European foreword
This document (EN 1501-4:2023) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 183 “Waste
management”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an
identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by November 2023, and conflicting national standards shall
be withdrawn at the latest by November 2023.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document supersedes EN 1501-4:2007.
EN 1501 consists of the following parts under the general title Refuse collection vehicles — General
requirements and safety requirements:
— Part 1: Rear loaded refuse collection vehicles;
— Part 2: Side loaded refuse collection vehicles;
— Part 3: Front loaded refuse collection vehicles;
— Part 4: Noise test code for refuse collection vehicles (this part);
— Part 5: Lifting devices for refuse collection vehicles.
This document provides a means for the determination and declaration of noise emission by refuse
collection vehicles (RCVs) falling within the scope of the standards of the EN 1501 series. The
determination of noise emission values is a prerequisite for a manufacturer to assess the noise reduction
obtained at the design stage.
In comparison with the previous edition, the following technical modifications have been made:
— This revision of the original standard EN 1501-4:2007 specifies a new test procedure for determining
the sound power level. The vehicle is not tested in the loaded condition as before, as the test is carried
out without refuse containers and refuse material. Since many different refuse containers are used
in the EU and RCVs are loaded with many different refuse materials, the experts of CEN/TC183/WG2
have agreed that in a standardized noise measurement for RCVs, refuse containers and refuse
material cannot be taken into account. In order to give the user a clear picture of the noise behaviour
of RCVs, and since the EN 1501 series refers purely to RCVs, this standard only deals with the noise
behaviour of RCVs itself. The noise behaviour of waste collection containers can mainly be influenced
by design and construction under the responsibility of the container manufacturer.
With this new method, the sound power level is not only measured during the loading process when
the vehicle is stationary, as before, but also while the RCV approaches the loading point and leaves it
after loading. This is intended to reflect future noise reductions through the use of alternative drive
systems.

Introduction
This European Standard provides a procedure for the measurement and calculation of sound power
emitted by RCVs thus enabling manufacturers and importers to mark and certify rear loaded, side loaded
and front loaded RCVs.
The RCV work cycle for the measurement of the emission sound pressure levels at the working stations
(L ) differs from the work cycle of the newly specified measurement of sound power level (L ), since
PA WA
the L is measured while the refuse collection vehicle (RCV) approaches the loading point and leaves it
WA
after loading, whereby the L is only measured stationary at the loading point. However, experience has
PA
shown that the noise emission due to the travelling RCV have no significant effects to the emission sound
pressure levels at the working stations.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered
are indicated in the scope of this document.
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, organizations 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.

Machinery for the measurement of the sound pressure levels at the working station.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered
are indicated in the scope of this document.
This document is a type-C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100.
This document is of relevance, in particular, for the following stakeholder groups representing the market
players with regard to machinery safety:

1 Scope
This document provides all of the information required in order to efficiently perform, and in
standardized conditions, the determination, the declaration and the verification of noise emission values
of refuse collection vehicles.
The use of this annex ensures the reproducibility of the determination of noise emission values within
the limits established for the accuracy grade of the basic standard used to determine noise emission
values. The methods used to determine these noise emission values, corresponding to this normative
annex, are grade 2 accuracy measurement methods according to EN ISO 11201:2010, 5.2.2.2.
This document deals with the noise measurement conditions for the types of RCVs defined and described
in the standards of the EN 1501 series
This document applies to machines which are manufactured after the date of approval of this document
by CEN.

3.1
continuous compaction
compacting devices which continuously and without reversing follow the direction of movement of
individual components after commissioning and which have no defined starting position
3.2
discontinuous compaction
components of the compression device, which always traverse the same route curve in the operation in
compaction cycles, return to their defined starting position after one compaction cycle
