This document 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.

This document is not applicable in cases when it is not necessary to provide control of waste odour or leachate due to the composition or packaging of waste and there is no influence on the environment due to the loaded waste.
