What Does “UN-Rated” Mean?

A UN-rated IBC tote has passed a series of standardized tests defined by the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods. These tests confirm that the container can safely handle hazardous materials under real-world conditions such as transport, stacking, and long-term storage.

Each certified tote includes a UN marking code, which identifies:

This marking ensures full traceability and compliance with regulations across Canada, the United States, and international markets.
