Ordinary FIBCs, while suitable for storing and transporting a wide variety of commodities, fall short when it comes to hazardous materials. These require stronger, more secure packaging, especially for long-distance transportation. UN-certified bulk bags are the answer. These heavy-duty bags are essential for the shipping and industrial sectors, and HPBL bulk bag manufacturers must meet stringent UN testing and packaging industry standards to produce them.
Understanding UN Certification
UN-approved bulk bags are crucial for situations where regular FIBCs don’t comply with international regulations and safety norms. This typically involves the storage and transportation of hazardous materials like chemicals, combustible powders, or toxic substances. UN certification is the only way to ensure these harmful commodities are packaged safely. FIBC certification bodies conduct rigorous testing to verify that bulk bags meet strict UN performance and quality requirements. This goes beyond functionality; UN-approved FIBCs must also be clearly labeled and identified.
UN certification goes beyond ensuring bag quality. It minimizes risks to people handling the bags and protects the environment. Unlike ordinary FIBCs, UN-approved bags undergo stringent testing and are manufactured to a higher standard. Only those FIBCs that meet these rigorous requirements can be classified as UN-approved.
Advantages of HPBL’s UN-Certified Bulk Bags
UN bulk bags from HPBL offer the same versatility as regular FIBCs, but with the added benefit of safe handling for hazardous materials. Their superior design and rigorous testing make them ideal for storing and transporting chemicals, industrial waste, and other hazardous materials. This makes them perfect for the pharmaceutical industry as well.Safety and compliance are paramount concerns. Even if some countries lack strict regulations on container safety, UN certification benefits everyone. By choosing premium UN-certified bags from HPBL, you have peace of mind knowing you’re protecting the public, your workers, and the environment.
For international transportation of hazardous materials, UN-approved FIBC bulk bags are the recommended option. Using HPBL’s UN-certified FIBCs guarantees ongoing adherence to international regulations during cross-border shipping. UN bulk bags from HPBL are not just ideal for transporting volatile products over long distances; they’re also suitable for secure storage.
UN Packaging Testing: Ensuring Safety
The testing criteria are understandably strict, and bags must pass every category to be approved for use. Typically, certification bodies begin with a test known as the “top lift.” This test assesses the FIBC bag’s load-bearing capacity. Bags are first filled to capacity and then subjected to additional pressure using hydraulic force. In simpler terms, the bag is significantly overfilled compared to its rated load. If the bag can hold its shape for five minutes without breaking, it passes the top lift test.
