The Ultimate Guide to Multiple UN Codes & UN Specification Packaging
When it comes to transporting hazardous materials, choosing the right packaging is extremely important. If you choose the wrong packaging, it can lead to a hazmat incident, which can put the safety and well-being of people at risk and harm the environment as well. Under the law, UN specification packaging is required for shipping dangerous goods by ground, air, or vessel unless exceptions are applied such as the Limited Quantity Exception. The packaging you choose must have passed all the necessary tests and must be strong and durable enough to withstand the shocks, stresses, and pressure changes throughout the course of the transportation otherwise know as normal condition of transport.
Packaging can be classified as UN-approved packaging only if it passes the following tests, which are designed to test its strength and durability. These include:
  • Hydrostatic test
  • Leak proof test
  • Stack compression test
  • Vibration test
  • Drop test

UN Ratings were developed by the United Nations Sub-committee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (TDG Sub-Committee) for the purpose of harmonizing and streamlining domestic as well as international hazmat regulations. These are international standards that can be followed by domestic as well as international hazmat shippers.
