What is ADR?
Definition
If you are looking for LED work lights for your vehicle, you have probably come across the term ADR. ADR stands for the “European Agreement Concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road”. Put simply, it is a European agreement on the international transport of dangerous goods by road. If you wish to transport dangerous goods, the LED lighting on your vehicle must have an ADR certificate. If you transport dangerous goods and your lights are not ADR-approved, you are committing an offence. The ADR guidelines are updated every two years. Please bear in mind, therefore, that the rules may change.
ADR certification
ADR certification is required when transporting dangerous goods in Europe. In addition to people, components on a vehicle must also meet various requirements. Thus, the LED lighting must have the correct ADR certification. TRALERT® has a wide range of ADR LED work lights that meet all requirements. Everyone involved in the transport of hazardous goods should have obtained an ADR certificate. It is important to note that these are employers and supervisors. Because the employer is ultimately responsible, the employer must also have obtained the appropriate certificates. These certificates can only be obtained by attending courses.
ADR class 8
However, it is important to know exactly what is considered a hazardous substance. Otherwise, you still don't know when ADR certification applies. The numbers one, two and three (in Roman I, II and III) indicate danger. The number one is very dangerous, the number three is less dangerous. ADR class 8 substances are substances classified as (VG II and III) corrosive or corrosive. Substances of class 8 (corrosive) can be either acidic or basic.
