What is ADR?

ADR stands for the European Agreement concerning the International Transport of Dangerous Goods by Road, which governs the international transportation of hazardous materials.

It establishes a framework for safely and efficiently transporting hazardous goods by road, including explosives, gases, flammable liquids, and toxic substances. The ADR regulations cover various aspects of dangerous goods transport, such as packaging, labelling, and vehicle requirements. The regulations are designed to minimise the risks of transporting hazardous materials and ensure compliance with European safety standards. Compliance with ADR is mandatory for all road transport companies operating within Europe and is enforced by national regulatory bodies.
