Norway ADR Exam cheat sheet

ADR is the European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road, concluded at Geneva in 1957 and administered under the UNECE; it is periodically amended (Annexes A and B, in force on a two-year cycle).

Annex A contains the Agreement text plus Parts 1, 2, 3 and 4 (general provisions, classification, dangerous goods list, packing and tank provisions); Annex B contains Parts 5 to 9 (consignment, construction, carriage, loading, vehicle crews and equipment).

ADR does not apply to carriage by private individuals for personal use in retail packaging, nor to carriage by the armed forces, nor to carriage under national emergency measures; these are scope exclusions, not exemptions.

Exemptions in 1.1.3 include: carriage in quantities below the 1.1.3.6 thresholds (the '1000 points' rule), carriage of gases in cylinders for breathing apparatus, and carriage of machinery not containing dangerous goods in their fuel lines.

The 1.1.3.6 quantity limit sums the product of quantity and the multiplier factor for each transport category (0, 1, 2, 3, 4); exceeding 1000 points triggers full ADR compliance, and no points apply to transport category 0 goods.

Multilateral agreements (M-numbers) and bilateral agreements between states permit deviations from ADR for a limited period; they do not amend ADR itself and must be carried in the vehicle when used.

ADR applies to carriage between Contracting Parties; purely domestic Norwegian carriage is governed by the national regulations (ADR-forskriften) which largely mirror ADR but add Norwegian provisions.

Special provisions (column 6 of Table A, Chapter 3.3) modify the application of the Agreement for specific UN numbers and override general rules where they conflict.

Nine classes: 1 explosives, 2 gases, 3 flammable liquids, 4.1/4.2/4.3 flammable solids, spontaneously combustible and water-reactive, 5.1/5.2 oxidizers and organic peroxides, 6.1/6.2 toxic and infectious substances, 7 radioactive, 8 corrosives, 9 miscellaneous.

Class 1 is subdivided into compatibility groups A to S; assignment of a division (1.1 to 1.6) depends on test series 1-8 of the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria and the predominant hazard.

Packing groups I (high danger), II (medium) and III (low) apply to classes 3, 4, 5.1, 5.2 (no PG), 6.1, 8 and 9; PG assignment follows the criteria in 2.2.x.1.1 (e.g. flash point and boiling point for Class 3).

Class 3 flammable liquids have a flash point not exceeding 60 °C (closed cup); highly flammable liquids have an initial boiling point of 35 °C or less and a flash point below 23 °C.

Table A of Chapter 3.2 has 20 columns: UN number, name, class, classification code, packing group, labels, special provisions, limited and excepted quantities, packing instructions, portable tank and tank instructions, and vehicle provisions.

Table B (Chapter 3.2) is an alphabetical index of proper shipping names linked to UN numbers; the proper shipping name must be used on the transport document, in the language of the country of origin and in another ADR language.

Subsidiary hazards are shown in column 5 of Table A and require additional labels and, where applicable, additional packaging provisions; the primary hazard determines the class.

Column 7 special provisions are identified by numbers (e.g. 274, 640, 645) and can modify naming, packaging or carriage requirements for that UN number.

Packaging instructions for packed goods are in 4.1.4 (P-codes for boxes, drums, jerricans, bags); IBC instructions are IBC-codes in 4.1.4.2, and large packaging instructions are LP-codes.

Packaging must be of a UN type-tested design, marked with the UN symbol, code, packing group, year of manufacture and the state authorising the mark; the mark is shown on the packaging and is not repeated on the label.

The UN packaging code (e.g. 1A1, 3H1, 6HA1) encodes type, material and construction; the code must match the packing instruction in column 8 of Table A.

Package labels: hazard labels are 100 x 100 mm (diamond, 50 x 50 mm for small packages), plus the UN number for Class 1, 2 (some), 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 where required, and orientation arrows for liquids.

IBCs must be marked with the UN symbol, the IBC code, the packing group, the year of manufacture and the state authorising the mark; they carry a metal plate with the same information and a capacity marking.

Portable tanks (T-codes) and tank-containers (IMDG/ADR tanks) have their own tank instructions (T1-T23, TP-codes) and must be marked with the tank code, the UN number and the proper shipping name, plus the capacity.

Tank vehicles and demountable tanks must have tank instructions in column 12 of Table A and comply with the construction requirements of Chapter 6.7 or 6.8; periodic inspection intervals are typically 2.5, 5 or 10 years depending on the tank.

Empty uncleaned packages containing dangerous goods remain subject to ADR requirements unless the residues are below the limits of 1.1.3.6; they must be labelled as if full unless cleaned.

