lifting devices  Dimensions and design;
 Part 4: Containers with 4 wheels with a capacity up to 1 700 l with flat lid(s), for wide trunnion or BG-
and/or wide comb lifting devices  Dimensions and design;
 Part 5: Performance requirements and test methods;
 Part 6: Safety and health requirements.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the following
countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech
Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece,

1 Scope
This European Standard specifies dimensions and design requirements of mobile waste and recycling
containers with 2 wheels, with capacity up to 400 l to be used by comb lifting devices.
2 Normative references
The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are
indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references,
the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.
EN 840-5, Mobile waste and recycling containers — Part 5: Performance requirements and test methods
EN 840-6, Mobile waste and recycling containers — Part 6: Safety and health requirements
EN 1501-5, Refuse collection vehicles — General requirements and safety requirements — Part 5: Lifting
devices for refuse collection vehicles
EN ISO 11469, Plastics — Generic identification and marking of plastics products (ISO 11469)
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
NOTE Terms for components of mobile waste and recycling containers and lifting devices in three languages are
given in Annex A.
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

Note 1 to entry: See Table 1.
3.5
nominal volume
capacity
volume stated by the manufacturer
Note 1 to entry: See Table 1 without tolerances.

3.6
nominal load
load mass as given in Clause 6
3.7
total permissible mass
mass of the container plus the nominal load
3.8
functional and safety dimensions
essential dimensions which ensure the functionality and interchangeability of the container with the compatible
lifting device and which are necessary for the operator's safety and health
4 Volumes
This standard identifies the two classes of containers:
 Class I - small size (nominal volume up to 200 l);
 Class II - large size (nominal volume between 200 l and 400 l).
Within the two above-mentioned classes of containers the volumes shown in Table 1 are identified.
Table 1 — Volumes
 Volume in l
390 ± 20
+13 +18 +8 +6 +40 +25 +15 +15 +25 +40

−5 −5 −5 −5 −5
−6 −12 −10 −10 −25

For methods of measuring capacity, see EN 840-5.
The volumes shown in Table 1 correspond to mobile waste and recycling container's capacities at present
used in Europe. Since there are some overlapping capacities due to the tolerances, client and manufacturer
shall decide while ordering the capacity chosen.
Nominal volumes different from those referenced in Table 1 can be used by agreement between user and
manufacturer. The tolerance of the volumes shall be ± 10 % maximum measured according to EN 840-5.
5 Dimensions and design
5.1 The design of the containers need not correspond to the drawings given in Figure 1. The functional
dimensions given in Tables 2 and 3 shall be respected.
5.2 The container shall be constructed so that when 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. The frontal receiver shall correspond to one of the options given in
Figure 2 (Form A or B).
5.3 The lid(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 2 fixing points and have at least one means of
