Description

The ADR is a regulatory instrument that applies to international transport in 53 countries. The ADR lays down requirements for transport operations, driver training and the construction and approval of vehicles. The 2023 edition has been prepared on the basis of amendments which are set to enter into force on 1 January 2023, after acceptance by the Contracting Parties

Key features:

It contains various new and revised provisions concerning:

  • electric storage systems (including modification of the lithium battery mark and provisions for transport of assembled batteries not equipped with overcharge protection)
  • requirements for the design, construction, inspection and testing of portable tanks with shells made of fibre reinforced plastics materials
  • the protection of tanks and certain FL vehicles against the risk of fire
  • use of battery electric vehicles for category AT
  • the use of recycled plastic materials for rigid and composite IBCs
  • the approval of inspection bodies for conformity assessment, type approval certificate issue and inspections of tanks and pressure receptacles

The adoption of the new provisions that will allow the use of battery electric vehicles for category AT for the transport of dangerous goods and the development of provisions related to the use of recycled plastic materials for rigid and composite IBCs are in line with the logic of the energy transition and the development of renewable energy sources.
