UN quality mark for hazardous substances
If you are going to store or transport hazardous (liquid) substances, the means of storage, or packaging, requires a UN quality mark. This quality mark confirms the packaging is suitable for the transport of these hazardous substances. The quality mark is issued by an independent inspection body.
Hazardous substances are divided into three groups: Group 1 is made up of the highly hazardous substances, and Group 3 is made up of the least hazardous substances. There are certain requirements for the transport of these goods, depending on the class of the substance. Kruizinga has both jerry cans and barrels with the required UN quality mark. This means you can be sure you have the right products for the storage and transport of your substances.
Solid and liquid substances
A number of our products are more or less suitable for a certain type of substance. The plastic barrels with screw lids are very suitable for solids such as animal feed or food ingredients. On the other hand, they are not suitable for hazardous liquids because they have only been tested for use with solids. Steel barrels or plastic barrels with a clamping ring are suitable for (hazardous) liquids, such as fuel or chemicals. These have an extra safe closing system and are approved for the storage and transportation of hazardous substances.
