(3) The amendments adopted during the biennium 2016-2018 by WP.15 and the ADN Administrative Committee for the Transport of Dangerous Goods by Road and Inland Waterways were notified to the Parties to ADR and ADN on 1 July 2018. Annex B: Provisions relating to means of transport and transport The structure complies with the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, the Model Regulations, the International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code (International Maritime Organization), the Technical Instructions for the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air (International Civil Aviation Organization) and the Rules on the Safety of the air transport of dangerous goods the international transport of dangerous goods by rail (Intergovernmental Organization for International Carriage by Rail). The presentation is as follows: Article 4 of Directive 2008/68/EC, which concerns third countries, states that “the transport of dangerous goods between Member States and third countries shall be permitted provided that it complies with the requirements of ADR, rid or ADN, unless otherwise specified in the Annexes”. (7) The abovementioned amendments concern uniform technical standards or technical regulations with a view to ensuring the safe and efficient transport of dangerous goods, taking into account scientific and technical progress in this sector and the development of new substances and articles which present a risk during transport. The development of the transport of dangerous goods by road and inland waterway, both within the Union and between the Union and its neighbouring countries, is a key element of the common transport policy and ensures the proper functioning of all industries producing or using goods classified as dangerous under ADR and the Annex. The Annexes consist of nine chapters containing the following content 1.General provisions: terminology, general requirements 2.Classification: classification of dangerous goods 3.Dangerous goods list, sorted by UN number, with references to specific requirements of Chapters 3 to 9; specific provisions and exemptions for dangerous goods packed in limited quantities 4.Provisions on packaging and refuelling 5.Transit procedures, labelling and marking of containers and vehicles. 6.Design and testing of packagings, intermediate bulk containers (IBCs), bulk packagings and tanks 7.Conditions of carriage, loading, unloading and handling 8.Vehicle crews, equipment, operation and documentation 9.Construction and registration of vehicles The agreement itself is short and simple, and its main article is Article 2. This article stipulates that dangerous substances, with the exception of certain exceptionally dangerous substances, may generally be transported internationally in wheeled vehicles, provided that two groups of conditions are met: ADR, officially the European Convention of 30 September 1957 concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road, is a 1957 United Nations treaty governing the transboundary transport of goods. dangerous goods. “ADR” is derived from the French name of the treaty: European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road). From 1.

In January 2021, the treaty will be renamed agreements on the international transport of dangerous goods by road, as the word “European” in its original name may give the impression that the treaty is only open to accession by European states. Unless the Parties raise sufficient objections, the amendments provided for in this proposal should enter into force and become binding on 1 January 2019. Part 1 General provisions Part 2 Classification Part 3 Dangerous goods list, specific provisions and exceptions relating to limited and excepted quantities Part 4 Packaging and refuelling regulations Part 5 Shipping procedures Part 6 Requirements for the design and testing of packagings, intermediate bulk containers (IBCs), bulk packagings, of tanks and bulk containers Part 7 Provisions on conditions of carriage, loading and unloading and international transhipment Provisions for the transport of dangerous goods are established by various international organizations such as the UNECE, the Intergovernmental Organization for International Carriage by Rail (OTIF) and various specialized bodies of the United Nations. As the rules must be compatible, a complex international system of coordination and harmonization has been developed between the organizations involved in this work. The provisions are adapted after a two-year cycle. The main objective and content of the Decision concerns the transport of dangerous goods by road and inland waterway. Therefore, the substantive legal basis for the proposed decision is Article 91 TFEU. The European Union is not a party to ADR and ADN. However, the fact that the European Union does not take part in an international agreement does not prevent it from exercising its competence by adopting, through its institutions, a position which acts jointly in its interest on its behalf within the body established by that agreement, in particular by the Member States which are parties to that convention (see Germany v Council, Case C-399/12 (`the OIV`), paragraph 52 and the case-law cited). Annex A: General rules and regulations relating to dangerous articles and substances – the conditions laid down in Annex A for the goods concerned, in particular as regards their packaging and labelling; and The above-mentioned annexes and regulations, commonly referred to as the annexes to ADR and the regulations annexed to ADN, govern the international transport of dangerous goods by road and inland waterway respectively between the members of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), which are also parties to ADR and ADN. In particular, the rules for the classification of dangerous goods have been clarified both with regard to samples of energy materials for testing purposes (section 2.1.4.3), the classification of articles as articles containing dangerous goods n.e.c. (section 2.1.5) and the classification of corrosive substances (section 2.2.8).

