What does “ADR” actually stand for?

ADR is the official abbreviation commonly used in the logistics industry for “Accord européen relatif au transport international des marchandises d angereuses par route”. This is a European convention that aims to ensure the safe handling of dangerous goods.

This is to avoid damage to people, animals, the environment and important general goods. The regulations contain, for example, the classification, packaging, labeling and documentation of the respective dangerous goods as well as how to deal with the dangerous goods during actual transport and the selection of suitable vehicles.

Which requirements still apply?

The regulations of the ADR are extremely extensive and must be observed very strictly. In addition, the “Act on the Carriage of Dangerous Goods” and the “Ordinance on the Domestic and Cross-Border Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road, Rail and Inland Waterways” also apply.

Our dangerous goods officer can tell you exactly which rules apply to your dangerous goods. So you can concentrate fully on your business – we take care of the proper transport.
