NOTE Terms for components of mobile waste and recycling containers and lifting devices in three languages are gi
26、ven in Annex A of EN 840-1:2012. 3.1 mobile waste and recycling container appropriately designed container fitted with wheels intended to temporarily store waste 3.2 lifting device structure which picks-up, tilts and empties containers 3.3 comb lifting device lifting device in which the picking-up s
27、ystem consists of a row of teeth and a locking system to retain the container during emptying 3.4 trunnion lifting device lifting device in which the picking-up system consists of a pair of arms with automatic locking mechanism to fit the trunnion to retain the container during emptying 3.5 BG lifti
28、ng device lifting device in which the picking-up system consists of a pair of arms with adaptors that fit the BG receivers and locks them in order to retain the container during emptying Note 1 to entry: See Figures 5 and 6.

29、iner when the lid is closed 3.7 nominal volume capacity volume stated by the manufacturer Note 1 to entry: See Table 1 without tolerances. Note 2 to entry: The English term “capacity“ and the French term “capacit“ are translated in the German version by the term “Nennvolumen“. 3.8 nominal mass mass,
30、 which is calculated as given in Clause 6 3.9 total permissible mass mass of the container plus the nominal load 3.10 functional and safety dimensions essential dimensions which ensure the functionality and interchangeability of the container with the compatible lifting device and which are necessar
31、y for the operators safety and health 4 Volumes This part of EN 840 identifies the two classes of containers: Class I - small size (nominal volume up to 1 050 l); Class II - large size (nominal volume between 1 050 l and 1 700 l). Within the two above-mentioned classes of containers the following vo
32、lumes are identified: 750 l, 1 000 l, 1 300 l, 1 400 l, 1 500 l, 1 600 l and 1 700 l. Nominal volumes different from those referenced can be used by agreement between user and manufacturer. The tolerance of the volumes shall be 5 % maximum measured according to EN 840-5. 5 Dimensions and design 5.1
33、The design of the containers do not need to correspond to the drawings given in Figure 1. The functional dimensions given in Table 1 shall be respected. Recommendations for manufacturers of lifting devices are given in Annex A (see also EN 1501-1). 5.2 The container shall be constructed so that when
34、 it is unloaded or loaded with a nominal load (see Clause 6), it fits on an approved compatible lifting device. It shall be automatically locked safely into the lifting device during the lifting operation. If the container is equipped with a comb receiver, it shall correspond to Figure 2. 5.3 The li
35、d(s) shall cover the opening of the container completely. It shall be opened easily by itself during the emptying cycle It/they shall be made with at least two fixing points and have at least one means of opening.

36、have a measurement over the handles of 10 mm less than the actual measurement in Table 1, dimension N 33. The handles and their location also shall be designed so that they do not damage the operator. 5.5 If the container has ribs in the frontal receiver they shall meet the requirements of Figure 4.
37、 5.6 The container shall have four swivel castors. Each swivel castor shall be capable of withstanding 1/3 of the total permissible mass. Each castor shall meet the requirements of EN 840-5. The container shall have facilities for mounting the castor platine according to at least one of the measurem
38、ents as shown in Figure 7. 5.7 All the surfaces of the container including design features shall be smooth and free of any foreign bodies or flaws. 5.8 The container should have a drain plug. 5.9 When direction locks are fitted they shall be fixed on at least 2 castors. 5.10 The container should be
39、fitted with 2 braked wheels to requirements of EN 840-5. In case of centralised braking and locking system the brake pedal and the lock shall be fixed on a lateral side of the container. The centralised locking shall be able to be unlocked with a standard triangular key as shown in Figure 8. The eff
40、ectiveness of this centralised braking system shall conform to EN 840-5. 6 Nominal mass The container shall be constructed strongly enough to carry a mass of 0,4 kg/dm x nominal volume. Containers with a nominal volume of more than 1 100 l shall be constructed strongly enough to carry a load of 440
41、kg. 7 Safety and health requirements The container shall meet the safety and health requirements according to EN 840-6. 8 Testing The container shall fulfil the performance requirements and the tests of EN 840-5. 9 Marking 9.1 Each container complying with the requirements of this part of EN 840 sha
42、ll be durably and readably marked on the body in a visible part with: number of this European Standard (EN 840-4); nominal volume; manufacturers name or trademark; total permissible mass, in kilograms; year and month of manufacturing.
