Introduction
This European Standard is a type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100-1.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered are
indicated in the scope of this European Standard.
When provisions of this type C standard are different from those which are stated in type A or B standards, the
provisions of this type C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other standards, for machines
that have been designed and built according to the provisions of this type C standard.
The series of standards should be read in conjunction with the documents developed by CEN/TC 183/WG 1
for mobile waste containers (series of standards EN 840), for stationary waste containers (series of standards
EN 12574) and for selective collection containers emptied by the top (Type B of EN 13071) that are
compatible with the lifting devices specified in these standards.
While producing this European Standard it was assumed that:
only persons who have been appropriately trained will operate the side loaded RCV;
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;
harmful materials, such as asbestos, are not used as part of the machine;
components are kept in good repair and working order, so that the required characteristics remain despite
wear within the specified limits as stated in the maintenance manual;
by design of the load bearing elements, a safe operation of the machine is assured for loading ranging
from zero to 100 % of the rated capacities and during the tests;
the equipment shall be designed for operation with an ambient temperature between -10 °C and +40 °C;
negotiation occurs between the manufacturer and the user concerning the specific uses and places of
use of the machinery;
the locations for use of the side loaded RCV are safe (e.g. tarmac road).
The standard is designed for careful consideration by designers, manufacturers, suppliers and users of side
loaded RCVs.

11
---------------------- Page: 12 ----------------------
EN 1501-2:2005 (E)
4.2 Compaction operating modes and controls
4.2.1 Closed and open systems
4.2.1.1 Closed system
When the rave rail is 1 600 mm or more above the level on which the side loaded RCV is standing, and any
shear trap is at least 850 mm away from the rave rail (see Figure A.2).
4.2.1.2 Open system
When the rave rail does not meet the above mentioned measurement of a closed system.
NOTE This approach is not related to the Annex IV of the machinery directive.
4.2.2 Compaction modes
Each side loaded RCV may be fitted with one or more of the following compaction operating modes:
4.2.2.1 Automatic compaction
Automatic compaction mechanisms are activated by an impulse command, e.g. by a start control device or by
the emptying of a container into the hopper:
continuous cycle is one that continually cycles until stopped by an independent action (“AUTO”);
single cycle is one that cycles once with a start impulse or the emptying and then stops without any other
action (“SINGLE”);
multi cycle is one that cycles by a start impulse or emptying for a given number of times and then stops
without any other action (“MULTI”).
For single and/or multi cycles the start impulse may be generated by means of the start command of the lifting
device.
4.2.2.2 Semi-automatic compaction
Semi-automatic compaction can either be a controlled cycle or an intermittent cycle as follows:
The controlled cycle is activated by one single hold-to-run control, e.g. button or lever, from the start until all
shear traps have been passed. Thereafter, the cycle will be completed automatically, even if the button or
lever is released (“CTRL”).
The intermittent cycle works automatically without any other action and is interrupted at least 500 mm before
the first shear trap. A hold-to-run control is required to run the compaction mechanism for that part of the cycle
where a shear trap is created up to the end of the cycle (“SEMI”).
4.2.2.3 Manual compaction
The compaction mechanism is commanded and controlled by the operative by means of a hold-to-run control,
e.g. button or lever, for each movement (“MAN”).
4.2.2.4 Selection of mode/compaction
A selection of mode is when a compaction operating mode can be changed to or from any of the modes
mentioned under 4.2.2.1 to 4.2.2.3 ("SELECT").
12
---------------------- Page: 13 ----------------------
EN 1501-2:2005 (E)
4.3 Discharge system operating modes and controls
Each side loaded RCV may be designed for one or more of the following discharge operating mode(s), as
described in 4.3.2 and 4.3.3:
4.3.1 Automatic discharge mode
The automatic discharge door opening and closing modes are forbidden.
4.3.2 Semi-automatic discharge mode
The discharge door automatically achieves each sequence of movement of the discharge cycle except for the
final closure (at least 500 mm before closed position) by a command using a hold-to-run control device.
4.3.3 Manual discharge mode
The discharge door achieves each sequence of movement within the discharge cycle by a specific separate
command.
4.4 Lifting device operating modes and controls
Each side loaded RCV may be designed for one or more of the following lifting device operating modes, as
described in 4.4.1 to 4.4.3:
4.4.1 Manual lifting mode
The lifting device achieves each movement within the emptying cycle by a specific command using a hold-to-
run control device.
4.4.2 Semi-automatic lifting mode
The lifting device achieves each sequence of movements (two or more movements in the sequence) of the
emptying cycle by a command using a hold-to-run or impulse control device.
4.4.3 Automatic lifting mode
The lifting device achieves all the sequences of the emptying cycle by one command.
4.4.4 Selection of mode/lifting device
A selection of mode is when a lifting operating mode can be changed to or from any of the modes mentioned
under 4.4.1 to 4.4.3 ("SELECT").
