ADR dangerous goods: documentation checklist

Short answer

Under the European ADR agreement, a dangerous-goods request needs the UN number, the proper shipping name, the hazard class, the packing group, and the net quantity per item — plus the standard route and handling details.

Why carriers need the ADR data

ADR drivers, vehicles, and routes are regulated. The class and quantity decide whether the load is fully regulated, travels under an exemption such as limited or excepted quantities, or cannot be carried together with other goods. Carriers need these facts before they can confirm a vehicle.

What to include

State the dangerous-goods facts clearly so the carrier can assess the load.

• UN number and proper shipping name.
• Hazard class, and any subsidiary risk.
• Packing group (I, II, or III) where it applies.
• Net quantity per line and the total.
• Packaging type and any segregation needs.
• Whether limited-quantity or excepted-quantity rules apply.
