UN FIBCs
Reliable Transport for Dangerous Goods
The transport of dangerous goods is regulated in order to prevent injury to people, harm to the environment and material damages. Ünsa has trained staff and advanced technical equipment to design and produce quality UN FIBCs according to international regulations for transport by sea, rail and road. Technicians of the Ünsa team are externally trained in the procedures and regulations regarding transportation of dangerous goods.
The Ünsa UN test laboratory is accredited according to ISO 17025 Standard. UN FIBCs are tested with Safe Working Loads (SWL) ranging from 500 kg to 2.000 kg.
