Industrial Sample Bottle Requirements
Leak-Proof Performance Standards
Leak-proof performance requirements for industrial sample bottles are governed by multiple standards and regulations depending on application and transportation requirements. For general laboratory use, sample bottles must maintain integrity during storage and handling without leakage that would compromise sample validity or create safety hazards. More stringent requirements apply to hazardous material containers that must meet UN packaging standards for safe transportation, including specific testing protocols for leak-proof performance under various conditions.
AiBiM injection blow molding machines produce sample bottles capable of meeting UN packaging standards including UN 3H1 classification for plastic containers used for solid hazardous materials and UN 3H2 for liquid hazardous materials.
