UN Packaging Requirements

Impact Solutions is accredited by the VCA Dangerous Goods Office to provide testing within the UN packaging requirements.  The VCA is the UK competent authority, regulating containers and packaging for the carriage of dangerous goods.

Our facility allows us to test a wide range of packages, including fibreboard, metallic, and plastic containers, as well as bags and sacks.  We are the only UK laboratory certified to test the full range of model liquids, in line with the current UN packaging requirements.

Our team has years of experience in the design of packages, and the likely causes of failure and can help walk you through the process to ensure your packaging stays legal.  We can work with UK and international companies in order to help you obtain your UN marking.

UN Dangerous Goods testing includes the following tests:

  1. Drop impact from 9m
  2. Stack tests
  3. Air Leakage
  4. Hydraulic
