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.
