UN Certified Bulk Bags are manufactured specifically to pass UN certifications for transporting and storing hazardous materials with a rigorous testing regiment to ensure each bag can protect users from toxic contamination, chemical burns and corrosion, fire and explosion and environmental damage.
Available In: Asia, EMEA, North America, South America & Mexico
Our technical engineering staff are experts in FIBC design and in helping to define bag features best-suited to reinforce your FIBC to ensure it passes the rigorous testing required for UN Certification.
We design UN bulk bags to meet your specific needs. Regardless of what size bag you need to ship your dangerous goods, we can ensure it will still comply with all safety and quality regulations set forth by the United Nations.
For a bulk bag to be UN certified, it must be strong enough to ship dangerous goods internationally while keeping its contents, its handlers and the environment safe.
To comply with the United Nations strict safety regulations for transporting dangerous goods, UN bags must adhere to all identification and labeling requirements communicating contents, origin and more. We can help ensure your bag's compliance.
Certification documentation will provide the UN Certified Bag with a “Periodic Design Recertification Date” which is typically a year out from the certification date. The manufacturer and/or the supplier of the bag will keep up with these records to file for recertification. You may want to ask your vendor how they manage this process to ensure the currency of your bag's UN certifications.

UN Certified Bags Must Pass:
The United Nations and Department of Transportation require you to use special precautions if you transport hazardous materials (HAZMAT) aka dangerous goods. If your product falls into one of the UN’s nine Dangerous Goods classes, it must be packed and shipped in UN certified packaging. This is true regardless of your transportation method by land or sea or air.
Classes of Dangerous Goods:
Explosives
Gases
Flammable Liquids
Flammable Solids
Oxidizing Substances
Toxic & Infectious Substances
Radioactive Material

UN Certified Bulk Bags must communicate specific information to identify the contents of the bag, where the bag came from, who made it, what material the bag is made from, authorization for use, weight capacity and more. This helps ensure the safety of all handlers of the bag and its contents considering the level of hazard involved in transportation.

HACCP is a management system in which food safety is addressed through the analysis and control of biological, chemical, and physical hazards from raw material production, procurement and handling, to manufacturing, distribution and consumption of the finished product.
Such packaging is often referred to as “type-approved”, “UN Approved” or “UN certified” “POP” (performance oriented) and is marked in a particular way, prefixed by the UN Packaging symbol and followed by alpha numeric codes. It is not only important to select the correct UN approved packaging, but it is also important to use it as it was tested and carefully follow the closure information provided by the manufacturer.
