What is metal drum certification?

UN approval is an international certification system for the shipment of dangerous goods. The system aims to ensure that packaging, containers and other equipment used to transport goods meet strict safety standards. This designation ensures that drums are capable of containing substances safely, thereby protecting people, the environment and material assets.

We offer several UN-certified drums:

- Ref : FUT-009-3

Storage and transport of metal drums

Storing and transporting metal drums requires particular attention to regulatory and safety aspects. It is crucial to stack them at a safe height to avoid the risk of them falling.

During transport, in compliance with ADR regulations (European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road), drums must be properly secured to prevent them from shifting or tipping over. In addition, a storage tank may require UN approval (solid or liquid) for the transport of hazardous materials.
