Can I Use A Non-UN Pail for Hazardous Materials?
If hazardous material regulations require UN-rated packaging, a non-UN pail should not be used. Always verify the requirements for your specific material and transportation application before selecting a pail.
If your product is classified as a hazardous material and applicable transportation regulations require UN-rated packaging, a non-UN-rated pail should NOT be used.
The required packaging depends on factors such as the material being transported, its hazard classification, packaging group, fill weight or specific gravity, and mode of transportation. Even when a pail is available in a UN-rated version, the exact pail, lid, and closure configuration must meet the requirements for the specific application.
Always verify the applicable packaging and transportation requirements before shipping hazardous materials. If you need help identifying an M&M Industries pail available in a UN-rated configuration, our team can help you evaluate your packaging options.
