EN 12642:2006 (E) 4 Introduction The aim of this revision is to introduce the definition of: Reinforced vehicle body structures able to take up a part of the forces to secure the cargo, an additional securing of cargo using lashing materials can be necessary and has to be determined by the consignor, the operator or the driver. SIST EN 12642:2007



EN 12642:2006 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard applies to body structures on commercial vehicles and on trailers with a maximum total weight of more than 3 500 kg. This European Standard sets out basic minimum requirements for standard vehicle bodies (side walls, front and rear walls) and for reinforced vehicle bodies and specifies appropriate tests. This European Standard does not apply to swap bodies, nor to box type vans, i.e. vehicles where the driver cabin and the cargo space form one unit. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN 12640, Securing of cargo on road vehicles — Lashing points on commercial vehicles for goods transportation — Minimum requirements and testing EN 12641-2, Swap bodies and commercial vehicles — Tarpaulins — Part 2: Minimum requirements for curtainsiders ISO 15037-2, Road vehicles — Vehicle dynamics test methods — Part 2: General conditions for heavy vehicles and buses 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 standard vehicle body vehicle body complying with the minimum requirements of 5.2 (performance code L according to
Table 1) which, depending on cargo weight and friction, requires additional securing of cargo using lashing equipment 3.2 reinforced vehicle body vehicle body, having a reinforced structure, and complying with the minimum requirements of 5.3 (performance code XL according to Table 1) 4 General requirements Verification of conformity to this standard shall be provided either by static testing or by dynamic driving tests or by calculation. Where the verification is carried out by testing and where body structures are produced in series (structures of the same design), type testing on one lorry or trailer, for which the structure has been designed is sufficient. Where body structures are produced individually a calculation or test of the complete structure is required. A calculation or test for the complete system consisting of front, rear and side walls, roof and floor is necessary for the entire structure even if individual components have been taken from sample structures SIST EN 12642:2007



EN 12642:2006 (E) 6 which have, before, been calculated or tested with positive results. However, it is admissible to replace individual components which have successfully been tested within a complete system with others that have yielded the same results in testing. Where a body structure has been tested or calculated successfully as a modular system set, calculation or testing shall be carried out to verify that the connection between the body structure and the floor complies with the requirements of this standard. 5 Testing 5.1 General Table 1 gives an overview of the static test conditions, the details of which are specified in 5.2 and 5.3. Table 1 — Static test conditions Component Standard structure code L Reinforced structure code XL Requirement 0,4P and max. limit 0,5P without max. limit Front wall Section 5.2.2 5.3.2 Requirement 0,25P and max. limit 0,3P without max. limit Rear wall Section 5.2.3 5.3.3 Requirement up to 0,3P 0,4P a Side walls Section 5.2.4 5.3.4 a Except for double-decker.
5.2 Standard vehicle bodies (code L) 5.2.1 Test conditions 5.2.1.1 General The following outlines the test conditions for standard vehicle body structures. These test conditions are designated by performance code “L”. Vehicle body structures shall be tested in the condition in which they are designed to be used. Moreover, if they are equipped with removable components, these components shall be in position. In the following test requirements specified, the following letters shall have the following meanings:  P the weight force (in daN) of the vehicle to be tested at the authorised payload;  F the force of pressure (in MPa). In every test the test load shall be applied for at least 5 min. SIST EN 12642:2007



