Fibreboard box UN 4G/4GV, PG353/PGV353

UN 4G and 4GV certified box. This double certification allows, according to the different inner packaging to be shipped, to choose the suitable certification (4G or 4GV).

A fibreboard 4G box, referred to in regulations as “UN-certified 4G fibreboard box”, is a specific type of fibreboard UN-certified outer packaging containing one or more specific inner packaging(s). In order to respect their certification validity, UN-certified 4GV boxes must be used only together with the specific inner packaging and content they were tested with and approved by the certifying body. This specific inner packaging will be the same mentioned in the test report. Furthermore, maximum gross weight and closing instructions defined in the test report must be observed, too (dimension of adhesive tape, type of adhesive tape and closing system). Any unauthorized change would invalidate the certification. To check details of UN certification you can read the “Technical details” of 4G box or the test report of the UN-certified 4G packaging.

Concerning “different perfumery products for personal care”, this 4G box has been tested with different glass bottles with a specific spray trigger put inside their case. This type of inner packaging contains perfumery products for personal care (alcohol-based perfumes for personal care). No additional packaging made of corrugated or flat cardboard is not required (grouping box). 

This box has also been UN-certified for “Different perfumery products for ambient”, also classified as UN1266. The box has been tested with glass bottles of different dimensions and shapes put inside their case and containing ambient fragrances. In this case, no additional packaging made of corrugated or flat cardboard is either required (grouping box). We performed special tests that allowed us to UN-certify, together with the certifying body, different types of packaging for the shipping of various perfumery products for personal care and ambient fragrances.
