About us

Thank you for visiting this site, offering information on transporting and handling dangerous goods. The site was conceived and developed by a pool of experts from Flashpoint’s technical division. Our company’s goal is to offer companies constant, up-to-date information on current safety standards, along with expert consulting services.

Flashpoint is the product of a group of professional chemists who developed their expertise in the private sector. One of our company's aims is to convey the recommendations established by current technical standards in easily understood, company-friendly terms. Moreover, we especially focus on the practical and financial aspects of adhering to current standards.

Flashpoint's goals are twofold:

1. To provide, before they are applied nationwide, information on new norms contained in EU directives, future adherence to which might cause planning, operative, or managerial difficulties.
2. To provide comprehensive services in the field of dangerous goods, including consulting, updating, training, lab testing, and environmental protection services.
