ADR 1.6.1.44 has been in the regulations for a number of years, however under a derogation it has not been enforced, the derogation however expires on December 31^st 2022. Therefore unless exempted by the existing provisions in ADR then a consignor of dangerous goods must, by January 1 2023, appoint a DGSA.

When sending hazardous goods by road and other means, the consignor must ensure that all goods conform to the requirements of ADR.

This includes:

• Ascertaining that the dangerous goods are classified and authorised for carriage.
• Furnishing the carrier with appropriate information and transport documents.
• Using only approved packaging and containers which include markings where necessary.

All of our ADR examinations are computer-based which enables you to get your results straight away unless there are any technical issues in which we must revert to paper-based examinations.

Drivers that wish to renew their ADR license must attend a refresher course 6 weeks prior to the expiry date

The course is designed for staff responsible for arranging the movement of dangerous goods.

Please contact us for course dates.
