General Information
EN 12674-1:1999 - Roll containers - Part 1: Terminology
Overview
EN 12674-1:1999 (CEN) is the European vocabulary standard that defines terminology used in the field of roll containers. It establishes agreed names and terms for the main styles of roll container and for various special forms derived from those styles. The standard also covers terminology for related equipment such as dollys and other handling accessories. Classification references included in the document: ICS 55.180.10 and 01.040.55 (packaging and distribution vocabularies).
Key topics
This part is a terminology (vocabulary) standard and focuses on clear, consistent language rather than prescriptive dimensions or performance tests. Major technical topics typically covered include:
- Standardized terms for roll container components and features (frames, panels, wheels, locking devices)
- Classification of main roll container styles and recognized special forms derived from those styles
- Terms for related equipment, including dollys and ancillary handling devices
- Multilingual equivalence, with terms presented in the working languages used by CEN to ensure consistency across translations and national adoptions
Note: EN 12674-1:1999 sets the vocabulary to be used in design, technical specifications, procurement documents, and testing standards - it does not itself specify performance or test methods.
Applications
EN 12674-1 is practical for anyone who needs unambiguous terminology in the supply chain and logistics sectors:
- Manufacturers and designers of roll containers and trolleys who must use consistent naming in drawings and specifications
- Logistics and warehouse managers preparing procurement and inspection documents
- Standards writers and test laboratories referencing precise terms in related standards and test protocols
- Procurement professionals and specifiers ensuring contract clarity when ordering roll containers or accessories
- Translators and technical writers producing multilingual documents for packaging and distribution
Using this vocabulary reduces misunderstandings, streamlines product documentation, and supports interoperability between suppliers across Europe.
