ADR is the European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road. It splits cargo into hazard classes 1 to 9 and sets requirements for carriage: an ADR transport document, marking of the vehicle and packages, equipment and a trained driver holding an ADR certificate.
Key requirements
- An ADR transport document describing the goods and hazard class.
- Marking: orange plates and warning labels.
- Required vehicle equipment in line with the ADR Agreement.
- A driver with a valid ADR certificate.
- In defined cases, a dangerous goods safety adviser (DGSA).
DGSA is the dangerous goods safety adviser required in undertakings involved in such carriage, to the extent set by the rules.
