About IIP Chennai:
The first Regional Centre of the Institute was set up at Chennai in the
year 1971. Initially, the Institute was located at Adyar, Chennai in a
rented premise and subsequently, the Institute acquired a land of one acre
at Plot No. 169, Industrial Estate, Perungudi, Chennai and the building was
constructed for IIP - Chennai in 1987.
The Institute has a testing laboratory with sophisticated testing equipment
for the testing of packaging materials and packages. However, the primary
activity of this Centre is to carry out the testing of bulk packages
intended to be used for the carriage of dangerous goods for export either
by Sea or Air, following the IMDG and ICAO regulations respectively.
In addition, the Institute is also involved in Training & Consultancy
Services by way of providing advisory study visits for making spot
suggestions and guidelines to the broad cross section of industries
located in the state of Tamil Nadu.
The Centre has upgraded the testing laboratory and is accredited to the
National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories
(NABL) as per ISO/IEC:17025-2017.
The Centre also has an exclusive laboratory for the testing of Flexible
Intermediate Bulk Containers (FIBC), which is mostly used as a bulk
packaging material for export of chemicals.
