CEN/TC 183/WG 1 - Waste containers

This document applies to mobile non-sewer-connected toilet cabins system.
It specifies the requirements for services related to the provision of toilet cabins and the relevant requirements for toilet cabins and sanitary products, taking into account comfort, hygiene, health and safety.
It specifies the minimum quality requirements for toilet cabins and sanitary products, as well as the extent of on-site service and the required disinfection and the number of toilet cabins to be provided. It also determines the frequency of use, the maximum number of uses per toilet cabins, the locations and the intervals for on-site service or disposal of faecal water.
This document is applicable to the framework of activities carried out in the following sectors:
—   construction and extractive industries, opencast or underground;
—   public events and recreational activities, festivals and concerts;
—   agriculture, labour camps and temporary work camps;
—   beaches;
—   emergencies;
—   military tactical and training exercises.
There are other types of mobile toilet cabins which are not connected to a sewage system (e.g. dry toilets, composting toilets, incinerations toilets, vacuum toilets, or other technologies and processes) and which are not covered by this document.
This document establishes a system to ensure that mobile sanitation facilities for waste disposal are available not only in the workplaces but wherever there are no waste disposal systems connected to a sewerage network.
This document is directed at manufacturers, services providers' companies and publics or private cabin hirers of toilet cabins not connected to a sewage network.

This European Standard specifies a way to identify the various fractions of municipal waste by a set of visual elements, including colours, symbols, text.
This European Standard is intended to create a unique operative model to easily identify the waste containers through visual elements thereby facilitating collection and recycling/recovery services for both consumers and management companies.

This document lists the general requirements to define levels of performance and acceptance for street cleaning and waste management services and to take into account to draw up and to operate service contracts for a better result in terms of qualitative and quantitative performances definition and survey, clearing agreements in case of deviations, economic optimisation, environmental sustainability and pollution prevention.
When the client isn’t a public administration but a private customer, purchasing street cleaning and/or municipal waste management services directly from the service provider, the standard is applicable, when appropriate; in this case the term “Administration” includes also these private customers.
This document is intended for public authorities and other bodies (or actors) requiring street cleaning and/or waste management services as well as for public and private waste management companies offering services of street cleaning and/or of waste and recycling operations.

The target of this standard is to provide the different actors of the services all the elements to foresee, to fix or to offer for the carrying out of each service of waste management, street cleaning and waste collection and transport, and for the remedying of the unavoidable defaults of the fulfilment of the contracts, restricting deviations in a given incidence and putting right them within time and manners prearranged. Even if the new standard might contain a section of recommended values of the quantitative and qualitative parameters of various services, the main target is to fix a methodology to describe, to survey and to appraise services and possible defaults. Consequently the new standard will cover: - the definitions of the various services, - quantitative and qualitative parameters of the services and the way to measure them, - definition of the minimum level of the service to be let on contract, - parameters to verify for the fulfilment of the contract, - methods for survey and gauge these parameters, - the list of standards that the different equipments used have to comply with, - methods of technical and economical evaluation of the deviations from the contract that are not remedied, or that are not remedied in time by the contractor.
