UN-certified packaging is HazMat packaging, which has been designed, tested and certified to meet the requirements specified in UN dangerous goods transport regulations and enables the safe and reliable transportation of hazardous materials.

It ensures that dangerous goods are contained securely during transport, preventing leaks, spills, or any form of contamination.

Using certified packaging is legally required to avoid penalties and ensure the safe and efficient transport of all hazardous materials, protecting handlers, carriers, the public and the environment from potential harm.

When transporting hazardous materials mentioned on the ‘list of dangerous goods’, non-compliance with UN dangerous goods regulations is against the law. Failure to comply can lead to significant fines, shipment delays, prosecution and potential liability for damages caused by accidents.

Selecting the correct packaging depends on a number of factors, including the type, quantity, and class of dangerous goods you’re shipping.

Our team can help you through the process, ensuring your packaging choice is compliant with all relevant regulations.

For full compliance, all 9 dangerous goods classes, such as flammable liquids, toxic chemicals, corrosive substances, infectious diseases, and radioactive materials, must be packaged in certified, durable containers to prevent risks during transportation.

The 9 hazard classes of dangerous goods that require UN-certified hazmat packaging are as follows:

• Explosives (Class 1): substances that can cause explosions, such as fireworks and ammunition.
• Gas (Class 2): including flammable, non-flammable and toxic gases like propane and butane.
• Flammable liquids (Class 3): liquids that could be ignited easily in certain conditions, such as gasoline, ethanol and acetone.
• Flammable Solids (Class 4): substances that easily ignite, including matches and magnesium.
• Oxidizing Substances and Organic Peroxides (Class 5): materials that release oxygen, which can enhance fires.
• Toxic and Infectious Substances (Class 6): any substance that could or may cause severe harm or prove fatal, including poisons and pathogens, such as cyanide, monkeypox, coronavirus, ebola and medical waste.
• Radioactive Material (Class 7): includes any materials that emit radiation, such as uranium.
• Corrosives (Class 8): substances that can damage skin or metals, such as sulfuric acid, butyric acid and hydrochloric acid.
• Miscellaneous Dangerous Goods (Class 9): substances that pose hazards not covered in other classes. Examples of class 9 dangerous goods include (but aren’t limited to) asbestos, benzaldehyde, lithium-ion & metal batteries, dry ice, or other environmentally hazardous materials.
