As from 1 January 2003 regulations for the dispatch of diagnostic samples were stressed. As from 1 July 2005 Post Denmark stipulated that all diagnostic samples must be collected and sent in tested and approved packaging tailor-made for the purpose. FARUSA packaging has been in the business from the beginning and today we can offer three different solutions, all tested and approved acc. to the ADR 2007 regulations.
This information page gives you a presentation of these and if you have further questions or would like to try the packaging, please do not hesitate to contact us.
