3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
NOTE Terms for components of mobile waste containers and lifting devices in three languages are given in Annex A
of EN 840-1:2012.
3.1
mobile waste and recycling container
appropriately designed container fitted with wheels intended to temporarily store waste
3.2
lifting device
structure which picks-up, tilts and empties containers
3.3
comb lifting device
lifting device in which the picking-up system consists of a row of teeth and a locking system to retain the
container during emptying
3.4
trunnion lifting device
lifting device in which the picking-up system consists of a pair of arms with automatic locking mechanism to fit
the trunnion to retain the container during emptying
3.5
volume
total space inside the container when the lid is closed
Note 1 to entry: See Table 1.
3.6
nominal volume
capacity
volume stated by the manufacturer
Note 1 to entry: See Table 1 without tolerances.
Note 2 to entry: The English term "capacity" and the French term "capacité" are translated in the German version by
the term "Nennvolumen".
3.7
nominal mass
mass, which is calculated as given in Clause 6
3.8
total permissible mass
mass of the container plus the nominal mass
3.9
functional and safety dimensions
essential dimensions which ensure the functionality and interchangeability of the container with the compatible
lifting device and which are necessary for the operator's safety and health
4 Volumes
This part of EN 840 identifies the two classes of containers:
 Class I - small size (nominal volume up to 1 000 l);
 Class II - large size (nominal volume between 1 000 l and 1 300 l).
Within the two above-mentioned classes of containers the following volumes are identified: 500 l, 660 l, 770 l,
1 000 l, 1 100 l and 1 200 l. Nominal volumes different from those referenced can be used by agreement
between user and manufacturer. The tolerance of the volumes shall be ± 5 % maximum measured according
to EN 840-5.
5 Dimensions and design
5.1 The design of the containers need not correspond to the drawings given in Figure 1. The functional
dimensions given in Table 1 shall be respected. Recommendations for manufacturers of lifting devices are
given in Annex A (see also EN 1501-1).
5.2 The container shall be constructed so that when it is unloaded or loaded with a nominal load
(see Clause 6), it fits on an approved compatible lifting device. It shall be automatically locked safely into the
lifting device during the lifting operation. If the container is equipped with a comb receiver, it shall correspond
to Figure 2.
5.3 The lid(s) shall cover the opening of the container completely. It shall be opened easily by itself during
the emptying cycle it/they shall be made with at least two fixing points and have at least one means of
opening.
5.4 Handles fitted in front of the trunnion shall have a measurement over the handles of 10 mm less than
the actual measurement in Table 1, dimension N° 33. The handles and their location also shall be designed so
that they do not damage the operator.
5.5 If the container has ribs in the frontal receiver they shall meet the requirements of Figures 2 and 4.
5.6 The container shall have four swivel castors. Each swivel castor shall be capable of withstanding 1/3 of
the total permissible mass. Each castor shall meet the requirements of EN 840-5. The container shall have
facilities for mounting the castor platine according to at least one of the measurements as shown in Figure 5.
5.7 All the surfaces of the container including design features shall be smooth and free of any foreign
bodies or flaws.
5.8 The container should have a drain plug.
5.9 When direction locks are fitted they shall be fixed on at least two castors.
5.10 The container should be fitted with two braked wheels to requirements of EN 840-5. In case of
centralised braking and locking system the brake pedal and the lock shall be fixed on a lateral side of the
container. The centralised locking shall be able to be unlocked with a standard triangular key as shown in
Figure 6. The effectiveness of the centralised braking system shall conform to EN 840-5.
6 Nominal mass
The container shall be constructed strongly enough to carry a mass of 0,4 kg/dm x nominal volume.
Containers with a nominal volume of more than 1 100 l shall be constructed strongly enough to carry a load of
440 kg.
7 Safety and health requirements
The container shall meet the safety and health requirements according to EN 840-6.
8 Testing
The container shall fulfil the performance requirements and the tests of EN 840-5.
9 Marking
9.1 Each container complying with the requirements of this part of EN 840 shall be durably and readably
marked on the body in a visible part with:
 number of this European Standard (EN 840-2);
 nominal volume;
 manufacturer’s name or trademark;
 total permissible mass, in kilograms;
 year and month of manufacturing.
9.2 Additional marking for quality, recycling, etc. is allowed. Starting five years after the publication of this
standard, plastic parts of containers, lids and wheels shall be marked in accordance with EN
