NOTE Terms for components of mobile waste and recycling containers and lifting devices in three languages are given in Annex A of EN 840-1:2012. 4 Tests 4.1 General Before and after the tests a visu
28、al inspection of the container shall be done for the purpose of: a) checking that the container is not damaged and has no visual defect; BS EN 840-5:2012EN 840-5:2012 (E) 5 b) checking that the manufacturing characteristics of the container to be tested are those specified in the standards applying
29、to the container according to EN 840-1 to EN 840-4; c) comparing the condition of the container before and after the sequence of the tests. After completing the tests some deformation of the container is permissible, however, it shall remain entirely functional. 4.2 Control before the tests 4.2.1 Vi
30、sual aspects No obvious damage, cracks, bubbles, large flashes or sharp edges shall be present. No surface defects (unsmooth areas; trails in colour) perceivable from a distance of 1 m by the naked eye shall be visible. 4.2.2 Compatibility with EN 840-1 to EN 840-4 4.2.2.1 Components Body, lid, whee
31、ls and other fittings shall conform to the relevant container standard. 4.2.2.2 Sizes and dimensions Functional and safety dimensions for the container and its components shall be checked according to the figures and the relevant tables of EN 840-1 to EN 840-4. 4.2.2.3 Volumes The volumes of contain
32、er shall be measured: a) for the body, by tank method; b) for the lid, by tank method; c) volume results in a) and b) minus any duplicated volumes. The volumes shall be within the tolerances according to EN 840-1 to EN 840-4. For containers according to EN 840-3 volume measurement by means of calcul
33、ation is allowed. 4.2.2.4 Tank method The test equipment shall consist of a tank with sufficient capacity to receive the container to be tested. The test procedure is as follows: place the empty container in a tank, the container shall not be inclined; simultaneously fill the tank and the container
34、with water at a temperature of (15 5) C; measure the quantity of water inside the container. Accuracy of measurement shall be 1 % of the measured capacity of the container. BS EN 840-5:2012EN 840-5:2012 (E) 6 4.2.3 Deflection for comb lifting system The frontal receiver shall have a horizontal defle
35、ction of no more than: a) 1,5 % of the length of the frontal receiver for plastic; b) 0,6 % of the length for steel. For other systems the values are to be defined when the systems are standardised. 4.2.4 Masses The tolerances on the container mass claimed are as follows: for plastic containers 5 %
36、and for metal containers 10 %. 4.2.5 Colour The colour shall be defined and agreed between customer and supplier. For colour measurement, differences and tolerances refer to existing International Standards. 4.2.6 Marking Marking of the container shall correspond to EN 840-1 to EN 840-4. 4.3 Control
37、 after the tests Not withstanding 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 the designated lifting equipment and to move the container on its wheels. 4.4 Conditions of the test The tests shall be carrie
38、d out at the following temperatures: T1= (23 5) C T2= (0218 ) C. The minimum duration of conditioning before testing at a test temperature T2shall be 12 h. If the test shall be carried out outside the room conditioned at T2it shall be carried out within 5 min after taking the test pieces from the co
39、nditioned room. If the duration of the tests is more than 5 min, then the container shall be kept in the conditioned room for at least 15 min before a new 5 min period of testing. For special purposes a temperature lower than -18 C or higher than 23 C can be agreed; in this case it shall be indicate
40、d in the test report. 4.5 Test load For the test the containers are to be filled with ballast bags of HDPE granules of 4 kg max., with granules having a density of 0,5 kg/dm. The test load shall be 0,4 kg/dm multiplied by nominal volume, but not more than 440 kg. 4.6 Other test conditions Any other
41、test conditions shall be defined within the tests involved. BS EN 840-5:2012EN 840-5:2012 (E) 7 4.7 Tests on the containers 4.7.1 General All tests shall be carried out on new containers. 4.7.2 Impact tests by ball drop The ball drop test is not compulsory for steel containers. The ability of sensit
42、ive points of the container to resist impacts at low temperature shall be tested under conditions in 4.4. The 2-wheeled containers shall be placed on a concrete or steel surface in the normal position. There shall be a steel frame between the concrete surface or the steel surface and the container s
43、o that the complete area of the bottom of the container can be deflected during the test. The 4-wheeled containers shall stand on their wheels. Ball drop tests shall be carried 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
44、vertical pipe with a slot or with holes in order to allow the air to escape during the drop. The device shall be according to Figure 1.
