The truth about ADR regulations
Page 28
If you've noticed an error in this article please click here to report it so we can fix it.
I write in response to a recent CM competition (CM 29 June).
My observations are as follows: The Carriage of Dangerous Goods and Use of Transportable Pressure Equipment Regulations 2004 (CDGUTPER 2004) (as amended) does not have a "paragraph 8.1.5".
CDGUTPER 2004 Regulation 24(1)(b)(i) refers to Section 8.1.5 of ADR and is therefore the relevant reference for the equipment mentioned in the competition.
My reason for bringing this to your attention is that CM is a trusted publication and it may be that readers could he misled into believing that the items forming the competition prize arc either newly required, or required from 2007 onwards.
To set the record straight. the items have been required for international journeys under A DR for a number of years, but became a requirement under UK law on 10 May 2004 for national work. Therefore, vehicles on UK dangerous goods work have needed to carry this equipment for over two years when carrying dangerous goods above threshold quantities.
The effect of ADR 8.1.5(c) is that extra safety equipment might also have to be carried.
The extra equipment to be carried depends upon the nature and hazardous properties of the particular dangerous substance or article concerned.This information is set out in a document called 'instructions in writing'. sometimes referred to as aTremcard, which is also required to be carried on board the vehicle in the UK once threshold limits have been exceeded.
