What does ADR mean in dangerous goods transport?

ADR is the international regulatory framework for dangerous goods transport by road and governs classification, packaging, labelling and documentation.

ADR refers to the international regulations for the carriage of dangerous goods by road. It defines how dangerous goods must be classified, packaged, marked and labelled, documented and transported.

For companies, ADR is important because dangerous goods must not be handled like standard goods. Relevant factors include UN number, ADR class, packing group, marking and labelling, accompanying documents, vehicle equipment and driver requirements.

GLOBALSPED organizes ADR dangerous goods transports based on the dangerous goods information provided by the sender and coordinates transport type, route and process with the specific shipment.