The transport document must contain: UN number, proper shipping name, class, packing group (where applicable), number and description of packages, total quantity, and the name and address of the consignor and consignee.

For tanks and bulk, the document must show the tank number or the identification of the tank, plus the name and address of the tank operator; for empty uncleaned tanks, the words 'empty, uncleaned' or 'last load' must be added.

The transport document must be in the language of the country of origin and in another ADR language if the carriage crosses borders; Norway requires Norwegian or another ADR language.

The instructions in writing (4-page document, ADR 5.4.3) must be carried in the cab and be in a language the driver can read; they cover the nature of the danger, protective actions, and first aid.

The transport document must be accompanied by the certificate of approval for Class 1 and Class 7 (where applicable), the tank inspection certificate, and the driver's ADR training certificate.

The consignor is responsible for the accuracy of the transport document; the carrier is responsible for ensuring the document accompanies the goods and that the vehicle is properly equipped.

Limited quantities (LQ) and excepted quantities (EQ) have simplified documentation: LQ still needs a transport document with the UN number and the words 'limited quantity', EQ needs the EQ mark and a document with the UN number and 'excepted quantity'.

The transport document for Class 7 must include the radionuclide, activity, category of package, transport index and the competent authority approval where required.

Fire extinguishers: at least one 2 kg dry powder extinguisher for the engine and one 6 kg dry powder extinguisher (or equivalent) for the load; the 6 kg unit may be replaced by two 3 kg units, and the extinguishers must be inspected annually.

Vehicle marking: orange plates (30 x 40 cm) front and rear, with the UN number in the upper half and the hazard identification number (Kemler code) in the lower half; for tanks and bulk, the plates are supplemented by the hazard warning panel.

The orange plates must be removed or covered when the vehicle is empty and cleaned, or when the goods are no longer on board; they must not be displayed during carriage of goods not subject to ADR.

Additional equipment: wheel chocks, a warning triangle, a high-visibility vest, a torch, a first-aid kit, and for certain classes a shovel, a drain seal and a collecting container (e.g. for Class 3, 4.3, 8).

Vehicles carrying dangerous goods in tanks must meet the construction requirements of Chapter 9 (EX/II, EX/III, FL, OX, AT) and carry a certificate of approval for the vehicle type.

Class 7 vehicles must be marked with the Class 7 label on both sides and the rear, and the vehicle must have a certificate of approval from the competent authority; the transport index must be displayed where required.

The vehicle crew must have access to the instructions in writing, a means of communication, and the equipment must be stowed so it is accessible without disturbing the load.

Norway requires winter equipment (tyres suited to the season, chains where necessary) on specified routes; the vehicle must be equipped for the road and weather conditions of the route.

Mixed loading prohibitions are in 7.5.2: Class 1 goods of different compatibility groups may not be loaded together unless the table in 7.5.2.2 permits it; Class 4.1 and 5.1, and Class 3 and 5.1, have specific separation rules.

Class 1 goods must be segregated from other dangerous goods by a distance or a partition; the table in 7.5.2.2 gives the permitted combinations of compatibility groups.

Loading must ensure the load is secured against movement, that packages are not damaged, and that the load does not obstruct the driver's view or the vehicle's stability.

Packages must be loaded so that the labels are visible; where labels are not visible, the vehicle must display the appropriate orange plates and the load must be documented.

Foodstuffs and animal feed must be separated from toxic (6.1) and infectious (6.2) substances, and from goods that could contaminate them; this is a segregation requirement, not merely good practice.

Unloading must ensure that the vehicle is not left unattended while dangerous goods are on board, unless the load is secured and the vehicle is parked in a safe place; the parking rules are in 8.5.

Tank vehicles must be loaded within the filling limits (usually 85% to 95% depending on the substance) to allow for thermal expansion; overfilling is a serious breach.

Segregation from the driver's cab: goods that give off toxic or flammable vapours must not be loaded adjacent to the cab, and the load must be separated from the cab by a solid partition where required.

The driver must hold a valid ADR training certificate for the class of goods carried; the certificate is valid for 5 years and must be renewed by refresher training before expiry.

Driving bans and restrictions: the driver must not drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs, must observe speed limits, and must adapt speed to the load, road and weather conditions.

The vehicle must not be left unattended while dangerous goods are on board unless the load is secured and the vehicle is parked in a safe place; 'attended' means the driver is within sight and able to take action.

Parking: the vehicle must be parked away from dwellings, places of public assembly and busy roads where practicable; the parking brake must be applied and the wheels chocked where necessary.

