BS EN 12574-2 is the second part of the multi-series EN 12574 standard that specifies the test methods for stationary waste containers (in the text also called containers) according to EN 12574-2:2017. It also specifies the target requirements to be reached either during or after the tests.
BS EN 12574-2 on stationary waste containers is relevant to:
Container systems are used for storing wastes at the point of waste generation, until they are moved for collection.
BS EN 12574-2 provides test methods for measuring the size, shape, and dimensions of containers, as well as tank methods, colours, and supporting parameters to perform dynamic tests.
BS EN 12574-2 provides an internal crack testing method which helps assess durable and toughness of containers
Overall, BS EN 12574-2 provides manufacturers with the information and test methods to be performed on the containers which help them to manufacture durable, high quality, robust, and more volume-efficient waste storage containers.
