Pakkausryhmät

Pakkausryhmät, a Finnish term, translates to "packaging groups" in English. This concept is fundamental in the logistics and transportation industries, particularly when dealing with the classification and handling of goods. Packaging groups are used to categorize different types of packaging materials and their suitability for transporting specific substances. The classification is often based on factors such as the strength of the packaging, its resistance to damage, and its ability to contain the contents securely during transit.

Different packaging groups may correspond to varying levels of protection required for the goods. For example, a packaging group might indicate that a certain type of container is only suitable for non-hazardous, robust items, while another group might be designated for highly sensitive or dangerous goods that require specialized and rigorously tested packaging. This system helps ensure that goods are transported safely and efficiently, minimizing the risk of spills, breakage, or environmental contamination. The specific criteria and designations for packaging groups can vary depending on the mode of transport (road, rail, sea, air) and international regulations.
