Understanding UN marking – ensuring safe transport of hazardous goods

At Emballator, we want to make it easier for our customers to navigate the requirements around the safe transport of hazardous goods. One important part of this is UN marking – the system used worldwide to ensure that hazardous products are packaged and labelled correctly.

What is UN marking?

UN marking is a standard created by the United Nations to regulate the packaging of hazardous substances. It ensures that packaging provides the right level of protection during transport and includes clear information on how the goods should be handled. The aim is simple: reduce risks for people, the environment and property.

Why UN marking matters

Correct UN marking gives essential information about the contents, the level of hazard and any special handling requirements. It also ensures that packaging meets international rules. For companies transporting hazardous goods, proper UN marking is a necessary part of staying compliant and keeping transport safe.
