ADR

ADR - an abbreviation for hazardous goods. Transport of hazardous goods such as explosives or flammable materials is subject to ADR regulation that is valid throughout Europe. The consignor decides whether goods are subject to ADR regulation or not and provides us with the information, in the order, about the type of ADR. The trader's responsibility is only to pass this information to the carrier. Based on the ADR class the carrier, who has trained drivers, adjusted vehicles, and the statutory accessories and equipment determined for the transport of hazardous goods, is able to establish what type of hazardous goods it is and why they are hazardous. There are 9 basic classes of ADR goods.


EXTRA LARGE
