Refuse collection vehicles - General requirements and safety requirements - Part 1: Rear loaded refuse collection vehicles

This European Standard applies to rear loaded refuse collection vehicles (RCV), as defined in 3.2. This European Standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to the rear loaded RCV, when it is used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer, throughout its foreseeable lifetime, as defined in Clause 4.This European Standard is applicable to the design and construction of the rear loaded RCV so as to ensure that it is fit for its function and can be operated adjusted and maintained during its entire lifetime. It is not applicable to the end of life of the rear loaded RCV.This part 1 describes and defines the safety requirements of rear loaded RCV excluding the interface tailgate/discharge door with the lifting device(s) and the lifting device(s) as illustrated in Figure A.1.Safety requirements for the lifting device(s) and the interface with the tailgate/discharge door are defined in prEN 1501-5.This European Standard is not applicable to:- operation in severe conditions e.g. extreme environmental conditions such as:- below - 25 °C and above + 40 °C temperatures;- tropical environment;- wind velocity in excess of 75 km/h;- contaminating environment;- corrosive environment;- operation in potentially explosive atmospheres;- handling of loads the nature of which could lead to dangerous situations (e.g. hot wastes, acids and bases, radioactive materials, contaminated waste, especially fragile loads, explosives);- operation on ships.This European Standard is not applicable to machinery which is manufactured before the date of publication of this document by CEN.

Overview - EN 1501-1:2011/FprA1 (rear loaded RCV safety)

EN 1501-1:2011/FprA1 is a CEN European Standard that defines general and safety requirements for rear loaded refuse collection vehicles (RCV). It addresses all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to rear loaded RCVs when used as intended and under reasonably foreseeable misuse throughout their foreseeable lifetime. The standard focusses on design, construction, operation, adjustment and maintenance to ensure the vehicle is fit for purpose. It does not cover end‑of‑life, the lifting device(s) and their interface with the tailgate/discharge door (see prEN 1501‑5), nor operation in specified severe or hazardous environments (extreme temperatures, explosive atmospheres, ships, corrosive environments, hot or radioactive wastes, etc.).

Key topics and technical requirements

• Scope and hazard coverage: safety throughout the vehicle’s foreseeable lifetime and foreseeable misuse.
• Exclusions: lifting device/tailgate interface, extreme environmental/operational conditions, pre‑publication machinery.
• Footboards and riding provisions:
  • Dimensional requirements for footboards (reference to Figure B.4‑1 variants).
  • Where usable width per footboard is between 350 mm and 450 mm, alternative dimensions may apply.
  • Speed limits when footboards are occupied: typically 30 km/h (standard footboards) and 25 km/h (reduced‑width footboards). Notes for situations where these limits cannot be maintained (e.g. downhill).
  • Design rules ensuring only fully deployed footboards can be used for riding.
• Protective devices and safety distances:
  • Minimum distance calculations for protective devices referenced to EN ISO 13855:2010 (calculation method for R1/R2).
• Controls and interlocks:
  • Guide flap control/interlock design to comply also with EN 1088.
• Visual and override indications:
  • Requirements for optical indications (pictogram/text/light) if footboards are occupied and for override activation (red flashing indication).
• Recommendations:
  • Cab‑mounted axle load indicator device recommended for driver awareness.

Applications - who uses this standard

• Manufacturers and designers of rear loaded refuse collection vehicles (RCV) for compliant design and construction.
• Fleet owners, procurement teams and local authorities specifying safe RCVs.
• Vehicle safety engineers, conformity assessors and testing laboratories performing safety validation.
• Maintenance teams and safety officers implementing operational and preventive controls.

Related standards

• prEN 1501‑5 - safety requirements for lifting device(s) and tailgate/discharge door interface.
• EN ISO 13855:2010 - positioning of protective devices (minimum distance calculation).
• EN 1088 - safety of interlocking devices associated with guards.
• EN ISO 4414 - pneumatic fluid power safety requirements (normative reference title updated).
