Introduction
This document is a type-C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100:2010.
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, organisations 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.
This document is intended for careful consideration by designers, manufacturers, suppliers and users of
side loaded RCVs.
This document should be read in conjunction with EN 1501-5:2021 developed for lifting devices which
are compatible with the refuse collection vehicle specified in this standard.
While producing this document it was assumed that:
— for RCV the requirements of road traffic regulations apply. Where road traffic regulations are in
conflict with the provisions of this document, the road regulations have priority;
— due to the European regulations on the approval of vehicles for use on public roads, the
requirements of UN/ECE R10:2019 for an RCV with regard to EMC applies. Therefore, EMC is not
further considered in this document;
— the guidelines issued by the chassis manufacturer have been taken into account;
— chassis related safety items are handled by the chassis manufacturer according to their state of the
art and in compliance with the public road regulations;
— the guidelines of the lifting device manufacturer have been taken into account;
— that based on measurements on different types of RCVs hand-arm vibrations are in general lower
than 2,5 m/s ;
— that based on measurements on different types of RCVs whole-body vibrations are lower than
0,5 m/s ;
— components without specific requirements are designed in accordance with the usual engineering
practice and calculation codes, including all failure modes, of sound mechanical and electrical
construction and made of materials with adequate strength and of suitable quality;
— components are kept in good repair and working order, so that the required characteristics remain
despite wear and tear;
— harmful materials, such as asbestos, are not used as part of the side loaded RCV;
— only persons who have been appropriately trained will operate the side loaded RCV.
1 Scope
This document applies to side loaded refuse collection vehicle (RCV), as defined in 3.2.
This document deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to the side
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 document is applicable to the design and construction of the side loaded RCV so as to ensure that it
is fit for its intended function and can be operated, cleaned (including unblocking), adjusted and
maintained during its entire lifetime. It is not applicable to the end of life of the side loaded RCV.
This document describes and defines the safety requirements of side loaded RCV excluding the interface
with the lifting device(s) and excluding the lifting device itself and excluding loader cranes, which could
be mounted on the RCV.
Safety requirements for the lifting device(s) including the loader cranes and the interface to the RCV are
defined in EN 1501-5:2021.
Safety requirements for loader cranes are defined in EN 12999:2020. Additional specific requirements
to loader cranes installed on RCVs are defined in EN 1501-5:2021.
This document also applies to compactors, operated on a truck for collecting purposes.
This document is not applicable to:
— operation in severe conditions, e.g. extreme environmental conditions such as:
— below −20 °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 refuses, acids and
bases, radioactive materials, contaminated refuse, especially fragile loads, explosives);
— operation on ships.
This document is not applicable to machinery which is manufactured before the date of publication of
this document by CEN.

refuse collection vehicle
RCV
vehicle used for the collection and transportation of refuse (e. g. household refuse, bulky refuse,
recyclable materials) based on loading via refuse containers or by hand
Note 1 to entry: Most of the time it consists of a chassis or rigid chassis onto which a bodywork is mounted.
Sometimes it can also be a truck and trailer combination.

Note 1 to entry: In side loaded RCVs refuse is transferred manually or mechanically from the side over the rave
rail into a hopper. A compaction mechanism, if fitted, then transfers and compacts the refuse from the hopper into
a fixed or interchangeable body of the side loaded RCV. To discharge, either the body is tilted, rotated or an
ejection device is used.

RCV and where other potential operator(s) can sit
[SOURCE: EN 1501-1:2021, 3.3]
3.4
bodywork
assembly of all components fitted on the chassis of the RCV including the body itself
Note 1 to entry: The bodywork can be fixed or interchangeable. The bodywork also includes either a
compaction mechanism, a lifting device or (a) footboard(s) or any combination of the three.
[SOURCE: EN 1501-1:2021, 3.4]
3.5
body
part of the bodywork in which the collected refuse is transported
Note 1 to entry: It may be fixed or interchangeable or rotate as part of the compaction mechanism.
Note 2 to entry: To discharge the collected refuse, the body is either tilted or rotated or an ejection system is
used.
Note 3 to entry: See 1 in Figure A.1.
[SOURCE: EN 1501-1:2021, 3.5]
3.6
discharge door
part of the bodywork connected to the body without compaction mechanism
Note 1 to entry: It is designed to be opened to discharge the collected refuse or recyclable materials.

This clause contains all the significant hazards, risk areas and hazardous situations and events as far as
they are dealt with in this document, identified by risk assessment performed according to
EN ISO 12100:2010 as significant for this type of machinery and which require action to eliminate or
reduce the risk.
The verification methods to be used to demonstrate conformity include:
— V visual inspection verifies the required features of the components;
— T test/check verifies that the features provided perform their function in such a way that the
3)
requirements are met;
— M measurement verifies that requirements are met to the specified limits;
— D drawings and/or calculations verify that the design characteristics of the components provided
