4.1 General requirements on safety and health
4.1.1 Every component and procedure for identification (ID) and/or determination of the quantity of waste
(DQW) shall not influence the safety and/or on the correct operation of the refuse collection vehicle (RCV)
including the lifting device.
4.1.2 The fitting of components to the waste container shall not have any influence on the safe use of the
waste container.
4.1.3 All components for ID and DQW, when used on vehicles conforming to EN 1501, shall conform to the
EMC requirements as defined in EN 1501.
4.1.4 If an existing RCV or lifting device is modified by fitting an ID or DQW system then the conformity
with EN 1501 and relevant standards shall be checked again.
If the fitting of the sensing devices changes one or more characteristics of the RCV and its associated lifting
device (maximum permissible mass, operating…), new characteristics shall be included in the documentation
of the RCV and of the lifting device.
A lifting device equipped with systems for ID and DQW shall fulfil the requirements defined in Annex D
NOTE Attention is drawn to the conformity with the requirements of the Machinery Directive (98/37/EC) and the EMC
Directives (89/336/EC, 95/54/EC) if an existing refuse collection vehicle or lifting device is modified by fitting an ID or DQW
system.
4.1.5 The system consisting of the OBC and the sensing devices for ID and for DQW shall be galvanically
separated from the controlling unit of the lifting device and shall not negatively affect the functions of the
chassis, bodywork and lifting device.
4.1.6 The components for ID and DQW shall be fitted in such a way that they do not generate any risk for
any person (driver, operator, other person) under normal and emergency situations.
4.1.7 Where handling of elements by persons is necessary, dimensions of related devices shall be based
on EN ISO 7250.
4.1.8 All electrical systems shall conform to EN 60204-1.
4.1.9 Every component shall be installed in accordance with the instructions of its manufacturer.
4.2 Data carriers
4.2.1 Positioning on the container

The manufacturer of ID devices shall provide detailed instructions on the assembly of fitting of data carriers on
the containers in particular regarding dimensions, tolerances and orientation.
4.2.1.2 Position
4.2.1.2.1 General
The position of data carriers on containers shall be such that safe and unambiguous communication with the
reader is possible and that the risk that the data carrier is damaged is minimal.
4.2.1.2.2 Transponder position for automatic reading or writing
If containers are lifted by the comb lifting device defined in A.2, the position of transponders shall be such that
the axis of the transponders are aligned with the position indicated in A.3. If containers are not lifted by the
comb lifting device defined in A.2, other positions can be used, for which recommendations are given in
informative Annex C.
4.2.1.2.3 Transponder position for manual reading or writing
The transponder position shall conform to ergonomic recommendations to allow the reading and the writing in
a proper position for the operator. The positions defined in A.3 conform to ergonomic recommendations.

The optical data carrier position shall conform to one of the options in normative Annex B, depending on the
lifting device.
4.2.1.2.5 Optical data carrier (dot code/bar code) position for manual reading
The optical data carrier position shall conform to ergonomic recommendations to allow the reading and the
writing in a proper position for the operator. The positions defined in Annex B does not conform to ergonomic
recommendations. It is necessary in the case of using optical data carriers for both type of reading (automatic
and manual) to fit a redundant optical data carrier in a position compliant with ergonomic recommendations. It
is also possible to use a handled optical reader that allow the reading of the optical data carrier fitted in the
positions defined in Annex B in a proper position for the operator.
