A UN Rating is a series of codes certifying a container has passed D.O.T. testing for hazardous materials. If you are shipping regulated chemicals, a UN-rated drum or tote is mandatory. The filler is responsible for ensuring the rating matches the hazard class.

Compatibility depends on the chemical concentration and temperature. Always refer to your product's Safety Data Sheet (SDS) or a chemical resistance chart before filling. We recommend New FDA-compliant containers for food or pharmaceutical applications.
