Quality is not a cost factor; it’s a guarantee of a good product. Packaging that does not meet the physical or chemical requirements of the product to be transported jeopardizes the quality of the product. Furthermore, unsuitable or low-quality packaging represents a health and environmental hazard in traffic.

We are accredited by the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM) as a test center (per Article 6, para. 2, no. 8 of the Dangerous Goods Regulations for Road and Rail (GGVSE)) for the type testing of packaging for the transportation of dangerous goods according to R002. We perform the following tests on your behalf:

• Type testing of packaging types
  1A, 1B, 1D, 1G, 1H, 3A, 3H, 4A, 4B, 4C, 4D, 4G, 4H, 5H, 5L, 5M, 6H and 6P up to a gross mass of 260 kg
• Quality assurance (QA) testing, sample testing and bid reviews
  • Steel and plastic barrels (cover, bung)
  • Canisters
  • Wooden and plastic pallets
  • Combination IBCs (C-IBC)
  • Flexible IBCs (F-IBC, Big Bags) per EFIBCA
  • Packaging made of paper, cardboard and corrugated cardboard (folding crates, octatainers, sacks)
• Testing the chemical resistance of packaging (plastics and metals)
• Practice-relevant transport tests
• Damage analysis of packaging

The tests are performed in our lab by experienced testers. We provide fast, competent and cost-effective assistance. We provide advice on test planning and work with you to define a test plan oriented towards your problem. We help you to establish the foundation for your packaging specifications and assist you with quality assurance inspections according to your specifications.
