What is UN packaging?

Hazardous goods in liquid or solid form must be carried in a UN-approved packaging. International agreements on the transport of hazardous goods assess whether the type and suitability of the packaging must be certified by the state. In Germany, corresponding approvals are carried out exclusively by the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM). Depending on the certification, the packaging must undergo a wide variety of tests. After successful testing, the dangerous goods packaging receives the UN approval number with an approval certificate. The legal shelf life of UN packaging is five years from the date of production. After that, the hazardous goods packaging may no longer be used.
