ADR - Hazardous & Dangerous Goods
What does ADR means?
ADR stands for Accord Dangereux Routier which is the "European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road." It is a set of regulations established by the United Nations in 1957. The primary objective of ADR is to ensure the safe and secure transportation of hazardous materials by road across international borders.
The agreement classifies dangerous goods into nine categories, such as flammable liquids, corrosive substances, and toxic materials. Compliance with ADR regulations is mandatory for carriers, drivers, and anyone involved in transporting hazardous goods.
At Nextep Solutions, we strictly adhere to ADR guidelines, prioritizing safety and protecting both people and the environment during transit.

Packaging
Packaging must be UN-approved. This means that it has been designed and constructed to the specification standards of the UN. They have to pass certain tests such as being dropped, stacked or put under pressure.
Before you order any packaging make sure that the packaging supplier sends you: a copy of the certificate, information on how to use the packaging properly and any packaging test reports.
Labelling
Dangerous goods MUST be labelled with the appropriate hazard symbols, warnings and safety advice. Please note, that labelling requirements can vary between countries.
Documentation
All dangerous goods must be accompanied by the correct documentation identifying what the products are. The driver should have or know where to get, a copy of the safety data sheets of the goods being transported.
Responsibility
The consignor (the sender of the goods) is responsible for ensuring that the goods are classified, labelled, packed and identified correctly. However, when it comes to the actual movement of the goods, many of the regulations apply to all involved those who ‘allow dangerous goods to be transported.
