This document is available for immediate viewing via download. This booklet summarizes the manufacturing achievements and experiences of Nitto Metal Industry Co., Ltd. We hope it serves as a reference when transporting hazardous materials or purchasing hazardous material containers. Here, we will explain the steel drums (metal containers) among the hazardous material containers (small containers) recommended by the United Nations. The content of this explanation adheres to the "Regulations on the Maritime Transport and Storage of Hazardous Materials" (Ministry of Transport Ordinance No. 30 of 1957, hereinafter referred to as "Hazardous Regulations"). When transporting containers containing hazardous materials by ship or exporting them abroad, containers marked with the UN mark based on UN recommendations are required. Containers with the UN mark are generally applicable to all modes of transportation, including maritime, air, and land. However, when transporting hazardous materials by air or land (by vehicle or railway) other than maritime transport, it is necessary to consider whether they comply with domestic regulations in Japan (such as the Aviation Act and Fire Service Act) and the regulations regarding the transport of hazardous materials in the destination country.
