What characterizes products with ADR 9?
The products you won't find anywhere else in the UK classification system (ADR). The objects that fall under ADR class 9 are those that entail a reasonable risk during transport. The typical example of this class is the 'self-inflating life raft'. You know! Those inflatable boats that you can find in planes or boats. These inflatable boats contain a large cylinder that contains compressed air, usually containing carbon dioxide. This has to inflate a canopy when the raft hits the water. Other examples include various explosive rockets, colored smoke candles, solid fuel to heat food or flammable liquid base for glue solution. View the complete list ADR classifications.

ADR 9 transport?
Then make sure that all your equipment, both the vehicles and the storage facilities, meet all the safety requirements and regulations of the ADR 9 Directive. When choosing a transporter, you can always ask whether their equipment is set up for this transport. The person who wants to have these goods transported must in turn have arranged the correct packaging for his objects. If there is no standard packaging with the product, please discuss the options with your carrier.
ADR and lighting?
Because lighting is always important in transport, ADR transporters must also have good lighting. The equipment only meets the ADR 9 requirements if the lighting is also ADR certified. TRALERT® has an extensive range of ADR certified marker lights and work lights. Curious? MNo
