The transport of dangerous goods by road under ADR (European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road) involves rigorous controls to ensure safety in the event that several classes of goods travel together. The key is to correctly calculate the permitted quantity limit and the combination of different classes of goods in a single vehicle. Here we explain how to do this in a simple way.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. Classification of dangerous goods<\/b><\/h4>\n

First, it is essential to know the class of each dangerous good you are transporting. The ADR classifies dangerous goods into 9 main classes, depending on their nature, such as explosives (Class 1), gases (Class 2), flammable liquids (Class 3), among others.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. Compatibility table<\/b><\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

Not all classes of dangerous goods can travel together. The ADR compatibility table specifies which classes can be carried in the same vehicle. For example, Class 3 goods (flammable liquids) must not be carried together with Class 1 goods (explosives), unless special provisions allow this.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. Calculation of the total quantity permitted<\/b><\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

Once the classes of goods and their compatibility have been identified, the next step is to calculate the quantity limit for each product. According to the ADR, there are loading thresholds that must not be exceeded, especially for \u2018limited quantity\u2019 or \u2018excepted quantity\u2019 consignments. The total sum of dangerous goods carried in a vehicle must not exceed 1,000 points, according to the ADR calculation method.<\/p>\n
