a solid material with elastic properties made from latex from living plants or synthetically.
4 Material
The material from which the lid is produced shall be a polymeric compound of thermoplastics or rubber or a combination of both.
5 Mass
The minimum mass of the lid shall be:
Type 1: 0.50 kg;
Type 2: 0.55 kg;
Type 3: 2.00 kg.

6.2 The lid shall be provided with either:
a) a handle having a grip of not less than 80 mm in length with a clear unobstructed projection of not less than 25 mm, the gripping part of which shall be radiused all round to eliminate sharp corners or edges; or
b) a handle having a length of not less than 80 mm and a solid projection of not less than 25 mm.
Where the lid is designed to lift off the bin, the grip/handle shall be centrally situated.

The lid shall be so designed as to remain secure when the dustbin is tilted at an angle of 45°, without the assistance of attachments or clips. Where the lid enters or overlaps the bin body for which it is designed it shall have a minimum entry or overlap height of 30 mm, with a maximum radial clearance of 10 mm diametral.BS 3735 pdf download.
