Appendix A: Standards of
mailboxes in Europe
The
European standard for letter boxes, EN 13724:2002 "Postal services –
Apertures of private letter boxes and letter plates
– Requirements and test
methods", replaces earlier national standards such as BS 2911:1974
"Specification for letter plates" or DIN 32617. It specifies among
other things:- that envelope size C4 (229 mm × 324 mm) must be deliverable without bending or damage;
- that the internal volume must able to hold at least a 40 mm high bundle of C4 envelopes;
- an aperture width of either 230–280 mm (> C4 width) or 325–400 mm (> C4 height);
- an aperture height of 30–35 mm;
- a mounting height of between 0.7 and 1.7 m for the aperture;
- and various privacy, theft-protection, rain protection, vandalism resistance and corrosion-resistance test requirements.
In the U.S.A., the USPS also has
established postal delivery guidelines for its various residential and business
customers, including mailbox size, location, and identification requirements.
