Tool: Guidelines for the security of the transport of dangerous goods by road
These guidelines provide a list of practical options on how a company can meet the requirements of the chapter 1.10 on Security Provisions in ADR 2015. They are the result of a cooperation between 11 industry associations, which represent a large part of manufacturing, transport, distribution and forwarding industries, involved in the transport of dangerous goods and every company involved with the transport of dangerous goods.
These Guidelines have been designed to provide as comprehensive a range of technical and operational options as possible, from which users can select their optimum mix measurements.
