The Importance of UN-Certified FIBC Bags for
Hazardous Material Handling
If you are using standard FIBC bags to store and
transport a wide range of hazardous materials, it
is not a solution. If any hazardous goods need to
be transported from a long distance with care, it
is essential to use UN-Certified FIBC bags to
keep the goods secure and safe. FIBC (Flexible
Intermediate Bulk Containers) bags go through an
extensive certification and testing procedure to
ensure the safety rules as per ISO 21898 are
followed. Thus, if you are looking to pack your
hazardous goods, get the UN-certified FIBC
bags. In this article, well explore the testing
procedure and benefits of these certifications
offered to industries involved in shipping.

What Are UN-Certified FIBC Bags?
For secure transportation of hazardous goods,
packaging materials including FIBC bags
comply with strict rules, a widely accepted
system known as the UN certification. Moreover,
there are various UN-certified FIBC bags
available. You may choose coated and uncoated
FIBCs, as well as stress-bearing bags and more.

Procedure Of Testing The UN-Certified Bulk Bag

• Rigorous tests are performed on bulk bags to be
  certified by the UN. Before the UN declares a bag
  to be certified, it goes through several testing
  methods which include
• Top Lift
• Stacking Test
• Drop Test
• Topple Test
• Righting Test
• Tear Test
• Vibration Test

• Drop Test
• UN-Certified FIBC bags are put through a fall
  test to imitate the effects of a drop during
  handling or transit. The test ensures that the
  bag will not break down in the case of an
  unintentional drop when it is full to its maximum
  intended weight. However, this test is foremost
  for ensuring that hazardous goods are safe and
  secure while stored or handled.

2. Topple Test In this test, the stability of the
bag on its side is evaluated to make sure it can
stay intact and not lose its content, no matter
if it is tilted. The best UN-certified bag
manufacturer in India offers quality FIBC bags
that dont collapse or lose their content.

3. Top Load Test What would happen if, when
handling the packing supplies, the items loading
capacity unexpectedly exceeded the limit? Now,
the goods are at risk. Thus, this test evaluates
the FIBC bags lifting point and its ability to
withstand stress to safeguard your belongings.
This test is also carried out in order to
determine the bag limit during loading and
unloading.

4. Righting Test The FIBC is filled to maximum
SWL capacity and knocked onto its side. The bulk
bag is then righted into the proper position by
only two lift loops. The bag and loops should not
show any sign of damage once righted. In this
test, the FIBC Bag is filled to its capacity
laid down on one side. It is then lifted by 2
loops only and righted in the correct position.
The bag should not show any sign of leakage or
damage. This test is crucial for moving hazardous
goods that could endanger peoples safety or the
environment. UN-certified FIBC bags are
constructed in a way that they comply with all
the tests. Hence, becoming an ideal choice for
handling, storing, and transporting hazardous
goods.

5. Stacking Test To ensure that FIBC bags can
sustain their structural integrity when put on
top of adjacent substances, a stacking test needs
to be applied. This test evaluates how well a bag
can withstand the stresses placed on it while
being transported and stored.
6. Tearing Test The bags are put under the
tearing test to know a bags ability to resist
tearing. This test ensures that the bag can
handle the difficulties presented by sharp items
during transit.