EN 12642:2006 (E) 7 5.2.1.2 Approval criteria After finishing the tests applicable under Clause 5, the body structure shall show neither permanent deformation nor other changes which would impair its intended use; i.e. the body structure continues to work properly. The static testing of standard structures shall be conducted using the test rigs specified in 5.2.2 to 5.2.4 or as air bag tests. 5.2.2 Strength of front wall The front end wall is tested with a test force of 0,4 P, the maximum however being 5 000 daN. The inner face of the front end wall to be tested shall be subjected to a test force uniformly distributed over the entire surface. 5.2.3 Strength of rear and end wall The rear end wall is tested with a test force of 0,25 P, the maximum however being 3 100 daN. The inner face of the rear end wall to be tested shall be subjected to a test force uniformly distributed over the entire surface. 5.2.4 Strength of side walls 5.2.4.1 Box type bodies Each side wall is tested with a test load of 0,3 P. The inner surface of each side wall to be tested shall be subjected to the test force uniformly distributed over the entire surface. The rear walls may be closed. In the case of symmetrical construction, one side wall only needs to be tested. 5.2.4.2 Open sided types with side-boards and cover/stake body 5.2.4.2.1 General The total test force to be applied to each side wall shall be 0,3 P. In the case of symmetrical side walls, one side wall only needs to be tested. The test can be carried out either as specified under 5.2.4.2.2 or under 5.2.4.2.3. 5.2.4.2.2 Testing with test rig The centre of the load of 0,3 P to be applied shall be so arranged that 0,24 P is applied to the lower rigid part of the side wall and simultaneously 0,06 P is applied to the rest of the side wall. In so doing the test, the rig shall not obtain support from the body stake(s). The test shall be carried out with the maximum height of rigid side board provided. The reaction forces shall be applied to the base structure. Typical examples of test rigs are shown in Figures 1 to 6.

EN 12642:2006 (E) 10 5.2.4.2.3 Lateral side-up test The body shall be turned to rest on one longitudinal side wall so that it is supported at the bottom side rail and the corner posts and all other parts are free to deflect. The lath work shall be covered by panels of 5 mm thickness of plywood or of an equivalent material to achieve a uniform distribution of the load. A test load is uniformly distributed over the side wall using distributed individual weights such that 0,24 P is applied to the rigid part of the wall and 0,06 P to the lath work. 5.2.4.3 Curtainsiders Lashing points for securing of cargo are mandatory for vehicles with curtainsiders. Such fittings shall fulfil the requirements of EN 12640. The tarpaulin need not to be in compliance with EN 12641-2, but provides weather protection only and is not designed to take forces for securing of the cargo. 5.2.4.4 Drop side body with side and tail boards without cover Each side wall shall be subjected to a loading of 0,3 P. The internal surface of each side wall shall be subjected to the test load uniformly distributed in such a way that the upper edge of the load coincides with the upper edge of the side wall. The test shall be carried out with the maximum side wall height provided.
If it is usual in operation for chains or similar equipment to be used to connect side walls to each other such equipment may be used during the test. SIST EN 12642:2007

5.3 Reinforced vehicle bodies (code XL) 5.3.1 Test conditions 5.3.1.1 General The following outlines the test conditions for reinforced vehicle body structures. These test conditions are designated by performance code “XL”.
The test requirements specified apply to the following types of body structures:  box type;  drop side body with side and tail boards without cover;  drop side body with side and tail boards with tarpaulin cover;  curtainsiders. By analogy these test conditions also apply to all other types of body structures. Vehicle body structures shall be tested in the condition in which they are intended to be used. Moreover, if they are equipped with removable components, these components shall be in operational position during the test. For each test the test force shall be applied for at least 5 min. In the testing requirements specified, the following letters shall have the following meaning:  P the weight force (in daN) of the vehicle to be tested at the authorised payload;  F force of pressure (in MPa). 5.3.1.2 Approval criteria After finishing the tests applicable under Clause 5, the body structure shall show neither permanent deformation nor other changes which would impair its intended use. Compliance with the following criteria is required:  elastic deformation occurring during the test shall not exceed 300 mm;  at a test force of 85 % of the 100 % to be used for testing there shall be no permanent deformation;  at 100 % of the test force permanent deformation may at maximum be of 20 mm, however, aptitude for the intended function shall not be impaired. The static testing should be carried out as so called air bag testing, other methods being permitted if they have been demonstrated to be equivalent. For details concerning the test arrangement and the procedure for the airbag test confirm Annex A. The aptitude of vehicle body structures to absorb cargo securing forces can also be demonstrated by driving tests. For details on the procedure and minimum requirements for dynamic driving test see Annex B. The aptitude for special cargo should generally be proved by driving tests. SIST EN 12642:2007
