Transportation and packaging of dangerous goods are subject to a special regime, its principles are exhaustively determined by UNECE regulations.
Every manufacturer or consignor must follow them, being responsible for proper shipment packaging and labeling according to global standards.
The reason for implementation and compliance to the regulations is the fact that the properties of dangerous substances and products (flammability,
explosiveness and corrosiveness, for instance) endanger the safety of persons, property and the environment during transportation. Manufacturers of dangerous goods must select or design containers properly in order to ensure safe transport while taking into account their effectivity and suitability.
