Standard models are not automatically UN certified
Project-specific certification route
UN Packaging Certification Project Support
Essencia Pack can evaluate a UN packaging development and certification programme when the selected container, closure, filled product and transport route require it.
Selection logic
Define the complete packaging system before testing
- Confirm the filled product and dangerous-goods classification
- Select the container, closure, liner and outer packaging
- Identify target market and transport mode
- Agree the test programme, documentation, timing and fees
- Test the complete approved configuration
Important boundaries
Confirm suitability before commercial use
Certification does not transfer between unapproved closures or pack configurations
Testing scope, timing and fees are confirmed per project
Existing mould candidates

Frequently asked questions
Are all Essencia containers UN certified?
No. UN certification is not implied for standard models. It is evaluated for a defined container, closure, filled product, test level and transport requirement.
Can an existing mould be used for a UN packaging project?
Potentially. The model and closure must first be reviewed against the intended test programme. Existing mould status alone does not establish certification.
What information is needed to scope certification?
Provide the product classification, density, packaging group where applicable, fill volume, closure, destination markets, transport modes and expected order programme.
Are certification costs included in a standard container price?
No. Laboratory testing, documentation and certification work are normally scoped and charged separately.
