What is ADR regulation?
ADR, or the European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road, is a legal framework established in 1957 to regulate the transport of high-risk substances on European roads. This regulation applies to various types of goods, divided into nine hazard classes, including explosives, gases, flammable liquids, toxic and corrosive substances, and many more.
The main objective of ADR is to ensure the safety of people, property, and the environment. It imposes strict requirements for packaging, labeling, and transport to guarantee that these goods do not pose a danger during transit. Companies must comply with these regulations to avoid severe penalties—or worse, serious accidents.
