SIST EN 12674-1:2000 is a Slovenian national adoption of EN 12674-1:1999, issued by SIST and presented in English. It is a terminology standard for roll containers and related equipment such as dollys. The document gives a common vocabulary for the main styles of roll container and for special forms derived from those styles, which helps manufacturers, suppliers, and users describe the same item in the same way.
What does SIST EN 12674-1:2000 specify?
SIST EN 12674-1:2000 specifies the terminology used in the field of roll containers. It also covers related equipment such as dollys, and it names the main styles of roll container together with special forms derived from those styles.
In practice, this means the standard is about consistent naming, not dimensions or performance. That matters when people must specify a product, compare offers, label equipment, or avoid misunderstandings between design, procurement, and warehouse staff.
What are the key requirements of SIST EN 12674-1:2000?
SIST EN 12674-1:2000 is a vocabulary standard, so its main job is to fix the words used for the equipment rather than to set test methods or acceptance limits. The important points are the categories of terminology it establishes and the way it organizes the names of roll containers.
Main areas covered by the terminology
- Roll containers - the standard identifies the basic equipment class. This gives everyone a shared term for the wheeled container type used in handling and distribution.
- Related equipment such as dollys - the standard extends the vocabulary to equipment used with or alongside roll containers. This matters when purchasing or cataloguing accessories and support items.
- Main styles of roll container - the standard defines the principal forms of roll container. Users can then describe the general construction type instead of relying on informal wording.
- Special forms derived from the main styles - the standard names variants based on the main styles. This helps when a design is close to a standard type but has a specific adaptation.
- Field of use in packaging and distribution of goods - the terminology supports communication in packaging and distribution activities. That is important for logistics, warehousing, and supply-chain documentation.
- Terminology consistency - by standardizing names, the document reduces ambiguity in technical documents, sales descriptions, internal specifications, and product records. That improves communication between buyer and supplier.
What terms does SIST EN 12674-1:2000 define?

Who uses SIST EN 12674-1:2000?
SIST EN 12674-1:2000 is used by people who need a common vocabulary for roll containers in packaging and distribution of goods. That includes manufacturers, suppliers, buyers, warehouse operators, and technical staff who write specifications or product descriptions.
It is also useful for quality and purchasing teams when they need to identify exactly which container style or related dolly is being discussed. In daily work, that helps reduce confusion in orders, drawings, stock records, and internal procedures.
What changed in SIST EN 12674-1:2000 from the previous edition?
SIST EN 12674-1:2000 is identical to EN 12674-1:1999.
What does the SIST EN 12674-1:2000 document contain?
SIST EN 12674-1:2000 is a short terminology document rather than a test or design standard. Its content is focused on naming roll containers, related dollys, the main styles of roll container, and special forms derived from those styles.
The front matter identifies the standard in Slovene, German, French, and English, and shows its classification under ICS 55.180.10 and 01.040.55. The document is intended to support clear technical communication across packaging and distribution work, where precise names matter more than detailed performance rules.
