Abstract. In accordance with the requirements of the Law of Ukraine “On Standardization” and the fundamental nation-al standards of national standardization, work has been carried out to develop (using the confirmation method and the translation method) national standards of Ukraine that establish requirements for refuse collection vehicle (RCV) with different types of loaded and their lifting devices, – DSTU EN 1501-1:2022 (EN 1501-1:2021, IDT), DSTU EN 1501-2:2022 (EN 1501-2:2021, IDT), DSTU EN 1501-3:2022 (EN 1501-3:2021, IDT), DSTU EN 1501-5:2022 (EN 1501-5:2021, IDT), har-monized with the relevant European standards. EN 1501-1:2021, EN 1501-2:2021, EN 1501-3:2021 and EN 1501-5:2021.
The standards describe the designs and characteristics of refuse collection vehicle (RCV) with different types of loaded (rear, side, front) and their lifting devices. The standards consider all significant hazards, dangerous situations and events that may occur during the operation of refuse collection vehicle (RCV) and their equipment (lifting devices, desig-nated refuse container, etc.) throughout their entire service life.
