Introduction
Copyright © CEN/CENELEC- Licensed to SA for limited distribution and restricted use to PL-047 - Mobile Waste Containers. Delivered: 2021-NOV-08

This document is a type-C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100:2010.

This document is of relevance, in particular, for the following stakeholder groups representing the
market players with regard to machinery safety:
— machine manufacturers (small, medium and large enterprises);

— health and safety bodies (regulators, accident prevention organizations, market surveillance etc.).

Others can be affected by the level of machinery safety achieved with the means of the document by the
above-mentioned stakeholder groups:
— machine users/employers (small, medium and large enterprises);

— machine users/employees (e.g. trade unions, organizations for people with special needs);

— service providers, e.g. for maintenance (small, medium and large enterprises);

— consumers (in case of machinery intended for use by consumers).

The above-mentioned stakeholder groups have been given the possibility to participate at the drafting
process of this document.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events
are covered are indicated in the Scope of this document.
When requirements of this type-C standard are different from those which are stated in type-A or type-
B standards, the requirements of this type-C standard take precedence over the requirements of the
other standards for machines that have been designed and built according to the requirements of this
type-C standard.
This European Standard is intended for careful consideration by designers, manufacturers, suppliers
and users of RCVs.
This European Standard should be read in conjunction with:
— the documents developed for refuse collection vehicles (EN 1501-1:2021, EN 1501-2:2021 and
EN 1501-3:2021) which are compatible with the refuse container lifting devices specified in this
standard;

— the documents developed for mobile refuse containers according to EN 840:2020 (all parts), for
stationary refuse containers according to EN 12574:2017 (all parts) and for selective collection
containers according to EN 13071:2019 (all parts) which are compatible with the lifting devices
specified in this European Standard.

While producing this standard it was assumed that:

— for RCV the requirements of road traffic regulations apply. Where road traffic regulations are in
conflict with the provisions of this standard, the road regulations have priority;

— due to the European regulations on the approval of vehicles for use on public roads, the
requirements of UN/ECE R10:2019 for an RCV with regard to EMC applies. Therefore, EMC is not
further considered in this standard;

— the guidelines issued by the chassis manufacturer have been taken into account;

— the guidelines of the lifting device manufacturer have been taken into account;

5 Safety requirements and/or protective measures
Copyright © CEN/CENELEC- Licensed to SA for limited distribution and restricted use to PL-047 - Mobile Waste Containers. Delivered: 2021-NOV-08

5.1 General
5.1.1 Introduction

Lifting devices shall comply with the safety requirements and/or protective measures of this clause. In
addition, the lifting devices shall be designed according to the principles of EN ISO 12100:2010 for
relevant but not significant hazards which are not dealt with by this standard. All systems and
components shall be specified and installed in accordance with their manufacturer's instructions.
Intercompatibility between RCV and interchangeable refuse container lifting device shall be ensured.
All mechanical, electrical, pneumatic and hydraulic interfaces shall be available.
If different lifter systems are combined, the requirements specific for these systems shall be considered.
5.1.2 Design

[Link] General
Any crushing and shearing hazards shall be avoided or minimized by design according to
EN ISO 13857:2019 and EN ISO 13854:2019 or appropriate guard(s) according to EN ISO 14120:2015
or safeguards according to EN ISO 13855:2010.
The design shall take into account the dynamic impact of the lifting device on the connection between
the refuse container lifting device and the body of the RCV.
[Link] Distance to the ground
To prevent foot injuries, automatic or semi-automatic downwards movements shall be stopped
automatically when the distance between the lower edge of the lifting carriage and the level on which
the RCV is standing shall be at least 120 mm or 320 mm for lifting carriage which can operate on the
kerbside.
If movement of the lifting carriage down to the ground level is necessary, the distance between 120 mm
(320 mm) and the horizontal ground shall be controlled by a hold-to-run control device situated in a
position where the lifting carriage is in full view of the operator.
The control of the movement of the lifting carriage to the clearance position is allowed from the driver`s
position under the following conditions:
— max. lifting movement is limited to 400 mm from the lowest possible position of the lifting carriage;

— any crushing and shearing risk is prevented;

— automatic lifting is possible only after the RCV has started moving.

[Link] Hopper

The loading edge of the refuse container lifting device and/or the body shall be designed taking into
consideration the volume of the largest designated refuse container emptied by the refuse container
lifting device and the volume of the hopper, in order to avoid refuse falling out of the hopper.
When the hopper is emptied by the compaction mechanism at the same time as the refuse container
lifting device is being operated, the design shall be such that the designated refuse container shall not
collide with it.

[Link] Load
Copyright © CEN/CENELEC- Licensed to SA for limited distribution and restricted use to PL-047 - Mobile Waste Containers. Delivered: 2021-NOV-08

The refuse container lifting device shall be provided with a device preventing emptying in excess of the
maximum permissible load of the largest designated refuse container.
The maximum working load for the lifting device is the weight of the largest designated refuse
container plus 1,1 times its nominal load. This shall be applied at the centre of gravity of the largest fully
loaded refuse container.
The nominal load of the loaded refuse container is determined assuming a density of refuse as defined
in the standards of EN 840:2020 (all parts), EN 12574:2017 (all parts) or EN 13071:2019 (all parts).
[Link] Tests

The functional dynamic test load shall be 1,1 times the maximum working load for lifting up and down
in the nominal cycle time. The functional static test load shall be 1,25 times the maximum working load.
[Link] Guide system

The pick-up system shall be provided with a guide system to laterally position the designated refuse
container on the refuse container lifting device.
[Link] Locking system

The designated refuse container shall be kept locked during the emptying cycle of the lifting device
above a tilt angle of 45° from the vertical or 2 000 mm above the ground, even if electric, hydraulic or
pneumatic energy fails.
In the automatic or semi-automatic lifting mode, it shall be detected that the designated refuse
container is locked in position. Detection is only required for locking systems directly actuated by
electric, hydraulic and/or pneumatic energy. The detection device shall fulfil required performance
level PLr d according to EN ISO 13849-1:2015, as defined in 5.10.1.
[Link] Speed and acceleration

The minimum emptying cycle time, the maximum peripheral speed and the maximum acceleration of
the lifting device shall comply with the requirements in the following table depending on the type of
lifting device and the designated refuse container capacity.

Relationship between this Standard and the essential requirements of

EU Directive 2006/42/EC aimed to be covered

This European Standard has been prepared under a Commission’s standardization request
M/396 “Mandate to CEN and CENELEC for standardisation in the field of machinery” to provide one
voluntary means of conforming to essential requirements of Directive 2006/42/EC of the European
Parliament and of the Council of 17 May 2006 on machinery, and amending Directive 95/16/EC
(recast).
Once this standard is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union under that Directive,
compliance with the normative clauses of this standard given in Table ZA.1 confers, within the limits of
the scope of this standard, a presumption of conformity with the corresponding essential requirements
of that Directive and associated EFTA regulations.
