Due to the nature of its contents and its associated risks, clinical waste is classified as dangerous goods. This means there is high regulation around how the waste is stored, transported and disposed of. This primarily applies to infectious, chemically-contaminated clinical waste and cytotoxic waste. Bags storing this waste must be tested and approved in accordance with UN regulation to maintain the highest and safest quality.

Clinical waste bags must be able to safely withstand a certain amount of weight for safe carriage and transportation. Our ADR compliant bags have a corresponding UN approved weight limit to indicate maximum approved capacity of the product. This is obtained by putting forward the product for a UN packaging test. This testing assesses the integrity of the product, and if compliant, is approved. 

On clinical waste bags that require this approval, the UN number will be printed across the body of the bag to easily identify ADR compliance.
