Transport of Dangerous Goods – ADR

ADR transport refers to an international agreement that regulates the transportation of dangerous goods by road, air, and sea. The aim of ADR is to ensure the safe transport of hazardous goods and protect the health and safety of people, animals, and the environment.

In ADR transport, it is crucial to match the appropriate securing or packaging to the type of substance being transported. Typically, the options include:

• Closed vehicles,
• Open vehicles,
• Tankers (e.g., for liquids or granules).

What are the types of dangerous goods?

Dangerous goods are classified into 9 classes based on their physical and chemical properties:

• Class 1 – Explosive materials
• Class 2 – Gases
• Class 3 – Flammable liquids
• Class 4 – Flammable solids, substances liable to spontaneous combustion, substances that emit flammable gases when in contact with water
• Class 5 – Oxidizing substances and organic peroxides
• Class 6 – Toxic and infectious substances
• Class 7 – Radioactive materials
• Class 8 – Corrosive substances
• Class 9 – Miscellaneous dangerous substances and articles

What are the requirements for transporting dangerous substances?

Transporting dangerous materials is subject to strict legal regulations. Requirements for transporting dangerous goods include:

• Packaging of goods,
• Labeling of goods,
• Transport documentation,
• Transport conditions.

Why choose air transport for dangerous materials?

Air transport of dangerous substances complies with regulations set by the International Air Transport Association (IATA). All procedures and requirements, depending on the class of danger, must be met before sending such cargo. Transporting dangerous goods by air involves legal restrictions but ensures the highest safety for the transported materials. Additionally, it is the fastest method of transport over long distances. It’s important to note that many dangerous substances have strictly defined allowable quantities per individual package permitted on passenger or cargo aircraft. Some hazardous materials are prohibited from air transport.
