Storage and
Transport.
ZARGES manufactures UN-approved aluminum cases. They are approved as composite packaging (Code UN 4B, 4BU, 4BV, 4BW, 50B) and are available with UN certification for the transport of hazardous materials.
The U.S. Department of Transportation enforces every hazmat transportation law in the United States, and its rules apply to everyone in the chain: whoever fills, marks and labels a package, prepares the shipping papers, or loads and secures it in a vehicle, container or cargo hold.
Guide: protecting sensitive equipment in transport
Clean, Sealed,
Sterilizable.
The smooth, non-porous surface of aluminum can be sanitized easily and repeatedly, and the aluminum withstands −238°F to +302°F without damage or deformation, allowing high-temperature decontamination. Aluminum absorbs impact energy without cracking or rupturing, protecting the contents.
UN Certification in Four Steps.
Available for the K470, K475, K424 XC and K410. ZARGES Inc. tests each case at our Charlotte facility for a fee of $75.
Verify
Each case is confirmed as an authentic ZARGES product and the model ordered.
Inspect
Ultrasonic inspection checks the wall thickness is within tolerance at every measuring point.
Label
Once the case passes, it is labeled with its UN certification marking.
Deliver
The case ships with the applicable documentation.
Measured, Not
Assumed.
Wall thickness is checked at thirteen set measuring points, marked below. ZARGES also provides regulatory guidance, hazard classification, and interior and exterior packaging recommendations.
