United Nations Certified Fibcs

These bags are designed to handle products that the United Nations considers hazardous material.
The international transport of dangerous goods in Bulk Bags is regulated by a number of international codes based on the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (also known as the Orange Book). This divides bulk containers into 6 categories namely: metal, exible, rigid plastics, composite, breboard and wooden.

There are four types of FIBCs made from woven polypropylene for dangerous goods:

  1. 13 H 1 - Woven plastics without coating and without liner,
  2. 13 H 2 - Woven plastics, coated and without liner,
  3. 13 H 3 - Woven plastics, uncoated and with liner,
  4. 13 H 4 - Woven plastics, coated and with liner.

UN Bags are also classi ed according to the Hazard level of goods they carry. Each UN Bag shall carry the UN-Symbol mentioned in the below table which shall imply the hazard level of the product.
