Transport ADR

At iCaro Logistics, we offer ADR transport services, also known as the transport of dangerous goods. We invite large enterprises, smaller companies, as well as individual clients to cooperate with us.

ADR — definition of dangerous goods transport

ADR is an abbreviation of the French “L’ Accord européen relatif au transport international des marchandises Dangereuses par Route.” It refers to the international convention on the road transport of dangerous goods and cargo.
The transport of dangerous goods (ADR) requires special attention, precise organization, and compliance with numerous legal and technical standards. Every transport company dealing with such cargo must hold the appropriate certifications and guarantee the highest safety standards.

Dangerous goods in freight transport

Dangerous goods include materials and substances that may pose a threat to human and animal health, as well as to the environment. ADR classification includes, among others:

♦ explosive materials,
♦ gases,
♦ flammable substances,
♦ toxic and corrosive substances,
♦ radioactive materials.

Each dangerous cargo is classified under the ADR system, which includes 9 hazard classes:

♦ explosive materials (class 1),
♦ gases (class 2),
♦ flammable liquids (class 3),
♦ flammable solids (class 4),
♦ oxidizing substances and organic peroxides (class 5),
♦ toxic and infectious substances (class 6),
♦ radioactive materials (class 7),
♦ corrosive substances (class 8),
♦ miscellaneous dangerous substances and articles (class 9).

Each transport of these substances requires proper labeling, documentation, and compliance with strict safety regulations.

How are ADR goods transported?

The transport of dangerous goods follows special procedures and protective measures. Key safety elements include:

♦ Appropriate vehicles – adapted for transporting specific classes of dangerous substances and equipped with special safety systems.
♦ Labeling – every vehicle carrying ADR goods must be clearly marked with warning signs.
♦ Documentation – the carrier must have documents confirming compliance with ADR regulations. An ADR vehicle approval certificate is required.
♦ Driver qualifications – drivers must complete specialist training and hold certificates authorizing them to transport hazardous cargo.

ADR transport company – how to choose a subcontractor?

Choosing the right ADR transport company is crucial for safety and effective delivery. When selecting a subcontractor, pay attention to:

♦ Experience – the company should have many years of experience in ADR transport and approach each job individually.
♦ Certificates and licenses – make sure the company has all required documentation.
♦ References and reviews – check other clients’ reviews and obtain references from companies that have used the carrier’s services.
♦ Verified subcontractors – the company should only work with qualified subcontractors.
