UN‑certified packaging made simple
Moving hazardous goods across borders and transport modes can feel complex. At Emballator, we work to make it straightforward. Our UN‑certified packaging is designed to keep your products safe, secure and fully compliant every step of the way.
Understanding UN certification
UN certification is a global system created by the United Nations to ensure that hazardous goods can be transported safely by road, rail, sea and air. To earn this approval, packaging must pass a series of demanding tests and meet strict international requirements. When a product carries a UN mark, it signals that the packaging has been verified for safe use with specific types of hazardous goods.
Why UN certified packaging matters
If your products fall under hazardous goods regulations, UN certified packaging isn’t optional – it’s essential. It helps prevent leaks, spills and damage during transport, reduces risk for people and the environment, and supports full regulatory compliance. Choosing the right packaging keeps your goods secure and your supply chain running smoothly.
How hazardous goods are classified
Hazardous goods are grouped into nine classes, based on the type of risk they present – for example, flammable liquids or corrosive substances. Each class is then divided into packaging groups:
- Group I (X) – highest hazard
- Group II (Y) – medium hazard
- Group III (Z) – lower hazard
Knowing your product’s classification makes it easier to select the correct packaging and ensures safe handling throughout its journey.
Tested for real world conditions
To meet UN requirements, our packaging is tested to withstand the pressures and impacts of transport. This includes:
- Drop tests to check that the packaging remains intact after impacts.
- Pressure tests to ensure it can handle internal pressure from the contents.
- Tightness tests to confirm there are no leaks.
- Stacking tests to verify stability and strength when pallets are loaded.
These tests reflect the challenges packaging faces in everyday logistics, helping ensure reliability in real conditions.
Ongoing quality and assurance
Certification isn’t a one time event. Our packaging is regularly audited and tested by independent certification bodies to confirm continued compliance. This ongoing monitoring helps us maintain consistent quality and gives you confidence that every batch meets the same high standard.
