Stop

Before you purchase hazmat packaging for the transport of hazardous goods ensure you understand fully what your requirements are to meet the various transport regulations.  There are many conditions that may apply and persons involved in the transport of hazardous goods should receive training corresponding with their responsibilities.

If you do not have the appropriate assembly instructions applicable for the packaging stop and ask for them, if you assemble your packaging in a different was to the instructions you could invalidate the UN approval.
