Things Every Buyer of UN Certified FIBC Bags Should Remember

 


When transporting substances or materials which are hazardous or toxic in nature you need to use storage containers that are strong and that will not lead to spillage or cause environmental disasters. The best-suited packaging material for this is UN-rated bulk bags which are FIBCs that are specially designed for such products and have a durability that is much higher than regular bulk bags.

If you’re planning to purchase UN Certified FIBC, here are some points to remember.


UN Testing Procedures

UN – approved bulk bags undergo a very intense testing procedure and must have a safety factor of 6:1. Top Lift test ensures that the UN bulk bag holds six times the safe working load. The Drop test is considered to be the most difficult test, in which the bag is dropped from a considerable height. In the Righting test, the UN FIBC bag is lifted up by one or two of its loops as it’s laying on the ground. For the Tear test, the bag is cut at a 45-degree angle and then lifted and compressed.

Know Your Dangerous Goods

When working with an UN-certified bags manufacturer, you should classify the type of product for packing and transporting. Additionally, mark the requirement for your fill material according to the destination country and the type of transportation.

UN Packing Groups

The UN-approved FIBC Bags are categorized based upon the nature of the products they contain and the level of danger.

UN rated bulk bags are grouped in separate Packing Groups I, II or III with an assigned UN Symbol X, Y, or Z. Group I has the highest degree of danger, Group II – medium, and Group III is low.

Changes to Manufacturing Vendor or Design Require a New Certification

If you use the same UN-certified bulk bags but have it manufactured by different UN-approved packaging suppliers, you will be required to get the bags certified by each UN-certified bag supplier independently. You can use the same FIBC for another product as long as it comes under the packaging group for the danger rating.
