In dangerous goods packaging, the code “4GV” refers to a specific type of packaging authorised for shipping dangerous goods. The meaning of each character is as follows:
- 4: Represents the type of packaging, which in this case is a “box.”
- G: Indicates that the material of the packaging is fibreboard.
- V: Denotes that the packaging is a variation packaging, meaning it is a special type of design that allows for different types of inner packagings (e.g., bottles, cans) to be used within the same outer package, as long as the overall package is tested and certified to meet the required standards.
The “V” dangerous goods packaging allows for flexibility in the inner packaging, and it is crucial because the box’s design has been tested to ensure it meets specific performance standards, regardless of the exact contents.
ORP DG PRO’s 4GV dangerous goods packaging is used for shipments that contain a variety of types of dangerous goods in inner packagings, which can contain solids or liquids.
