The ADR dangerous goods certificate explained
The ADR driver training certificate is what you need to carry dangerous goods by road above the threshold quantities. ADR is the European agreement enforced in Great Britain under the Carriage of Dangerous Goods regulations, enforced by HSE, the Office for Nuclear Regulation and DfT, working with the police and DVSA.
How you qualify
- Complete approved ADR training and pass multiple-choice examinations administered by SQA.
- The training is modular: a compulsory Core module, plus Packages, Tank and class-specific modules (for example Class 1 explosives or Class 7 radioactive) as needed.
- The certificate lasts five years, after which you take refresher training.
The nine classes of dangerous goods
Class 1 explosives, Class 2 gases, Class 3 flammable liquids, Class 4 flammable solids and related substances, Class 5 oxidising substances, Class 6 toxic and infectious substances, Class 7 radioactive material, Class 8 corrosives, and Class 9 miscellaneous dangerous goods (checked against HSE).
