Assuring Safe and Compliant Transport of Dangerous Cargo
The movement of hazardous materials—chemicals, gases, and flammable liquids—is governed by rigorous international codes to prevent spills, explosions, and environmental harm. Compliance with ADR and IMDG conventions is mandatory for every shipper and carrier engaged in this trade.
BQCIS provides verification for ISO tank containers used in global transport of liquids and gases. Our inspections cover pressure and leak testing, weld integrity NDT, and safety-valve calibration to guarantee containment and emergency relief performance under load.
We also audit dangerous-goods classification, documentation, labeling, and placarding, ensuring conformity across multimodal operations (sea, road, air). Independent verification safeguards people, assets, and the environment—keeping hazardous cargo compliant and traceable worldwide.
Key Verification Activities
Key Benefits of Hazardous-Goods Verification
Regulatory Assurance
Ensures total compliance with ADR, IMDG, and IATA codes, protecting operators from penalties and shipment delays.
Enhanced Safety
Detects early wear, corrosion, or valve malfunction—preventing potential leaks, explosions, and containment failures.
Global Acceptance
Our third-party reports are recognized by shipping lines, leasing firms, and insurers across international transport corridors.
Risk Mitigation
Minimizes accident, pollution, and liability exposure through proactive testing and certified safety verification.
Success Story
Tank-Fleet Audit Prevents Critical Valve Failure
A leasing firm required ADR / IMDG recertification of 200 ISO tanks carrying corrosive chemicals. Several units had aged pressure-relief valves prone to corrosion and uncertain calibration history.
BQCIS executed visual, ultrasonic, and hydrostatic testing, plus full PRV calibration and burst-disc verification. Defective valves (15 % of fleet) were isolated, replaced, and retested before compliance marking.
Verified containment integrity and fully compliant certification prevented potential over-pressure incidents, protecting both cargo and personnel safety across multimodal routes.
