When transporting perishables in a refrigerated cargo van, it’s essential to understand both regulatory requirements and practical build-outs—especially when using proper cargo van wall liner material and interior liners to protect both goods and equipment. Here’s what you need to know, with insight from Volition Components’ expert installations:

🍎 1. Regulatory Standards for Refrigerated Vans

  • Food Safety and Standards Act (2006) & BIS guidelines mandate hygienic transport conditions, temperature control, and cleanable surfaces—rules that extend to refrigerated vehicles

  • Under Indian law, refrigerated platforms must be approved by health authorities, and chassis must be structurally sound and thermally tested (e.g., IS 13288‑2/IS 11930)

  • Temperature classification is codified:

    • Class C vans operate between +12 to –20 °C, requiring certification every six years by authorized testing centers

2. The Role of Cargo Van Interior Liners

Cargo van wall liners and cargo van interior liners are critical for regulatory compliance:

  • Refrigerated vans require reinforced, seamless, leak-proof liners—typically GRP, high-density PUF, or hygienic plywood laminated with fiberglass

  • Legend wall liners—premium linings offered by Volition Components—combine foam insulation with durable surfaces that handle repeated loading/unloading and resist moisture and bacterial growth.

3. Insulation & Hygiene: Dual Imperatives

  • Proper wall and ceiling insulation (usually 35–100 mm thick) ensures consistent temperature and reduces energy usage

  • Liners must create a closed, vapor-tight interior shell: seams and joints are sealed to prevent cold air leaks and condensation—mandated by safety regulations .

  • Walls and floors must be easy to sanitize: quality interior van liners incorporate wipe-clean surfaces and rounded corners to avoid bacterial buildup—helping meet inspections under the Food Safety and Standards Act.

4. Installation Best Practices by Volition Components

Volition excels at cargo van interior liners installation using industry-approved procedures:

  1. Substrate prep – remove contaminants and ensure structural integrity.

  2. Fit liner panels – secure each panel with concealed fasteners.

  3. Seal seams and joints – create a continuous, vapor-tight shell.

  4. Add floor-to-wall liners – seamlessly merge surfaces for smooth cleaning.

  5. Insulation coverage – lining systems include foam insulation to meet thermal standards.

This comprehensive build ensures your van meets both transport regulations and performance expectations.

5. Ensuring Operational Compliance & Product Integrity

  • Certified liners and insulation systems help vans pass thermal leakage tests and maintain Class C (–20 °C) performance standards

  • Regulatory oversight may include equipment calibration, door seal inspections, and liner integrity checks.

  • With Volition’s liners in place, your refrigerated van remains compliant, minimizes spoilage risk, and supports operational longevity.

✅ Final Takeaway

Regulations demand refrigerated vans that are insulated, hygienic, and regulatory-compliant. Interior van liners—including wall liners, floor liners, and Legend wall liners—are critical components that help meet these standards.

For businesses in Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, or Pune, partnering with Volition Components ensures your cargo van meets all legal requirements—from wall liner installation to full temperature-class certification—not just protecting goods, but also your brand’s reputation.
