Atlantest <br />TESTING REPORT <br />DATE: May 12`h 2014 <br />SUBJECT: Waste carts <br />PRODUCTIDENTIFICATION: IPL 60204 <br />TEST: CENTER OF BALANCE POSITION (ANSI Z245.30 APPENDIX E) <br />TEST DESCRIPTION: To determine the height of the handle of a two -wheeled container at the <br />center -of -balance position. This height affects the ease of operation of the cart. <br />MINIMUM PERFORMANCE STANDARD: According to the ANSI standard Z245.30, when <br />in the center -of -balance position, the minimum height is to be 29 inches. The maximum height <br />is to be 40 inches when in the center -of -balance position. ANSI Z245.60 establishes dimensional <br />requirements for the cart. <br />TEST PROCEDURE (Meets the requirements of ANSI Z245.30): <br />I . The test to be conducted on a hard, flat surface. <br />2. Block the wheels so that the cart will not roll. <br />3. Tip the cart slowly, rotating the cart on the wheels, to the center balance position. This <br />position is determined as the position where the cart has a tendency to remain in a <br />balanced (neutral) position, not tipping forward or backward. <br />4. When in the center balance position, place blocks under the container to maintain in <br />balanced position. <br />5. Measure the distance vertically from the ground plane to the center line of the handle of <br />the cart. The accuracy of measurement is to be f0.25 inches. <br />6. Repeat steps 3, 4 and 5 two more times and then average the results for the three <br />determinations. <br />TEST RESULTS: <br />The result is: Average = 36.5 inches <br />SUMMARY: The carts passed the ANSI Z245.30 and Z245.60 standards. <br />enoit Talbot 0 Ing. � <br />Atlantest <br />1580 Principal Avenue <br />St®Malacliie, QC GOR 3N0 <br />
