European foreword

This document (prEN 1501-4:2022) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 183 “Waste

management”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 1501-4:2007.

EN 1501 consists of the following parts under the general title Refuse collection vehicles — General

requirements and safety requirements:
— Part 1: Rear loaded refuse collection vehicles
— Part 2: Side loaded refuse collection vehicles;
— Part 3: Front loaded refuse collection vehicles;
— Part 4: Noise test code for refuse collection vehicles (this part);
— Part 5: Lifting devices for refuse collection vehicles.

Its purpose is to provide a means for the determination and declaration of noise emission by RCVs falling

within the scope of the standards of the EN 1501 series. The determination of noise emission values is a

prerequisite for a manufacturer to assess the noise reduction obtained at the design stage.

In comparison with the previous edition, the following technical modifications have been made:

— This revision of the original standard EN 1501-4 from 2007 describes a new test procedure for

determining the sound power level. The vehicle is not tested in loading mode as before, but also when

approaching and leaving the charging point. This is intended to take into account future noise

reductions through the implementation of alternative drive systems.

This document has been prepared under a Standardization Request given to CEN by the European

Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU

Directive(s) / Regulation(s).

For relationship with EU Directive(s) / Regulation(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part

of this document.

Introduction

EU Directive 2000/14/EC “Noise Emission in the Environment by Equipment for Use Outdoor” requires

to mark and certify Refuse Collection Vehicles (RCVs) intended to be placed on the EU market with a

guaranteed sound power level.

This European Standard provides a procedure for the measurement and calculation of sound power

emitted by RCVs thus enabling manufacturers and importers to mark and certify rear loaded, side loaded

and front loaded RCVs in compliance with the above mentioned EU Directive.

This standard also covers the noise information requirements of EU Directive 2006/42/EC relating to

Machinery for the measurement of the sound pressure levels at the working station.

The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered

are indicated in the scope of this document.
This document is a type-C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100.

This document is of relevance, in particular, for the following stakeholder groups representing the market

players with regard to machinery safety:
— machine manufacturers (small, medium and large enterprises);

— health and safety bodies (regulators, accident prevention organizations, market surveillance etc.).

Others can be affected by the level of machinery safety achieved with the means of the document by the

above-mentioned stakeholder groups:
— machine users/employers (small, medium and large enterprises);

— machine users/employees (e.g. trade unions, organizations for people with special needs);

— service providers, e.g. for maintenance (small, medium and large enterprises);
— consumers (in case of machinery intended for use by consumers).

The above-mentioned stakeholder groups have been given the possibility to participate at the drafting

process of this document.

The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events are

covered are indicated in the Scope of this document.

When requirements of this type-C standard are different from those which are stated in type-A or type-B

standards, the requirements of this type-C standard take precedence over the requirements of the other

standards for machines that have been designed and built according to the requirements of this type-C

standard.

1 Scope

This document provides all of the information required in order to efficiently perform, and in

standardized conditions, the determination, the declaration and the verification of noise emission values

of refuse collection vehicles.

The use of this annex ensures the reproducibility of the determination of noise emission values within

the limits established for the accuracy grade of the basic standard used to determine noise emission

values. The methods used to determine these noise emission values, corresponding to this normative

annex, are grade 2 accuracy measurement methods according to EN ISO 11201:2010, 5.2.2.2.

This document deals with the noise measurement conditions for the types of RCVs defined and described

in the standards of the EN 1501 series

This document applies to machines which are manufactured after the date of approval of this document

by CEN.
