From the PPWR to ADR regulations for lithium-ion batteries: laws and regulations are imposing increasingly strict requirements on industrial packaging. Find out what this means for your packaging and how you can stay compliant.
Procuring defence packaging involves strict requirements for standards, certification, testing and documentation. The correct declarations, test reports and technical documents demonstrate that packaging and transport meet the required criteria. A complete and well-managed documentation file helps prevent delays and supports a smooth procurement and approval process.
Ground transport places specific demands on military packaging. MIL-STD standards guide protection, testing and certification. This keeps equipment protected against shock and vibration in transit.
Each transport mode places different demands on military packaging. NATO standards guide protection, material choice and certification. This keeps equipment protected during air, sea and road transport.
Military electronics require protection in line with the right MIL-STD standards. MIL-STD-2073, MIL-STD-810 and MIL-STD-129 guide packaging, testing and marking. Faes translates these requirements into a suitable packaging solution.
Defence packaging must protect equipment in demanding conditions. Faes translates standards and certification requirements into a custom solution. This keeps mission-critical equipment protected during transport, storage and deployment.
MIL-STD packaging requires proven protection in demanding conditions. Faes translates the requirements into a tested and documented custom solution. This keeps mission-critical equipment protected during transport and storage.
Defence procurement requires packaging that goes beyond standard industrial solutions and demonstrably meets MIL-STD requirements. By translating requirements for protection, preservation, marking, documentation and materials into the packaging early, Faes helps prevent non-compliance. The result is protected defence materiel during transport, storage and handling, with control over quality and risk.
NATO-compliant military packaging requires complete documentation, traceability and use of the correct standards. By recording packaging specifications, test results and traceability data systematically, compliance becomes verifiable. This helps prevent documentation errors and shows whether the packaging and supplier meet the required standards.
NATO-compliant packaging starts with the right set of standards and technical requirements. Translating these requirements into a packaging specification and validating the solution through testing removes assumptions. This helps keep defence equipment safe, traceable and operationally ready during transport and storage.
Defence packaging that is not demonstrably compliant creates legal, contractual and operational risks. By managing standards, test status, documentation and procurement criteria, organisations can prevent non-compliance. This keeps packaging, safety and operational readiness demonstrably under control.
Incorrect packaging choices for military transport can damage equipment and delay missions. Custom NATO-compliant packaging protects materiel against shocks, moisture and extreme conditions. This keeps critical systems deployable while reducing safety, contractual and logistical risks.
Failure to meet MIL-STD packaging requirements can cause rejection, extra costs and contract risks. Correct packaging methods, marking, documentation and inspections support demonstrable compliance. This reduces the risk of delays, financial damage and the loss of defence contracts.
NATO packaging requirements evolve with technical developments, operational experience and emerging threats. Organizations such as the NATO Standardization Office determine when STANAG standards require revision. By actively tracking updates, suppliers remain compliant and keep critical products reliably protected.
Properly documenting transport case test results is essential for certification, ensuring compliance, traceability, and proven protection performance. Structured and consistent reporting minimizes risks, supports audits, and guarantees reliability across demanding industries.

This article clearly explains what is changing for UN3480/3481 and UN3090/3091, including packaging instructions and risks of non-compliance. Essential reading for anyone who wants to transport lithium batteries safely and in accordance with legislation.
Flammable liquids pose significant risks during storage and transport. This article explains the legal requirements (ADR, IMDG, IATA) and practical hazards and shows how the correct UN-certified packaging prevents incidents.
Failure to comply with REACH leads to substantial fines, supply chain disruptions and lasting damage to reputation. The article emphasises how crucial correct documentation, chain responsibility and continuous monitoring are to prevent risks and ensure business continuity.
REACH is the European framework that regulates the use of chemical substances across the entire supply chain, requiring companies to demonstrate safety and transparency. This article explains how REACH affects materials, packaging design, and compliance obligations for industrial manufacturers, and how Faes supports companies in becoming fully REACH-proof.
The transport of radioactive material is strictly regulated in accordance with international and national regulations. This article by Faes clearly explains which laws and regulations apply, which types of packaging are permitted, and how safety, certification, and documentation are guaranteed during each transport.
In this article, you can read about which MIL-STD certifications are required for defence packaging and why these standards are crucial for safety and reliability. You will discover how tests and procedures are applied to make packaging resistant to extreme conditions and long-term use.
Discover the key certifications for compliant medical packaging, including ISO 13485, UN transport standards, and GDP guidelines. Learn how these ensure safety, traceability, and global market access while meeting strict regulatory demands.
IATA regulations determine whether your air freight will travel smoothly around the world. Discover how the right packaging prevents shipments from being rejected and how you can minimise costs, delays and risks.
The EU Battery Regulation imposes strict requirements on the transport and packaging of lithium batteries from 2027 onwards. This article provides insight into new rules concerning QR codes, Battery Passports, return flows and recycling targets.
ADR regulates the safe transport of dangerous goods and sets strict requirements for industrial packaging. From UN markings to labelling and compatibility, compliance prevents fines and guarantees safety and continuity in the supply chain. Faes helps companies make their packaging fully ADR compliant.
The new EU PPWR regulation will impose strict requirements on industrial packaging from 2026 onwards. Companies must focus on reuse, recyclability and digital traceability in order to remain compliant. This article explains what is changing and how your organisation can prepare.
The transport of hazardous substances within the Ministry of Defence requires strict compliance with international and military standards. UN-certified packaging, clear labelling and well-trained personnel are essential for minimising risks. This ensures the safety of people, equipment and the environment.
Defence packaging must be able to withstand extreme conditions and comply with strict MIL-STD guidelines for protection, durability and traceability. The article explains the requirements for materials, testing and certification, and how organisations can avoid costly mistakes by working with the right partners at the right time.
Packaging must meet different safety standards for the product, transport route and target market. By assessing legislation, international standards and customer requirements, you can select the right framework. This creates a safe, demonstrably compliant packaging solution for transport, storage and use.
Medical packaging must meet strict hygiene standards to ensure sterility and patient safety. The article explains which international guidelines and materials apply and how validation and documentation ensure reliable and compliant packaging solutions.
