What is ADR Consulting for?
The primary purpose of the ADR is to standardize safety regulations for the international road transport of dangerous goods , ensuring an adequate level of safety. Currently, 54 countries have signed up to the ADR, which is updated every two years, with amendments coming into force in odd-numbered years. Between January 1 and June 30, 2023, the use of the ADR 2021 and ADR 2023 regulations is optional, but from July 1, 2023, the adoption of the new provisions of the ADR 2023 manual will become mandatory.
Our ADR consultancy will guide you through all the necessary procedures to achieve compliance.
