What is BS EN 1501-4 - Noise test code for refuse collection vehicles (RCV)s about?
BS EN 1501 is a European Standard that discusses general requirements and safety requirements for refuse collection vehicles and their associated lifting devices.
BS EN 1501-4 is the fourth part of a multi-part series that provides a procedure for the measurement and calculation of sound power emitted by RCVs, thus enabling manufacturers and importers to mark and certify all three types of RCVs in compliance with the standard.
BS EN 1501-4 goal is to obtain, on one hand, the emission sound pressure level at the operator’s position(s) and, on the other hand, the sound power level of the RCV during waste collection.
BS EN 1501-4 specifies a standardized procedure for measurement and later comparison of RCVs noise emission, consisting of four operating conditions: chassis operation, compaction operation, lifting, tilting and lowering operation of a container and dumping of specified waste into the RCV.
