appropriately designed container fitted with wheels intended to temporarily store waste
3.2
lifting device
structure which picks-up, tilts and empties containers
3.3
comb lifting device
lifting device in which the picking-up system consists of a row of teeth and a locking system to retain
the container during emptying
3.4
trunnion lifting device
lifting device in which the picking-up system consists of a pair of arms with automatic locking
mechanism to fit the trunnion to retain the container during emptying

Under preparation. Stage at the time of publication: FprEN 1501-5.
3.5
volume
total space inside the container when the lid is closed
Note 1 to entry: See Table 1.
3.6
nominal volume
capacity
volume stated by the manufacturer
Note 1 to entry: See Table 1 without tolerances.
Note 2 to entry: The English term “capacity” and the French term “capacité” are translated in the German
version by the term “Nennvolumen”.
3.7
nominal mass
mass, which is calculated as given in Clause 6
3.8
total permissible mass
mass of the container plus the nominal mass
3.9
functional and safety dimension
essential dimensions which ensure the functionality and interchangeability of the container with the
compatible lifting device and which are necessary for the operator's safety and health
4 Volumes
This part of EN 840 identifies the two classes of containers:
— Class I - small size (nominal volume up to 1 000 l);
— Class II - large size (nominal volume between 1 000 l and 1 300 l).
Within the two above-mentioned classes of containers the following volumes are identified: 500 l, 660 l,
770 l, 1 000 l, 1 100 l and 1 200 l. Nominal volumes different from those referenced can be used by
agreement between user and manufacturer. The tolerance of the volumes shall be ± 5 % maximum
measured according to EN 840-5.
5 Dimensions and design
5.1 The design of the containers need not correspond to the drawings given in Figure 1. The
functional dimensions given in Table 1 shall be respected. Recommendations for manufacturers of
lifting devices are given in EN 1501-5.
5.2 The container shall be constructed so that when it is unloaded or loaded with a nominal load
(see Clause 6), it fits on an approved compatible lifting device. It shall be automatically locked safely
into the lifting device during the lifting operation. If the container is equipped with a comb receiver, it
shall correspond to Figure 2 (Form A).
5.3 The lid(s) shall cover the opening of the container completely. It/they shall be opened easily by
itself/themselves during the emptying cycle. It/They shall be made with at least two fixing points and

5.4 Handles fitted in front of the trunnion shall have a measurement over the handles of 10 mm less
than the actual measurement in Table 1, dimension N°33. The handles and their location shall also be
designed so that they do not harm the operator.
5.5 If the container has ribs in the frontal receiver they shall meet the requirements of Figures 2 and
4.
5.6 The container shall have four swivel castors. Each swivel castor shall be capable of withstanding
1/3 of the total permissible mass. Each castor shall meet the requirements of EN 840-5. The container

5.8 The container should have a drain plug.
5.9 When direction locks are fitted they shall be fixed on at least two castors.
5.10 The container should be fitted with two braked wheels to requirements of EN 840-5. In case of
centralized braking and locking system the brake pedal and the lock shall be fixed on a lateral side of
the container. The centralized locking shall be able to be unlocked with a standard triangular key as
shown in Figure 6. The effectiveness of the centralized braking system shall conform to EN 840-5.
6 Nominal mass
The container shall be constructed strongly enough to carry a mass of 0,4 kg/dm x nominal volume.
Containers with a nominal volume of more than 1 100 l shall be constructed strongly enough to carry a
load of 440 kg.
7 Safety and health requirements
The container shall meet the safety and health requirements according to EN 840-6.
8 Testing
The container shall fulfil the performance requirements and the tests of EN 840-5.
9 Marking
9.1 Each container complying with the requirements of this part of EN 840 shall be durably and
readably marked on the body in a visible part with:
— number of this document (EN 840-2);
— nominal volume;
— manufacturer’s name or trademark;
— total permissible mass, in kilograms;
— year and month of manufacturing.
9.2 Additional marking for quality, recycling, etc. is allowed. Plastic parts of containers, lids and
wheels shall be marked in accordance with EN ISO 11469. The use of recycled materials is allowed,
presuming that all requirements of this standard are complied with.
10 Designation
The container complying with the requirements of this document shall be designated as follows:
