UN Big Bag
|
The UN issued recommendations on the transportation of dangerous goods. These define how strong an Big Bag for dangerous goods must be and set the standards how it has to be tested. The most European countries agreed to the European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR) which adopts the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods. |

UN bag types
We supply UN bags for dangerous materials in various specifications. Compared to standard FIBC, UN big bags are extra strong constructed in order to prevent leakage of the dangerous materials even when the big bag is in a stressed situation. Every UN bag design is tested by an independent test house. The ADR certificates will be handed over to buyers.
