scope:

This specification presents a standard, reproducible test method for various drive units, chassis, designs and constructions, and various loading and emptying methods, for the refuse collection vehicles described in DIN EN 1501 (all parts), with which a comparison of energy consumption can be performed.

This specification defines criteria for a reference area with regard to a synthesized tour (test circuit). This serves to determine a representative test circuit and/or test bench cycle with which the energy consumption of the refuse collection vehicles to be inspected can be evaluated and compared during reproducible test trips and/or test bench runs.
