners of the container to resist under impacts at temperature T2shall be tested. The stationary containers shall stand on their wheels (if they are fitted) or on their supports. Ball drop test shall be carried
44、out using a 5 kg steel cylinder, diameter 65 mm, with hemispheric end radius of 32,5 mm. The steel cylinder is guided in a vertical pipe with a slot or with holes in order to allow the air to escape during the drop. The following areas of containers shall be tested by impact test according to the co
45、nditions shown below: Copyright European Committee for Standardization Provided by IHS under license with CENNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-EN 12574-2:2006 (E) 7 a) on the inside of the bottom: at least 3 points beginning at the injection point(s)
46、(less than 20 mm from sprue point) and other potentially weak points (i.e. drain holes for instance); with a drop height of 1,5 m; with a frequency of 3 times per measuring point; b) at protrusions on the body (handle, top rim etc.), junctions between lid and body, hinges at the lid and protruding a
47、reas on the lid: with a drop height of 0,8 m and with a frequency of 2 impacts per measuring point. After tests, no permanent deformations or ruptures capable of hampering designed use are allowed. The device shall be according to Figure A.1. A test of segments is allowed with segments of approximat
48、ely a quarter of a square meter. At least the following critical area shall be sawed from the container and shall be tested: positioning wheel suspensions (see area 1 in Figure 1): this area shall be cut out from the bottom at a height of approximately 500 mm; frontal receiver (see area 2 in Figure 1): both corner parts shall be tested. The area should be 300 mm 300 mm large; hinge area (see area 3 in Figure 1): both corner parts shall be tested. The area should be 300 mm 300 mm large; lid (see area 4 in Figure 1): an area from the hinges to
