On the route up to the border the ADR Agreement (the European agreement on the carriage of dangerous goods by road) applies, and after the crossing into the United Kingdom the British rules on the carriage of dangerous goods take over. You need an ADR transport document, correct marking, a driver with an ADR certificate, and full post-Brexit clearance with a GMR and ENS.
What must line up
- An ADR transport document with the correct dangerous goods description.
- Marking of packages and vehicle matching the hazard class.
- A driver with a valid ADR certificate and the required equipment.
- Post-Brexit clearance: an ENS safety declaration and a GMR number.
ADR is the European agreement on the international carriage of dangerous goods by road, setting out hazard classes, marking and documents.
This is general information, not legal advice. At OPTIMUS TRANSPORT we combine ADR carriage with UK clearance. See services and customs clearance.
