IS 18510 : 2024/ISO 24160 : 2022 Refuse Collection Vehicles - Waste Odour and Leachate Prevention and Control
NATIONAL FOREWORD
This Indian Standard which is identical to ISO 24160 : 2022 'Refuse collection vehicles - Waste odour and leachate prevention and control' issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Solid Waste Management Sectional Committee and approval of the Chemical Division Council.
Waste odour and leachate emitted from refuse collection vehicles (RCVs) have a negative impact on living environments and can be a cause of complaints by residents.
This standard specifies methods for preventing the spread of waste odour and the leakage of leachate during the collection and transportation of waste in refuse collection vehicles (RCVs), when the control of the spread of waste odour and leakage of leachate is required in order to protect the surrounding environment.
The text of ISO standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain conventions and terminologies are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:
a) Wherever the words ‘International Standard’ appear referring to this standard, they should be read as 'Indian Standard’; and
b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker in the International Standard, while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
