DIN EN 14482:2011-01 EN 14482:2010 (E) 5 Introduction The European Union Commission stressed already in its Green paper on postal services in 1992 the need to establish common rules for the development of community postal services and the im

22、provement of quality of service. Furthermore the Commission has acknowledged the need for technical harmonisation to increase the interoperability of postal networks in the Member States and has given CEN a mandate to define fields where such harmonisation could be useful and suggest priorities and

23、timescales. DIN EN 14482:2011-01 EN 14482:2010 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the performance requirements and testing methods for standard letter mail trays, as specified in the classification below. The trays should be used to facilitate the exchange of international mail. The tech

24、nical specification of the trays should be such that the performance requirements specified herein are met and tests specified herein successfully completed. The technical specifications of trays as such however, are beyond the scope of this standard. This standard covers a one-size universal letter

25、 mail tray suitable for carrying C4, C5 and C6 mail: Table 1 Letters (maximum accepted sizes) Height Width C4 353 mm 250 mm C5 173 mm 250 mm C6 120 mm 250 mm The trays are suitable for containing C4 mail stacked in a horizontal plane and for stacking C5 and C6 mail vertically. 2 Normative references

31、trays and closures to fit well onto each other and ability of easy nesting into each other as well as separating of trays and closures from each other 3.2 durability ability of a tray and closure to withstand conditions to which it is subjected (when tested) 3.3 friction capacity to prevent sliding

32、on an inclined low friction conveying surface specified as the coefficient of friction 3.4 letter mail category of postal items classified according to its physical characteristics such as weight and dimensions 3.5 nestability ability of trays and closures to fit together one partially inside the ot

33、her (measured as the ratio of the number of trays and closures which can be nested in a stack for one tray (tray and closure) height) 3.6 recyclability ability to recover the material of a discarded tray (measured as the content of recycled material in a tray) 3.7 stackability ability to be stacked

34、and fully palletisable when filled with letter mail 3.8 temperature resistance ability to maintain shape (when conditioned) within a pre-defined temperature range 3.9 tray primary container with closure for the carriage of letter mail 3.10 weather resistance ability to remain serviceable (when condi

35、tioned) under specific weather conditions 4 Requirements 4.1 General The mail tray shall meet all the requirements stated in Clause 4. 4.2 Tray size requirements Minimum internal tray dimensions shall accommodate mail of the following sizes with ease of handling: DIN EN 14482:2011-01 EN 14482:2010 (

36、E) 8 Table 2 Height Width C4 353 mm 250 mm C5 173 mm 250 mm C6 120 mm 250 mm 4.3 Tray performance requirement 4.3.1 Compatibility Trays and closures shall fit well onto each other, nest easily into each other and separate well from each other without the use of undue force. 4.3.2 Compression The tra

37、ys shall meet a minimum compression strength requirement of 180 kg at a deflection of less than 10 mm before failure. NOTE This represents a five high stack of trays each weighing 10 kg and a safety factor of 4,5, as specified in EN ISO 12048. 4.3.3 Durability Trays shall withstand drop, vibration a

38、nd crushing simulations as per the following: Each tray shall withstand a minimum average of 70 cycles with a standard deviation of maximum 20 %, as specified in EN ISO 2247, EN 22248, EN ISO 4180. 4.3.4 Closure The closure of the tray is to provide security during transit and handling. The closures

39、 shall fit well on the tray to prevent tampering with the content. The closures shall be enclosed tightly to the tray by means of strapping in both directions, once over the width and once over the length of the tray. 4.3.5 Flammability Trays manufactured from plastic material shall meet requirement

40、s as specified in EN 60695-11-20. Trays made from alternative materials shall meet similar requirements when tested with appropriate flammability tests. 4.3.6 Friction The friction coefficient between tray and conveyor surface as specified in 5.3.6 shall not be lower than 0,31. 4.3.7 Handles/handhol

41、ds Handles/handholds shall be designed for ergonomically comfortable handling, with no sharp edges and as referenced in EN 1005-2. 4.3.8 Nestability Nesting ratio of trays and closures to the one “tray and closure height“ shall be a minimum of 1:5. The better the nesting ratio the lower the transpor

42、t cost for moving empty trays and closures. DIN EN 14482:2011-01 EN 14482:2010 (E) 9 4.3.9 Recyclability Trays should be manufactured from a material which is recyclable as specified in EN 13430. 4.3.10 Stackability Trays shall be stackable and inter-stackable. Trays that are stacked shall be placed

43、 on a flat, horizontal and level surface and remain stable at up to 1,8 m stacking height. 4.3.11 Tare weight The tray and closure shall meet the tray dimensions and durability requirements specified with a tare weight remaining as light as possible. Because of the impact of tare weight on transport

44、 cost, the tare weight shall not be higher than 10 % of the maximum filled weight of the tray. The mail load capacity of the tray is determined by the minimum tray dimensions specified in 4.2. The average tare weight shall not exceed 1 050 g and the standard deviation shall not be higher than 1 % of

45、 the average weight. 4.3.12 Temperature resistance Trays shall be capable of being handled at extreme temperatures, as specified in EN ISO 2233: from - 35 C to 70 C there shall be materials stability such that the material shall maintain its essential shape for up to 8 h; at - 35 C the trays shall b

46、e resistant to the drop test (perform the drop test on the edge of the loaded tray with 10 kg gross weight from 1 m high). 4.3.13 Weather resistance Water spray exposure The tray and closure shall be weather resistant with no more than 3 % ingress of water as specified in EN ISO 2875. 5 Test method

47、5.1 Test methods introduction The following testing methods were designed to represent simulation of real life usage and handling in an international mail exchange environment. The test methods intend to characterize the functionality, strength and life span of trays used in the exchange of internat

48、ional mail. The tests are laboratory tests. Life span is expressed as number of cycles successfully completed in the durability test (5.3.10), which is meant to reflect the minimum number of trips the tray can make in real life before failure. The life span expressed as number of cycles is not meant

49、 to be an indicator for the economic life span, although in general the higher the number of cycles the higher the economic life span. Economic life span on the one hand is a function of materials / design / manufacture and is defined by the technical specification of the tray, and on the other hand it is a function of the equipment management determining circulation tim
