EN 15132:2006 - Container shells for mobile waste containers with a capacity up to 1 700 l - Performance requirements and test methods

Overview

EN 15132:2006 is a CEN European Standard specifying performance requirements and test methods for container shells that house mobile waste containers up to 1 700 l (covered by EN 840‑1 to EN 840‑4). The standard defines general performance characteristics, safety and installation recommendations, mandatory marking and user information, and the sequence of laboratory tests required to demonstrate conformity.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Scope and safety: Applies to container shells for mobile waste containers ≤ 1 700 l. Addresses user safety (surface aggressivity, edges, pinching risks) and internal design to avoid waste retention and facilitate cleaning.
  • Dimensional & ergonomic rules:
    • Loading height not to exceed 1.70 m.
    • Bottom edge of doors ≥ 30 mm above ground.
    • Minimum clearance between shell and container: 150 mm for 4‑wheel containers, 15 mm for 2‑wheel containers.
  • Mechanical performance and durability tests:
    • Stability test: resisting a lateral effort of 2,5 kN without tipping.
    • Door functionality: doors opened/closed 1 000 cycles plus 1 kN load checks.
    • Hatches: 50 000 open/close cycles.
    • Roof load: uniform load 100 kg/m² for minimum 6 hours.
    • Impact resistance: simulated exterior impacts using a 50 kg test load (glass marbles in a bag) on each face.
  • Environmental resistance:
    • Corrosion: salt spray test per ISO 9227 for 400 h, no corrosion on ≥95% of external surfaces.
    • Weathering (thermoplastics): outdoor or accelerated Xenon‑arc testing (EN ISO 4892‑2 / EN ISO 877); acceptance criteria include retained impact tensile strength (≥50% of initial) and color fastness (≤ level 4 change per EN ISO 105‑B02).
  • Noise: measurement of noise emitted by opening/closing per Directive 2000/14 procedures; customer sets location‑based limits.
  • Marking & documentation: durable marking with reference to EN 15132, manufacturer, acceptable container range and manufacture date; manufacturer data sheet required.

Practical applications and users

Who uses EN 15132:

  • Waste container and container‑shell manufacturers designing products to meet European market expectations.
  • Testing laboratories and conformity assessors performing stability, durability, corrosion and weathering tests.
  • Municipalities, waste management companies, procurement officers specifying durable, safe street furniture for communal waste collection points.
  • Installers and maintenance teams following installation recommendations (horizontal base, clear approach area) and maintenance advice to prolong service life.

Benefits:

  • Ensures safety, longevity and environmental resistance of container shells.
  • Facilitates procurement of standardized, test‑verified products and supports recycling/disassembly at end of life.
