Introduction
This document is a type-C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100:2010.
This document is of relevance, in particular, for the following stakeholder groups representing the
market players with regard to machinery safety:
— machine manufacturers (small, medium and large enterprises);
— health and safety bodies (regulators, accident prevention organizations, market surveillance etc.).
Others can be affected by the level of machinery safety achieved with the means of the document by the
above-mentioned stakeholder groups:
— machine users/employers (small, medium and large enterprises);
— machine users/employees (e.g. trade unions, organizations for people with special needs);
— service providers, e.g. for maintenance (small, medium and large enterprises);
— consumers (in case of machinery intended for use by consumers).
The above-mentioned stakeholder groups have been given the possibility to participate at the drafting
process of this document.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events
are covered are indicated in the Scope of this document.
When requirements of this type-C standard are different from those which are stated in type-A or type-
B standards, the requirements of this type-C standard take precedence over the requirements of the
other standards for machines that have been designed and built according to the requirements of this
type-C standard.
This European Standard is intended for careful consideration by designers, manufacturers, suppliers
and users of RCVs.
This European Standard should be read in conjunction with:
— the documents developed for refuse collection vehicles (EN 1501-1:2021, EN 1501-2:2021 and
EN 1501-3:2021) which are compatible with the refuse container lifting devices specified in this
standard;
— the documents developed for mobile refuse containers according to EN 840:2020 (all parts), for
stationary refuse containers according to EN 12574:2017 (all parts) and for selective collection
containers according to EN 13071:2019 (all parts) which are compatible with the lifting devices
specified in this European Standard.
While producing this standard it was assumed that:
— for RCV the requirements of road traffic regulations apply. Where road traffic regulations are in
conflict with the provisions of this standard, the road regulations have priority;
— due to the European regulations on the approval of vehicles for use on public roads, the
requirements of UN/ECE R10:2019 for an RCV with regard to EMC applies. Therefore, EMC is not
further considered in this standard;
— the guidelines issued by the chassis manufacturer have been taken into account;
— the guidelines of the lifting device manufacturer have been taken into account;
— that based on measurements on different types of RCVs hand-arm vibrations are in general lower
than 2,5 m/s ;
— that based on measurements on different types of RCVs whole-body vibrations are lower than
0,5 m/s ;
— 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;
— components are kept in good repair and working order, so that the required characteristics remain
despite wear and tear;
— harmful materials, such asbestos, are not used as part of RCV`s;
— only persons who have been appropriately trained will operate on RCV`s.
1 Scope
This document deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to lifting
devices used for the emptying of designated refuse containers into RCVs and their fitting onto the RCVs
when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by
the manufacturer throughout their foreseeable lifetime as defined in Clause 4.
This document is applicable to the design and construction of the refuse container lifting devices and
the mounting of other lifting devices so as to ensure that they are fitted for their function and can be
operated, adjusted and maintained during their entire lifetime. It is not applicable to the end of life of
the lifting devices.
This document describes and gives the safety requirements of the lifting devices for emptying refuse
containers and their interfaces with the corresponding parts of the RCVs and will be used in conjunction
with EN 1501-1:2021 for the rear, side and front loaded RCVs. It refers to EN 1501-4:2007 for the noise
test code.
This document is not applicable to:
— operation in severe conditions e.g. extreme environmental conditions such as:
— temperatures below −20 °C and above +40 °C;
— tropical environment;
— wind velocity in excess of 75 km/h;
— contaminating environment;
— corrosive environment;
— operation in potentially explosive atmospheres;
— lifting and transportation of persons;
— emptying refuse containers other than those manufactured according to EN 840:2020 (all parts),
EN 12574:2017 (all parts), EN 13071:2019 (all parts), and those described as paladin, diamond,
skip containers;
— loading bulky refuse by means of platform or forks;
— handling of loads the nature of which could lead to dangerous situations (e.g. hot refuses, acids and
bases, radioactive materials, contaminated refuse, especially fragile loads, explosives);
— operation on ships;
— fitting and operation on stationary compactors.
This document is not applicable to machinery which is manufactured before the date of its publication
by CEN.

RCV
vehicle used for the collection and transportation of refuse (e.g. household refuse, bulky refuse,
recyclable materials) based on loading via refuse containers or by hand
Note 1 to entry: Most of the time it consists of a chassis or rigid chassis onto which a bodywork is mounted.
Sometimes it can also be a truck and trailer combination.
