3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this European Standard the terms and definitions given in EN 12574-1 apply.
4 Tests
4.1 General
Before and after the tests a visual inspection of the container has to be done for the purpose of:
a) checking that the container is not damaged and has no visual defect;
4
---------------------- Page: 6 ----------------------
SIST EN 12574-2:2004
EN 12574-2:2002 (E)
b) checking that the manufacturing characteristics of the container to be tested are those specified in
EN 12574-1;
c) comparing the condition of the container before and after the sequence of 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 Visual aspects
No damage, no cracks, bubbles, large flashes or sharp edges shall be present. No surface defects (unsmooth areas;
trails in colour) perceivable from a distance of 1 metre by a naked eye shall be visible.
4.2.2 Correspondence with EN 12574-1
4.2.2.1 Components
Body, lid, wheels and other fittings shall be tested in line with the relevant container standard.
4.2.2.2 Sizes and dimensions
Dimensions of the containers and components shall correspond to EN 12574-1.
4.2.2.3 Capacities
Capacities of the container and its parts shall correspond to EN 12574-1.
a) for the body, by tank method (see 4.2.2.4), up to 1 700 l, and by calculation for containers over 1 700 l;
b) for the lid, if possible by tank method (see 4.2.2.4), if not by calculation;
c) for the container, add the results obtained in a) and b) minus any duplicated capacities.
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:
a) place the empty container in a tank, the container shall not be inclined;
b) simultaneously fill the tank and the container with water at a temperature of (15 ± 5) °C;
c) measure the quantity of water inside the container.
The result of measurement shall be ± 1 % of the stated capacity of the container.
4.2.3 Masses limit deviations
The limit deviations on the container mass claimed are as follows: for plastic containers ± 5 % and for metal
containers ± 10 %.
4.2.4 Colour
The colour shall be defined and agreed up
