4 General requirements
4.1 General requirements for Type A containers
4.1.1 Design
The container shall be capable of being immobilised by device or by design (see 6.1.1 and 6.2.2).
The container shall not include any element which will result in collected materials being retained thereby
compromising complete emptying.
The container shall be designed in order to prevent noise emissions which shall be measured according to the test
in 6.3.3 (for glass only).
The filling apertures for the deposit of glass shall be designed in such a way as to avoid fragments or any other
debris coming out of the container.
4.1.2 Loading height
Loading height shall be in the range between 1,10 m and 1,70 m.
4.1.3 External surfaces / Edges
Sharp edges shall be avoided in all cases. Rounded edges with a radius more than 1,4 mm are not considered as
sharp edges.
4.2 General requirements for Type B containers
Type B container shall comply with the relevant parts of EN 840, Parts 1 to 6 and EN 12574 (stationary containers)
taking into account the waste densities as defined in 5.2 for the calculation of test loads.
The container shall be designed in order to prevent noise emissions which shall be measured according to the test
in 6.3.3 (for glass only).
5 Test conditions
5.1 General
All tests shall be carried out on new containers.
5.2 Temperature requirements
The tests shall be carried out at the following temperatures:
T = (23 ± 5) °C
1
T = (-18 + 0/-2) °C.
2
The minimum duration of conditioning before testing shall be 12 hours. If the test is carried out outside the
conditioned room and the duration of the test is more than 5 min, then for each 5 minute period of testing the
container shall be reconditioned for at least 15 min before continuing the test.
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.

EN 13071:2002 (E)
5.3 Waste densities
For the calculation of test loads (see 6.2.1 and 6.3.2), the density values will be taken between the four following
values:
3
= 0,1 in Kg/dm (e.g. for plastics, plastic bottles, flasks);
3
= 0,3 in Kg/dm (e.g. for glass, paper, tins, metals);
3
= 0,4 in Kg/dm (e.g. for wastes from vegetables/garden);
3
= 0,8 in Kg/dm (e.g. for wet wastes from kitchen).
6 Test procedures for Type A containers
6.1 Test procedures on empty containers
6.1.1 Stability test procedures
Aim: Check the static stability of the empty container on a 10° slope and check the efficiency of the immobilisation
device.
Apparatus:
a slope surface of sufficient dimension to accommodate the whole base of the container. So that the container
does not slide before tipping over, the surface shall be covered with a neoprene plaque of hardness
1)
60 IRHD ± 5 IRHD and density 1,35 ± 0,05;
a lifting mechanism.
Temperature: T
1
Method: The container is placed on its base on the sloping surface, facing the steepest direction (if in doubt, carry
out the test in several positions), lift the side opposite the pivoting point in order to obtain the predetermined angle.
This action should be realised at an angular speed less than 1 °/s.
Acceptance criteria: The container shall not tip over before an angle of 10° is obtained.
6.1.2 Resistance to interior impacts (only for containers for glass)
Aim: To check that the container is not damaged when glass objects are thrown inside, thus making it unusable for
its designated function or dangerous to the public.
Apparatus (see Figure 1):
steel balls of mass 2 ± 0,1 kg (diameter 80 mm max.);
a tube for guiding the balls into the inside of the container. The inner diameter of the tube measures between
85 mm and 90 mm and allows a 500 mm guidance length for the ball.
Temperature:

International Rubber Hardness Degree (ISO 48).

Method (see Figures 1 and 2):
place the end of the tube successively in each filling aperture only 100 mm ± 5 mm into the inside of the
container. The tube rests by means of its own weight on the lowest point of the filling aperture;
