RECOMMENDATIONS on measures Nto ensure the safe transport of dangerous goods by road are expected to be made next year by a working party of the Economic Comniission for -Europe.
At a recent meeting in Geneva, the working party agreed to ask governments for information about accidents in which road vehicles carrying dangerous goods were involved. This is in accordance with their intention to take practical requirements and experience as a basis of their work.
Discussion at this meeting centred mainly on the administrative and technical regulations to be imposed on vehicles to ensure the safety of the crews, other road users and residents of built-up areas along the road, and on regulations governing the movement of the vehicles.
Provisions governing the movement of road vehicles intended for the carriage of dangerous goods, contained in Annex B to , the A.D.R. Road Agreement, are understood to be of great. interest to vehicle builders.
