The ADR (Accord européen relatif au transport international des marchandises dangereuses par route) is an international agreement that regulates the transportation of dangerous goods by road.
The ADR contains detailed regulations on the packaging, labeling and load securing of dangerous goods to ensure safety during transport.
Originally a European agreement, the ADR is now applied worldwide. It was signed in Geneva in 1957 and has been in force since 1968.
The ADR classifies dangerous goods into different classes, depending on the type of hazard (e.g. explosive substances, flammable liquids).
Documentation: It specifies which documents must be carried during transportation, including the dangerous goods transport documents. Drivers and other persons involved in the transport must complete special training courses and regularly refresh them
