European foreword
This document (EN 13071-1:2019) 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 January 2020, and conflicting national standards shall
be withdrawn at the latest by January 2020.
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 13071-1:2008.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are listed below:
a) addition of an introduction;
b) addition of terminological entries for "container" (3.1), "flexible container" (3.17) and
"mechatronics" (3.18), while former entries for "type A-container" (3.15) and "type B-container"
were deleted;
c) addition of a new sub clause 4.1 "Recommendations" for installation, maintenance and cleaning of a
container;
d) alignment of the scope according to 4.1;
e) splitting up requirements for design of containers (4.2) and filling apertures (4.3) and addition of
further requirements for filling apertures depending on their height;
f) inclusion of a requirement in 4.6 that the lifting connection shall be positioned so that it can be
lifted from any direction;
g) addition of indications in clause 6 on which test methods apply to flexible containers.
According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the
following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria,
Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia,
France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta,
Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland,
Turkey and the United Kingdom.
Introduction
According to the European health and safety requirements, work equipment are designed and
constructed so that it can be operated without putting persons at risk. The manufacturer has to
consider the intended conditions of use, but also any reasonably foreseeable misuse.
For that purpose the manufacturer carries out a risk analysis in order to determine the hazards which
the operators and users are exposed to. The equipment will then be designed and constructed taking
into account the results of this assessment, by an iterative process of risk assessment and risk
reduction.
As specified in the guidance document "Classification of equipment used for lifting loads with lifting
machinery" (Machinery Working Group — January 2012), containers used for collecting and lifting bulk
material are not covered by Directive 2006/42/EC [1].
However, a large number of the hazards which the operators using such equipment and the persons
present in the vicinity of lifting/handling operations are exposed to are the same as those resulting
from the use of lifting appliances proper.
These are the reasons why CEN/TC 183 decided to include into this standard requirements intended to
support the corresponding essential health and safety requirements of Directive 2006/42/EC [1], in
particular those related to lifting operations (part 4 of Annex I).
1 Scope
This document specifies requirements of stationary containers, top lifted and bottom emptied, used for
collection of solid non-hazardous wastes, with capacity up to 5 000 l.
This document specifies general characteristics of such containers and their accessories, test methods
and safety requirements as well as recommendations for installation, maintenance and cleaning
operations.
