Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently asked questions

What is ADR transportation?

ADR (Accord Dangereux Routier) transportation refers to the regulated movement of Dangerous Goods by road, as defined under the European Agreement Concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road. It makes sure everyone involved, from the people preparing the goods to the drivers on the road follows a clear, consistent approach so that hazardous materials are handled responsibly and travel without unnecessary risk.

What is classed as ADR?

ADR covers nine classes of Dangerous Goods, including:

  • Class 1 – Explosive substances
  • Class 2 – Gases and gaseous substances
  • Class 3 – Flammable liquids
  • Class 4.1 – Flammable solids, self-reactive substances, desensitized explosives
  • Class 4.2 – Substances liable to spontaneous combustion
