4 Tests
4.1 General
Before and after the tests a visual inspection of the container has to be done for the purpose of:
a) checking that the container is not damaged and has no visual defect;
b) checking that the manufacturing characteristics of the container to be tested are those specified in
EN 12574-1;
c) comparing the condition of the container before and after the sequence of tests.
After completing the tests some deformation of the container is permissible, however, it shall remain entirely
functional.
4.2 Control before the tests
4.2.1 Visual aspects
No damage, no cracks, bubbles, large flashes or sharp edges shall be present. No surface defects (unsmooth
areas; trails in colour) perceivable from a distance of 1 metre by a naked eye shall be visible.
4.2.2 Correspondence with EN 12574-1
4.2.2.1 Components
Body, lid, wheels and other fittings shall be tested in line with the relevant container standard.
4.2.2.2 Sizes and dimensions
Dimensions of the containers and components shall correspond to EN 12574-1.
4.2.2.3 Capacities
Capacities of the container and its parts shall correspond to EN 12574-1.
a) for the body, by tank method (see 4.2.2.4), up to 1 700 l, and by calculation for containers over 1 700 l;
b) for the lid, if possible by tank method (see 4.2.2.4), if not by calculation;
c) for the container, add the results obtained in a) and b) minus any duplicated capacities.
4.2.2.4 Tank method
The test equipment shall consist of a tank with sufficient capacity to receive the container to be tested.
The test procedure is as follows:
a) place the empty container in a tank, the container shall not be inclined;
b) simultaneously fill the tank and the container with water at a temperature of (15 ± 5) °C;
c) measure the quantity of water inside the container.
The result of measurement shall be ± 1 % of the stated capacity of the container.
4.2.3 Masses limit deviations
The limit deviations on the container mass claimed are as follows: for plastic containers ± 5 % and for metal
containers ± 10 %.
4.2.4 Colour
The colour shall be defined and agreed upon between customer and supplier.
4.2.5 Marking
The marking of the container shall correspond to EN 12574-1.
4.3 Control after the tests
In spite of variations in deflection and sizes, it shall be possible to lift and tilt the container loaded according to
4.5 with nominal load safely on a designated lifting device and to move the container on its wheels if any.
4.4 Conditions of the tests
The tests shall be carried out at the following temperatures:
T = (23 ± 5) °C
T = (−18 ) °C.
−2
The minimum duration of conditioning before testing shall be 12 h. If the test is carried out outside the
conditioned room and if the duration of the test is more than 5 min, then for each 5 min 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.
4.5 Test load
For the calculation of test loads either of the two following density values shall be taken:
0,25 kg/dm³ for light waste (e.g. for plastics, plastic bottles, flasks)
0,40 kg/dm³ for heavy waste (e.g. for glass, paper, organic waste, cardboard)
The test load shall be the value of density as above multiplied by nominal volume and shall be HDPE granules in
25 kg bags having a specific mass of 0,5 kg/dm³ but no more than 1 750 kg.
4.6 Tests on the containers
4.6.1 General
All tests shall be carried out on new containers, as per the sequence of tests in 4.10.4.
4.6.2 Impact test by ball drop
The ball drop test is not compulsory for steel containers.
The ability of the sensitive points such as welds and corners of the container to resist under impacts at
temperature T shall be tested.
The stationary containers shall stand on their wheels (if they are fitted) or on their supports.
Ball drop test shall be carried out using a 5 kg steel cylinder, diameter 65 mm, with hemispheric end radius of
32,5 mm. The steel cylinder is guided in a vertical pipe with a slot or with holes in order to allow the air to escape
during the drop.
The following areas of containers shall be tested by impact test according to the conditions shown below:
a) on the inside of the bottom:
at least 3 points beginning at the injection point(s) (less than 20 mm from sprue point) and other
potentially weak points (i.e. drain holes for instance);
with a drop height of 1,5 m;
with a frequency of 3 times per measuring point;
b) at protrusions on the body (handle, top rim etc.), junctions between lid and body, hinges at the lid and
protruding areas on the lid:
with a drop height of 0,8 m and
with a frequency of 2 impacts per measuring point.
After tests, no permanent deformations or ruptures capable of hampering designed use are allowed.
The device shall be according to Figure A.1.
A test of segments is allowed with segments of approximately a quarter of a square meter.
At least the following critical area shall be sawed from the container and shall be tested:
positioning wheel suspensions (see area 1 in Figure 1): this area shall be cut out from the bottom at
a height of approximately 500 mm;
frontal receiver (see area 2 in Figure 1): both corner parts shall be tested. The area should be
300 mm × 300 mm large;
hinge area (see area 3 in Figure 1): both corner parts shall be tested. The area should be
300 mm × 300 mm large;
lid (see area 4 in Figure 1): an area from the hinges to the injection points shall be tested.
Figure 1 — Segments to be tested
4.6.3 Impact on an inclined plane
The stationary containers shall be tested with impact on each wall of the body and on each corner to check the
resistance to straining and breaking of sensitive ar
