Scope

The standard applies to roller contact tipper vehicles (roll-off/abrollkipper) with design and approval up to 12 t and to the matching steel roller containers of System 900. It defines general requirements for construction, dimensional interfaces and tolerances, marking requirements and aspects relevant to safe operation and interchangeability between vehicle and container systems.

Key topics and requirements

• Definitions and terms specific to roller contact tipper vehicles and System 900 containers.
• Dimensional requirements and tolerances for interface components (rollers, receiving devices, connection dimensions) to ensure interchangeability.
• Marking and identification requirements for vehicles and containers to support safe handling and fleet management.
• Basic requirements for materials and structural form (steel containers type 900) and relevant strength considerations.
• Requirements and recommendations related to load securing, handling and safe operation.
• Maintenance, inspection and repair provisions to ensure continued safe use.
• Conformance and transitional notes relative to earlier and later editions of the DIN 30722 series.

Typical use and users

Primary users include vehicle manufacturers and bodybuilders, roller-container producers, municipal and commercial waste fleet managers, procurement specialists specifying compatible container systems, testing and inspection bodies, and standards committees developing vehicle/container interoperability rules. The standard supports procurement, design and compliance activities.
