IIP Certificate, also known as the UN certificate, is required under the common regulations for the transportation of Hazardous products either by Sea, Air, or Road for the United Nations member countries. In India, it is issued by the Indian Institute of Packaging, an autonomous body set up under the aegis of the Ministry of Commerce & Industry that has been authorized as a nodal agency to conduct the various performance tests & issue the UN Certificate. A large number of Industries across the country require the free flow of transportation of dangerous products internationally.
UN certificate is a mandatory certification for packages that fall under the Hazardous & dangerous category by Sea or Air from India. The Packaging certified for utilization of DG shall be examined by the shippers before these are used. The certified Packaging shall have a UN Mark as indicated in the certificate to ensure that only certified packages are being loaded. It is a goods category-wise certificate valid for a limited period (max 18 months), Subject to fulfillment of certain conditions.
The certificate is only issued to the Packaging Manufacturer of the hazardous & dangerous goods, not the exporter of the goods. The packaging manufacturer must make separate applications for Sea & Air carriers.
