UN Certified Packaging Solutions

Dangerous Goods is a designation for substances and products that have such dangerous characteristics that they can cause harm to humans, animals, environment or property if they are not handled correctly during transport or storage. Lithium Batteries are classified as Dangerous Goods, Class 9 by the United Nations.

The basic purpose for dangerous goods packaging is to fully contain the dangerous goods, even if the box is being put under great stress.

Nefab can provide both existing solutions that are already certified for packing lithium batteries, as well as new solutions that we design, test and validate according to your specific needs. We have the engineering capability and knowledge to provide complete, multi-material packaging solutions for all statuses and flows. This allows us to be a reliable partner for your packaging needs, from the outer packaging itself to every accessory in between, such as absorbents, labels and tapes.

Regulation Expertise, Secure Compliance

Reduce lead time with Pre-approved Packaging
Nefab has a multitude of certificates for Lithium Batteries, covering over 700 different boxes. In order to reduce lead time and costs, it can be beneficial to use a pre-approved solution. To determine if our approved solutions can be used with your product, we will first investigate the status and method of transportation. Then, we will calculate the gross weight of the shipment and see if we have an approved dangerous goods certificate that matches your product.

Creating New Packaging
Due to the stringent requirements stipulated by the UN, the developed solution must go through a type approval test before it can be used to ship these goods. International agreements for the carriage of Lithium Batteries require packaging to be of a design-type, certified by a national competent authority. This involves testing the packaging with the appropriate UN specifications to ensure its suitability for the carriage. Our engineers have the skillset and experience to take new Lithium Batteries packaging through this process.

Solutions for all Applications and Statuses

With Nefab's worldwide engineering resources, capabilities and experience, we can provide you with complete packaging solutions for all applications. However, the solution itself will depend on the status of your batteries.
