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 moreFuel & energy
Fuels, LPG and biofuels are some of the highest-volume ADR loads on the road — and some of the most tightly regulated.
Learn morePharmaceuticals
From flammable solvents to diagnostic samples, pharma supply chains carry more ADR-regulated cargo than most realise.
Learn moreAgriculture
Fertilisers, pesticides and farm fuel put many agricultural operations under ADR without anyone realising it.
Learn morePaints & coatings
Paints, thinners and coatings are everyday class 3 and class 8 cargo — familiar products, real ADR obligations.
Learn moreCosmetics & aerosols
Aerosol cosmetics and alcohol-based products are class 2 and class 3 cargo hiding in plain sight.
Learn moreBatteries & lithium
Lithium batteries — loose, in equipment or in devices — are class 9 cargo with some of ADR's most specific packing rules.
Learn moreWaste & recycling
Hazardous waste stays ADR-classified all the way to disposal — recycling doesn't reset the clock.
Learn moreLogistics & transport
Forwarders and 3PLs carry dangerous goods for clients who may not even know their cargo is regulated.
Learn moreManufacturing
Solvents, gases and process chemicals put most manufacturing sites under ADR long before the finished product ships.
Learn moreConstruction
Welding gases, fuels and site chemicals make most construction companies ADR-regulated without a single 'dangerous goods' job title on site.
Learn moreE-commerce
Batteries, aerosols and flammable liquids move through fulfilment centres every day — often without anyone flagging them as dangerous goods.
Learn moreLaboratories
Lab reagents and samples are dangerous goods the moment they leave the building — classification rarely stops at the door.
Learn moreCar 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 moreDrones & 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 moreExplosives & 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.