Several new entries have been added to the dangerous goods list, starting with UN 3535 TOXIC SOLID, FLAMMABLE, INORGANIC, N.O.S. up to 3548 ITEMS CONTAINING VARIOUS DANGEROUS GOODS N.O.S. New packing instructions have been created. B for example a P911 packaging manual for defective cells and batteries (lithium-methal batteries, lithium-ion batteries, if they are transported individually or included in devices). In addition, the existing packing rules in Chapter 3.3 have been amended, e.g. special provision 392 for the carriage of gas tank systems for gas was designed and approved for installation in gas-powered vehicles was amended to take into account the development of specific standards and requirements, including Regulation (EC) No 79/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 January 2009 on the type-approval of hydrogen vehicles. motor vehicles; and amending Directive 2007/46/EC 1 , Commission Regulation (EU) No 406/2010 of 26 April 2010 implementing Regulation (EC) No 79/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council on type-approval of hydrogen-powered motor vehicles 2. As regards changes specific to the type of procedure, new rules on fixations have been introduced in the area of alternative dispute resolution. For ADN, the classification of areas of oil tankers requiring explosion protection and the classification of the category of equipment shall be introduced in order to align the requirements applicable to those ships with the current requirements of Directive 2014/34/EU 3. The categories of dangerous goods according to ADR are as follows: Class 1 Explosive substances and articles Class 2 Gases, including compressed, liquefied and pressurized gases and vapours Combustible gases (e.B butane, propane, acetylene) Non-flammable and non-toxic that can cause suffocation (e.B.

Nitrogen, CO2) or oxidizing agents (e.g. B, oxygen) Toxic (e.g., chlorine, phosgene) Class 3 Flammable liquids Class 4.1 Flammable solids, self-reactive substances and desensitized solid explosives Class 4.2 Spontaneously flammable substances Class 4.3 Substances emitting flammable gases in contact with water Class 5.1 Oxidizing substances Class 5.2 Organic peroxides Class 6.1 Toxic substances Class 6.2 Infectious substances Class 7 Radioactive substances Class 8 Corrosive substances Substances Class 9 Miscellaneous substances and articles ADR, which stands for International Agreement on the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (officially the European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR)) is a 1957 United Nations treaty that regulates the cross-border transport of dangerous goods. “ADR” is derived from the French name of the contract: European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road). Part 8 Requirements for crews, equipment, operation and documentation of vehicles Part 9 Requirements for the construction and approval of vehicles The hazard classes according to ADR are as follows: it was completed on 30 September 1957 in Geneva under the auspices of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe and entered into force on 29 January 1968. The Agreement was amended in New York on 21 August 1975 (Article 14(3)), although these amendments did not enter into force until 19 April 1985. A new amended ADR 2011 entered into force on 1 January 2011. Annexes A and B have been regularly amended and updated since the entry into force of ADR. On the amendments for entry into force on 1.

January 2015 (until June 2017) a revised consolidated version was therefore published as document ECE/TRANS/242, Vols. I and II. [1] A new revision will apply from 1 January 2017[2] The agreement itself is short and simple. The key article is the second, which states that, in addition to certain excessively dangerous goods, other dangerous goods may also be transported internationally in road vehicles, provided that they are complied with: the Annex to this proposal contains a detailed list of planned changes, indicating that they can be accepted by the Union. .
