1. We rigorously test our UN rated FIBC bags

Each UN Bulk Bags, manufactured by K-Packing, must be tested according to the following United Nations standards:

• Top Lift Test: The FIBC bag is filled with material to its Safe Working Load (SWL) and then hung up using the lifting straps. UN Certified from K-Packing meets UN standards including: the bag maintains a load equal to six times its safe working load (6:01) for five minutes. 
• Vibration Testing: To test the vibration of a UN certified FIBC bag, the bag is placed on a vibrating platform and subjected to a 60-minute vibration test. After 60 minutes, K-Packing’s UN bags are not torn and there is no leakage of goods. 
• Stack Testing: 2 UN FIBC bags are filled to the SWL (6:01) and placed stacked on top of each other. The bag below can withstand 24 hours without damage to the bag and the goods inside. 
• Drop testing: The bags are filled with material and dropped from 3 specific heights according to the packaging group. During this process, the UN certified bag does not lose its contents. 
• Topple Testing: Bags are tipped from a specific height based on the packing group. As a result, no product falls out. 
• Tear Testing: The bag is punctured with a knife at a 45° angle. Part 1 of the test is a uniform top load to the maximum allowable safe working load. The bag must be left in place for at least 5 minutes. Part two of the test requires the bag to maintain its integrity through a 45° cut when suspended for 5 minutes. The cut should not extend more than 25% of its original length. 
• Righting Testing: The bag is lifted to a vertical position from its side. The condition is that the bag is not damaged or torn.
