If a container is not inspected according to IMDG criteria, what is its classification?

The classification of a container not inspected according to IMDG (International Maritime Dangerous Goods) criteria is considered a "Non-IMDG container." This designation is appropriate because the IMDG Code establishes specific requirements for the safe transport of dangerous goods by sea. If a container has not undergone inspection in accordance with these established criteria, it cannot be guaranteed to meet the safety and compliance standards set out within the IMDG framework.

As a result, the container lacks the necessary certification that confirms it is fit for carrying hazardous materials as outlined by the IMDG Code. Thus, it is categorized as a Non-IMDG container, indicating it should not be utilized for the transport of dangerous goods until proper inspection and certification procedures are followed to validate its compliance with IMDG requirements.
