ADR compliance audit
Under ADR 1.8.1 the authorities may check compliance at any time and in any place — on the road and at your site, security measures included. We walk through your operation first — remotely, through a structured form and photos, against the same checklist the law itself describes.
What we check
ADR 1.8.3.3 lists the practices a safety adviser must monitor — so the audit checklist is written in the law itself. We go through every area against your actual operation.
Identification of the goods
Procedures that keep every carried dangerous good correctly identified and classified.
Vehicles and their purchase
Whether special ADR requirements are taken into account when means of transport are purchased.
Equipment checks
The equipment used for carriage, packing, filling, loading and unloading — checked and in order.
Training and its records
Staff trained for their duties under Chapter 1.3, refreshed on rule changes — with records kept.
Emergency procedures
Proper urgent procedures in place for any accident or incident during carriage, packing or loading.
Employee instructions
Whether the employees actually hold detailed working procedures and instructions for their part of the job.
Subcontractors and third parties
ADR requirements taken into account when carriers and partners are chosen and used.
The same section makes monitoring these practices a standing duty of the consultant — with the ADRplus One subscription this supervision is continuous, not a one-off.

Have a different question?
Contact the consultantCan they really check without warning?
Yes. ADR 1.8.1.1 lets the competent authorities run spot checks at any time, security measures under 1.10.1.5 included. Under 1.8.1.3 they may also check at your premises — inspect, consult documents and take samples.
What do violations cost?
The national law of each country sets the fines — for a missing safety adviser as well as for violations found in carriage, which also stop the vehicle.
How is this different from the subscription?
The audit is a one-off snapshot with a report. For ADRplus One subscribers the initial audit is included at the start — and the same monitoring runs continuously as a standing duty of your consultant under 1.8.3.3.
How long does it take?
You fill in the form when it suits you. The review and the report take a few working days — the consultant names the exact date when you order.
What do we get in hand?
A written report — findings ranked by risk, each with the exact ADR reference and a realistic fix, plus a re-check of the fixes at the agreed date.
