2、tion of EN 840-1:2012. It supersedes BS EN 840-1:2004, which is withdrawn.BSI, as a member of CEN, is obliged to publish EN 840-1 as a British Standard. However, attention is drawn to the fact that during the develop-ment of this European Standard, the UK committee voted against its approval as a Eu
3、ropean Standard. Two of the major manufacturers of plastic wheeled containers have expressed concern regarding the apparent use of dimensions in the standard which would appear to exclude contain-ers presently on the market in the UK and in use by both public and private sectors. These concerns were
4、 addressed at a CEN working group meeting and the UK committee therefore wish to point out the following:a) the volume criteria present in Table 1 of the standard should be interpreted separately from the dimensions which appear in Table 2 and Table 3 of the standard, i.e. the two criteria, volumes
5、and dimensions are mutually exclusive; andb) products are included in EN 840-1:2012 if they fulfil EN 840-1:2004.The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted by Technical Committee B/508, Waste Management to Subcommittee B/508/1, Waste containers and associated lifting devices on refuse col
