1A1-METAL DRUM–NONREMOVABLE HEAD- UN

CERTIFICATION TEST
SAMPLE One set (15 Nos.) of 20 litre capacity, non-removable head type Steel drums. The drums
DESCRIPTION were said to be used for the Packaging of product reflected in the Certificate mentioned
above.

For testing purposes, each drum was filled with water up to 98% of its total capacity. The
opening of the drum was closed by metallic screw cap provided with rubber washer.

Maximum external height of the drum (mm) : 377.00

Maximum external diameter of the drum (mm) : 277.00

(Sampling done by the Party. Total 15 Steel Drums were brought to the Institute.)
