Standard Guide for Conducting Internal Pressure Tests on United Nations (UN) Packagings

Importancia y uso:

4.1 Dangerous goods (hazardous materials) regulations require performance tests to be conducted on packaging designs before being authorized for use. The regulations do not include standardized procedures for conducting performance tests and, because of this, may result in a non-uniform approach and differences in test results between testing facilities.

4.2 The purpose of this guide is to provide guidance and to establish a set of common practices for conducting internal pressure tests on packagings subjected to UN certification testing or packagings required to meet pressure capability requirements.

4.3 This guide provides additional information not in the regulations that will facilitate consistent testing. The information and guidance provided here are intended to meet or exceed the minimum regulatory requirements. For more information on the UN certification requirements, refer to Guide D4919. For pressure testing of IBC design types, reference Guide D8134.
