What are the requirements for dangerous goods packaging?

1, Classification of dangerous goods packaging
Dangerous goods packaging can be classified into different types based on its purpose and nature, mainly including:
Inner packaging: refers to containers directly used to contain dangerous goods, such as glass bottles, plastic bottles, metal cans, etc. The inner packaging must be able to withstand the corrosive, penetrating and other destructive effects of hazardous materials, and ensure that hazardous materials do not leak during transportation.
Middle packaging: used to combine multiple inner packaging units together to form a larger packaging unit for easy transportation and storage. The middle packaging should have sufficient strength and stability to protect the inner packaging from external impact and compression.
Outer packaging: Refers to containers or boxes used to further package the middle or inner packaging, such as wooden boxes, cardboard boxes, plastic boxes, etc. The outer packaging should have sufficient pressure resistance, impact resistance, and waterproof ability to ensure that dangerous goods are not affected by the external environment during transportation.
2, Basic requirements for dangerous goods packaging
Safety: The packaging of hazardous materials must ensure that they do not leak, explode, or create other hazards during transportation, storage, and use. Packaging materials should have good corrosion resistance, penetration resistance, and impact resistance.
Integrity: The packaging of hazardous materials should be intact and undamaged, without damage or leakage. The packaging container should be well sealed to prevent dangerous goods from coming into contact with the external environment.
Suitability: The packaging of hazardous materials should be suitable for the contained hazardous materials, meeting the nature, characteristics, and transportation requirements of the hazardous materials. Different types of hazardous materials should use different packaging materials and forms.
Environmental friendliness: Dangerous goods packaging should meet environmental requirements, and recyclable and biodegradable packaging materials should be used as much as possible to reduce the impact on the environment.
3, Special requirements for packaging of dangerous goods
Flammable liquids: Flammable liquids should be packaged with fire-resistant and anti-static materials, such as metal drums, plastic drums, etc. The packaging container should have good sealing and pressure resistance to prevent liquid leakage and volatilization.
Toxic substances: Toxic substances should be packaged with impermeable and leak proof materials, such as glass bottles, plastic bottles, etc. The packaging container should be labeled with a toxic label and equipped with corresponding safety accessories, such as leak emergency response tools.
Corrosive products: Corrosive products should use corrosion-resistant packaging materials, such as plastic drums, fiberglass drums, etc. The packaging container should have sufficient strength and stability to withstand the corrosive effects of corrosive products.
Explosives: Explosives should be packaged with explosion-proof and impact resistant materials, such as metal drums, wooden boxes, etc. The packaging container should be marked with explosive marks and equipped with corresponding safety accessories, such as shock pads, explosion-proof caps, etc.
4, Identification of dangerous goods packaging
The following information should be clearly and accurately marked on the packaging of dangerous goods:
Dangerous goods name and category: indicate the name and category of the dangerous goods for easy identification and classification.
Hazard warning signs: According to the nature and characteristics of hazardous materials, corresponding hazard warning signs such as flammable, explosive, toxic, corrosive, etc. shall be marked on the packaging.
Manufacturer and address: indicate the name and address of the manufacturer producing hazardous materials for easy traceability and communication.
Transportation precautions: indicate the precautions that hazardous materials should take during transportation, such as fire prevention, anti-static, waterproof, etc.
