Industries

Built for your sector

ADR touches more sectors than most expect. Find your industry and see what the rules mean for you.

Chemicals

Bulk and packaged chemicals move across nearly every ADR hazard class — precise classification is where compliance starts.

Learn more

Fuel & energy

Fuels, LPG and biofuels are some of the highest-volume ADR loads on the road — and some of the most tightly regulated.

Learn more

Pharmaceuticals

From flammable solvents to diagnostic samples, pharma supply chains carry more ADR-regulated cargo than most realise.

Learn more

Agriculture

Fertilisers, pesticides and farm fuel put many agricultural operations under ADR without anyone realising it.

Learn more

Paints & coatings

Paints, thinners and coatings are everyday class 3 and class 8 cargo — familiar products, real ADR obligations.

Learn more

Cosmetics & aerosols

Aerosol cosmetics and alcohol-based products are class 2 and class 3 cargo hiding in plain sight.

Learn more

Batteries & lithium

Lithium batteries — loose, in equipment or in devices — are class 9 cargo with some of ADR's most specific packing rules.

Learn more

Waste & recycling

Hazardous waste stays ADR-classified all the way to disposal — recycling doesn't reset the clock.

Learn more

Logistics & transport

Forwarders and 3PLs carry dangerous goods for clients who may not even know their cargo is regulated.

Learn more

Manufacturing

Solvents, gases and process chemicals put most manufacturing sites under ADR long before the finished product ships.

Learn more

Construction

Welding gases, fuels and site chemicals make most construction companies ADR-regulated without a single 'dangerous goods' job title on site.

Learn more

E-commerce

Batteries, aerosols and flammable liquids move through fulfilment centres every day — often without anyone flagging them as dangerous goods.

Learn more

Laboratories

Lab reagents and samples are dangerous goods the moment they leave the building — classification rarely stops at the door.

Learn more

Car services

The return run of old batteries and airbags is full ADR carriage — even when it is your own van driving to the recycler.

Learn more

Drones & unmanned systems

A spare battery in a backpack and the same battery in a courier parcel live under different rules — the borders are set at classification.

Learn more

Explosives & ammunition

By 2028 new ammunition and explosives plants start up across Europe — and with them dozens of suppliers, warehouses and carriers facing ADR duties for the first time.
