Foreword
This document (EN 13071-2:2008) 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text or by endorsement, at the latest by December 2008, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn
at the latest by December 2008.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document, together with EN 13071-1:2008, supersedes EN 13071:2002.
Part 1 covers the general requirements for stationary waste containers up to 5 000 l, top lifted and bottom
emptied. Some technical changes respect to the previous edition, EN 13071:2002, address:
a) the minimum capacity of 80 l which has been deleted;
b) the definitions of, and general requirements for Type A and Type B containers;
c) test conditions including a new test on the resistance of the roof;
d) changes to data sheet, marking and test report;
e) deletion of Annex A dealing with the noise test method for containers for waste glass collection for Type A
and Type B, with volumes greater than or equal to 500 l.
Part 2 covers additional requirements for underground or partly underground containers.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech
Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia,
Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain,
Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
1 Scope
This European Standard specifies the additional requirements for underground or partly underground systems
top lifted and bottom emptied, used for collection of solid non-hazardous wastes with a capacity up to 5 000 l.

3.2
container
mobile part of underground or partly underground system, designated to collect/receive the waste
3.3
liner
equipment installed fully or partly in the ground, whose function is to receive the container
3.4
housing
part of the container that is fixed to the pedestrian platform, above ground level, that is used to fill the
container
3.5
pedestrian platform
part of the system to which the housing is fixed or is used by pedestrians to walk on to fill the container
3.6
emergent part
part of the liner that permanently emerges from surrounding ground level
3.7
hole
space below ground level that is left by the container when it is removed from the liner
3.8
safety barrier
moving part of the system that prevents accidental access to the hole left by the container when it is removed
from the liner
3.9
safety floor
moving part of the system that covers the hole left by the container when it is removed from the liner
4 Requirements
4.1 General requirements
See EN 13071-1:2008, Clause 4.
4.2 Design
The liner shall be resistant to withstand ground pressure and shall be secured against floating or sinking.
The liner shall be designed and built to allow easy cleaning and pumping out of any fluids that have leaked
from the container.
The container shall retain residual liquids up to a minimum of 2 % of the nominal volume.
Safety devices shall be resistant to all weather conditions, moisture and dirt that could negatively affect their
functionality.
For maintenance and cleaning, all parts of the underground or partly underground system shall be easily
accessible.
If present, the pedestrian platform shall be designed in order to prevent accidental slipping and tripping of
pedestrians.
4.3 Safety requirements
4.3.1 Hole
During supervised operations, the hole if deeper than 500 mm measured at any point shall be equipped with
safety device(s) in order to prevent anyone accidentally falling into it, or being injured by any moving parts of
the system.
The safety device can be either a safety floor or a safety barrier.
If, when the container is removed, the emergent part is a minimum of 900 mm above ground level at any point,
no other safety device will be required to protect accidental falls into the hole.
In all cases, the safety device(s) shall be highly visible or sensitive to pedestrians.
If the hole is left unsupervised, it shall be covered by a specific device that shall resist a minimum load of
500 kg/m² on every point applied on a circle of a diameter of 200 mm.
