All organisations that package, load, fill, transport or unload dangerous goods.

Companies receiving raw materials/goods transported ADR and that produce dangerous waste, also subject to ADR transportation, are subject to ADR.

Besides, excluding foreseen exemption cases, these organisations must nominate a Safety consultant (ADR consultant).

This regulates:

• classification of dangerous substances with reference to road transport
• the standards and tests determining classification of individual substances as dangerous
• packaging conditions of goods, characteristics of packaging and containers
• construction methods for vehicles and cisterns
• the requirements for transport vehicles, including travel documents
