dome lid(s) and capacities up to 10 000 l for trunnion, double trunnion or pocket lifting devices.
2 Normative references
The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are
indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated
references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
NOTE Terms for components of waste containers and lifting devices in three languages are given in Annex A
of EN 840–1:2012.
3.1
stationary waste container
appropriately designed container without wheels or fitted with them, for positioning empty containers
only, to temporarily store waste
3.2
lifting device
structure which picks-up, tilts and empties containers into the RCV (Refuse Collection Vehicle) and
returns the container to the ground
3.3
trunnion lifting device
lifting device in which the picking-up system of the RCV consists of a pair of arms with automatic
locking mechanism to fit the trunnion to retain the container during emptying
3.4
double trunnion lifting device
lifting device in which the picking-up system of the RCV consists of a pair of arms with automatic
locking mechanism to fit the trunnions and to retain the container during emptying
Note 1 to entry: The double trunnion picking-up system supports the torsional moment during the tilting
motion.
3.5
pocket lifting device
lifting device in which the picking-up system of the RCV consists of a pair of arms to fit the pockets
located on either side of the container
3.6
volume
total space inside the container when the lid is closed
3.6.1
nominal volume
volume of the waste container as declared by the manufacturer
3.6.2

Note 1 to entry: The usable volume is based on specific application depending on the collected material and on
the shape of the cover. It corresponds to:

4 Volumes
The nominal volume of the containers shall be up to 10 000 l (see Tables 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5). The tolerance
on nominal volume is ± 5 %. For measuring methods of volume, see EN 12574-2:2017.
5 Dimensions and design
5.1 The design of the containers need not correspond strictly to the drawings given in Figures 1 to 8.
However, the dimensions given in Tables 1 to 5 and Figures 1 to 8 shall be respected.

fits on an approved compatible lifting device according to EN 1501-5.
5.3 The lid(s) shall be permanently fitted to the body via at least two fixing points and have at least
one hand grip or other means for opening. The force for opening the lid manually shall be maximum
50 N. For container lids needing a handling force higher than 50 N the lid shall be held self-acting in
opened position.
5.4 Handles and their location shall be designed so that they neither injure the operator nor obstruct
