Legal Requirement
- UN coded packaging is mandatory at customs clearances
- Controlled at ports
- Valid across all transport modes
What UN Certification Proves
UN tested big bags guarantee these properties:
- Withstands drop testing from specified heights
- Has sufficient lifting strength
- Maintains integrity under stacking loads
- Resistant to tearing and punctures
UN Codes
13H3 — Without Liner
Woven PP big bag without liner or without integrated liner.
- Suitable: Dry, powder-form dangerous goods
- Use: Products with low moisture sensitivity
13H4 — With Liner
Woven PP big bag with integrated liner.
- Liner is fixed to the big bag
- Suitable: Hygroscopic or soluble dangerous goods
- Use: Products requiring liquid impermeability
Packing Group Classes
UN big bags can be used for Packing Group II and III.
| Packing Group | Hazard Level | Drop Test | Example Materials |
|---|---|---|---|
| PG II | Medium | 1.8 m | Some corrosives, toxic materials |
| PG III | Low | 1.2 m | Irritants, environmentally hazardous |
Note: Packing Group I (high hazard) materials cannot be transported in FIBCs.

Frequently Asked Questions
About UN Certified Big Bag
UN (United Nations) certified big bag is a tested and approved FIBC for international transport of dangerous goods. It's documented with UN code 13H3 (without liner) or 13H4 (with liner). Provides compliance with ADR (road), RID (rail), IMDG (sea), and IATA (air) regulations.
Packing Group defines the hazard level of dangerous goods. PG II applies to medium hazard materials (drop test: 1.8m height), PG III applies to low hazard materials (drop test: 1.2m height). PG I is the most hazardous class and cannot be transported in FIBCs. The PG class of the material to be transported is critical for proper big bag selection.
For UN certification, BAM (Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung) or an accredited laboratory performs: drop test, top lift test, stacking test, tear test, and righting test. Big bags passing all tests successfully receive a UN approval code.
13H3: UN big bag code without liner or without integrated liner. 13H4: UN big bag code with integrated liner (liner fixed to big bag). 13H4 is preferred for dangerous goods with liquid permeability or product contamination risk. Selection depends on material properties and legal requirements.
UN certified big bags are generally classified as single-use; however, some products can be tested and approved as reusable (SF 6:1). For reuse, the big bag must not have sustained any damage, UN markings must remain legible, and it must be used for the same or compatible dangerous goods.
