What is ADR transport?

ADR transport refers to the transportation of dangerous goods according to the regulations of the “Accord européen relatif au transport international des marchandises dangereuses par route.” This includes substances such as chemicals, flammable materials and other dangerous goods that require special handling and safety measures. Every aspect of transportation, from packaging to marking and documentation, must comply with strict ADR regulations.

Which goods are subject to ADR transport?

In ADR transport, it is important that hazardous materials are classified correctly. Each substance has its own ADR class, with different regulations applying to packaging, labeling, documentation, and transport safety. At Germanetti, we have the knowledge and experience to handle various types of ADR transport.

Class 1. Explosive substances.
Explosive substances and objects that produce gas during a reaction, thereby creating a hazard. There are very strict safety regulations for this category.
Class 2. Gases.
Compressed, liquid, or dissolved gases, such as industrial gases, flammable gases, and medical gases.
Class 3. Flammable liquids.
This ADR class includes, among other things, gasoline, diesel, ethanol, acetone, and various chemical liquids that are highly flammable.
Class 4. Flammable solids.
Solids that, under certain conditions, may cause a fire or may spontaneously ignite during storage or transport.
Class 5. Oxidizing substances and organic peroxides.
Substances that can promote or accelerate combustion and therefore require special safety measures.
Class 6. Toxic Substances.
Chemical products that may be harmful to humans, animals, or the environment if inhaled, swallowed, or if they come into contact with the skin.
Class 7. Radioactive materials.
Specific substances that emit radioactive radiation and may be transported only under strict conditions.
Class 8. Corrosive substances.
Corrosive substances, such as acids and alkalis, that can cause damage to materials, people, or the environment.
Class 9. Miscellaneous hazardous substances.
Substances that do not fall under any other ADR class but do pose a risk during ADR transport. For example, lithium batteries and environmentally hazardous substances.

How does ADR transport work at Germanetti?

ADR transport involves a little more than just transporting goods from point A to point B. Every ADR shipment is carefully prepared and carried out in accordance with applicable national and international regulations.

  1. Taking inventory of the goods. Beforehand, we identify which substances are being transported, which ADR classification applies, and which specific conditions are in effect. This allows us to immediately determine which vehicles, packaging, and safety measures are required.
  2. Review of regulations and documentation. ADR transport requires the proper documentation. Our team reviews all relevant transport documents and ensures that the shipment complies with ADR regulations and, where applicable, international regulations.
  3. Load and secure safely. Safety is the top priority in ADR transport. The cargo is inspected, secured, and transported in accordance with the regulations applicable to the ADR class.
  4. International shipping. Thanks to our network in Europe and North Africa , we provide long-distance ADR transport. Our team of planners and ADR-certified drivers ensures that shipments are handled efficiently and safely.
  5. Delivery and Processing. Upon arrival, the goods are delivered in accordance with the agreed-upon procedures. In doing so, we take into account local regulations and customs requirements.

Specialist in ADR transport to North Africa

Many companies focus their ADR transport on Europe, but at Germanetti, we go a step further and even provide ADR transport to North Africa. Thanks to our long-standing presence in this region, we understand the challenges, regulations, and customs procedures better than anyone else. This enables us to provide ADR transport to destinations such as Morocco, Tunisia, and Libya. Because we’ve been managing transport flows to this region for many years, we have extensive knowledge of regulations, border procedures, and documentation requirements. ADR transport to North Africa is more complex than standard European transport. This is due to:

  • The strict and varying customs procedures in each country
  • Longer transit times
  • Additional checks for hazardous substances
  • Differences in the interpretation of ADR documentation.


We anticipate this by checking and monitoring the shipment in advance, thereby preventing delays.

We combine European ADR standards with local expertise in North Africa. Thanks to our knowledge of border documentation requirements, we serve as a logistics partner: a single point of contact for planning, documentation, transportation, and delivery.
