Did you know ?

In many industrial companies, residues and empty, uncleaned packaging, which are shipped as waste, have the right waste code but rarely the right transport classification.

And yet, vigilance is required because this classification determines the shipping and transport procedures: training, packaging, identification, exemption, documentation. Incorrect classification or identification of hazardous materials can lead to costly violations.


Our history

40 years at your service

Since 1977, many companies have trusted us to test their packaging for the transport of dangerous goods. In our laboratory, our experts carry out regulatory tests and issue approvals that certify the packaging. We are constantly involved in providing you with a quality service, in the shortest possible time, while maintaining constant transparency. Our expertise also enables us to offer you a wide range of tests (regulatory, normative or according to specifications) in the field of hollow bodies.

The approval as a training organization obtained in 1998 also allows our teams to offer you a training service for the transport of dangerous goods. Thus, we have been training drivers of vehicles transporting dangerous goods by road for over 20 years. Our expertise having increased, the company has also been training air and sea carriers for several years. These courses aim at guiding you in the control of risks related to dangerous goods in order to make the working conditions safer and more sustainable.
