ADR Approved Dangerous Goods Classes

ECL Kontor is an experienced dangerous goods transport provider. Because hazardous cargo is strictly regulated across Europe, we hold all required ADR certifications for road transport. Our trained staff and licensed vehicles ensure safe and reliable delivery. Under ADR rules, dangerous goods are divided into hazard classes. Since each class involves different risks, specific safety measures apply. Therefore, careful documentation and proper handling are required at every stage.

Class 1 – Explosives

This class includes materials with an explosion risk, such as ammunition or ignition substances. Because these goods can detonate under certain conditions, strict control is necessary.

Class 2 – Gases

Gases such as hydrogen or propane may be flammable or toxic. Therefore, pressure control and secure storage are essential during transport.

Class 3 – Flammable Liquids

Liquids like gasoline or alcohol ignite easily, so they must be carefully packaged and secured.

Class 4 – Flammable Solids

Some solid materials may ignite through friction or spontaneous reaction. For this reason, safe loading and separation are required.

Class 5 – Oxidizing Substances and Organic Peroxides

Although these substances are not always flammable, they can intensify combustion. Therefore, additional safety precautions are necessary.

Class 6 – Toxic and Infectious Substances

Materials in this class can harm human health if inhaled or absorbed. Because of this risk, protective measures and correct labeling are mandatory.

Class 7 – Radioactive Materials

Radioactive cargo requires strict containment and monitoring. Since even minor exposure may present serious risks, safety procedures must be followed carefully.

Class 8 – Corrosive Substances

Corrosive goods such as acids or alkalis can damage skin and equipment. Therefore, careful packaging and secure separation are essential.

Class 9 – Miscellaneous Dangerous Goods

This group includes materials like lithium batteries or airbags. Although they do not fit other ADR classes, they still require specific handling procedures. All dangerous goods transport operations comply with ADR regulations defined by the UNECE , so that legal compliance and operational safety are ensured.
