4 Tests
4.1 General
Before and after the tests a visual inspection of the container shall be done for the purpose of:
a) checking that the container is not damaged and has no visual defect;
b) checking that the manufacturing characteristics of the container to be tested are those specified in the
standards applying 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 Visual 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, wheels 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 container 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 calculation 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 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.
4.2.3 Deflection for comb lifting system
The frontal receiver shall have a horizontal deflection 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 % 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 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 carried out at the following temperatures:
T = (23 ± 5) °C
T = (− 18 ) °C.
−2
The minimum duration of conditioning before testing at a test temperature T shall be 12 h. If the test shall be
carried out outside the room conditioned at T it shall be carried out within 5 min after taking the test pieces
from the conditioned 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 indicated 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/dm³.
The test load shall be 0,4 kg/dm³ multiplied by nominal volume, but not more than 440 kg.
4.6 Other test conditions
Any other test conditions shall be defined within the tests involved.
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 sensitive 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 so 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 vertical pipe with a slot or with holes in order to allow the air to
escape during the drop.
The device shall be according
