Why Use UN-Approved Chemical Packaging?
Chemicals can present serious risks if packaged incorrectly. Using certified, UN-approved chemical packaging helps to prevent:
- Chemical leaks and spills during handling or transport
- Exposure risks to handlers, operators and end users
- Environmental contamination and cleanup costs
- Packaging failure caused by impact, pressure or stacking
- Regulatory violations, delays and financial penalties
UN-approved chemical packaging is rigorously tested to ensure it meets the performance standards set out in UN Dangerous Goods Regulations. Tests include drop tests, stack tests and pressure tests. This testing ensures containers can withstand the stresses of real-world transportation conditions, helping to maintain safety and compliance from dispatch through to final delivery.

Choosing Chemical Packaging
Selecting the correct chemical packaging is essential for safety, compliance and operational efficiency. Before choosing packaging, consider the following:
- What chemical are you shipping? Always refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS)
- What is the mode of transport? DOT, IMDG or IATA regulations may differ for each mode
- Which packaging is permitted? Check the relevant Packing Instruction for approved packaging types and quantity limits
- Are there any special provisions? Some materials have additional requirements
- Do Limited Quantity or Excepted Quantity rules apply? Alternative packaging may be permitted
- Is the packaging compatible with the chemical? Material compatibility must always be confirmed by the shipper
- Taking the time to select the right packaging helps avoid compliance issues, reduces risk and keeps your shipments moving without disruption.
