Who creates the documents for an ADR transport?
ADR documents and dangerous goods information must be provided by the sender. They form the basis for transport planning and review.
The goods and dangerous goods documents for an ADR transport must be provided completely and correctly by the sender. Depending on the shipment, these include the safety data sheet, dangerous goods declaration, UN number, proper shipping name, ADR class, packing group, quantity details and packaging information.
A freight forwarder can organize the transport based on this information, but does not create the product-related dangerous goods classification. Incorrect or incomplete ADR information can lead to queries, delays or rejection of the shipment.
GLOBALSPED uses the provided information to coordinate vehicle, route, transport type and process for the dangerous goods transport.
