Definition of dangerous goods FIBCs

Types of UN bags

There are four types of FIBCs for dangerous goods made from woven plastics:

13 H 2	-	woven plastics, coated and without liner
13 H 3	-	woven plastics, uncoated and with liner
13 H 4	-	woven plastics, coated and with liner

If the certificate shall cover more than one of these types (differing only in the presence or absense of coating or liner) please ask for special requirements.