The driver must carry the ADR certificate, the transport document, the instructions in writing, and the vehicle approval certificate, and must present them to the competent authority on request.

Supervision of the vehicle: the driver is responsible for the security of the load, must not leave the vehicle unlocked, and must report any incident, theft or loss to the emergency services and the competent authority.

The driver must know the emergency procedures in the instructions in writing and must be able to use the fire extinguishers and the spill kit.

Norway: the driver must observe the Norwegian road traffic act and the ADR-forskriften; the police and the Norwegian Public Roads Administration (Statens vegvesen) carry out roadside checks.

The instructions in writing (5.4.3) give the emergency procedures: the nature of the danger, protective actions, and the first aid measures for each class; they must be carried in the cab.

In the event of an incident, the driver must: stop the vehicle in a safe place, warn other traffic, notify the emergency services (110/112/113 in Norway), and use the fire extinguishers and spill kit if safe to do so.

First aid: remove the casualty from the hazard, ensure the airway, and call for medical help; do not attempt to neutralise corrosive substances on the skin with another chemical - flush with water.

The incident must be reported to the competent authority (in Norway, the Directorate for Civil Protection, DSB) and to the consignor; the report must include the UN number, the substance, the quantity and the circumstances.

Fire: for Class 3 and 5.1 fires, use dry powder or foam; for Class 4.3 (water-reactive) do not use water; for Class 2.1 (flammable gas) isolate and cool the cylinder from a distance.

Spillage: contain the spill with the drain seal and absorbent, prevent it entering drains or watercourses, and do not use water on water-reactive substances.

The driver must not re-enter the hazard area without protective equipment; the emergency services are responsible for the scene once they arrive, and the driver must provide the transport document and instructions in writing.

Norway: the emergency number is 110 for fire, 112 for police and 113 for medical; the DSB and the local fire service coordinate the response to dangerous goods incidents.

Tunnels are categorised A to E under ADR 1.9.5; category A has no restrictions, B restricts Class 1 and 7, C restricts Class 1, 2, 3, 4.3, 5.1, 6.1, 7, 8, D restricts most classes, and E restricts all dangerous goods except a limited list.

Norway has a national tunnel list in the ADR-forskriften; the driver must know the category of the tunnel on the route and the restrictions that apply to the goods carried.

The tunnel restriction code is shown in column 15 of Table A; the code (e.g. B1000C, C5000D) gives the permitted tunnel categories and the maximum quantity per transport unit.

Route restrictions: the driver must follow the route prescribed by the competent authority for Class 1 and Class 7, and must avoid populated areas where practicable.

Norway: the ADR-forskriften (FOR-2015-12-01-1425) implements ADR and adds national provisions, including tunnel restrictions and requirements for the transport of dangerous goods in tanks.

The driver must carry a map or route plan showing the tunnel categories on the route, and must be able to show it to the competent authority on request.

The tunnel restriction code and the quantity limits must be checked before departure; exceeding the limit for a tunnel requires an alternative route.

Norway: the Public Roads Administration publishes the tunnel list and the restrictions; the driver must observe the signs at the tunnel entrance indicating the category and the restrictions.

Tank transport: the tank must be of a UN type-tested design, marked with the tank code and the UN number, and must have a valid inspection certificate; periodic inspections are at intervals not exceeding 2.5, 5 or 10 years depending on the tank type.

Filling limits for tanks: the maximum filling ratio must leave an ullage of at least 2% for liquids with a flash point below 55 °C, and 5% for other liquids, to allow for thermal expansion.

Tank vehicles must have a certificate of approval (Chapter 9) and must meet the construction requirements for the class carried (FL for flammable liquids, OX for oxidizers, AT for tanks).

Class 7: packages are categorised I-White, II-Yellow and III-Yellow according to the transport index and surface dose rate; the category label and the transport index must be shown on the package and the transport document.

Class 7: the transport index (TI) is the maximum dose rate at 1 m from the package surface in mSv/h, multiplied by 100; the sum of the TIs must not exceed the limits for the vehicle (usually 10 for exclusive use, 200 for a vehicle with a certificate of approval).

Class 7: the vehicle must have a certificate of approval, the driver must be trained, and the vehicle must be marked with the Class 7 label; the transport document must show the radionuclide, activity and category.

Class 7: exclusive use means the vehicle is used only for the carriage of radioactive material and the load is secured; the driver must be provided with a dosimeter and the dose must be recorded.

Norway: the transport of Class 7 requires approval from the Norwegian Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority (DSA) in addition to the ADR requirements, and the driver must carry the approval document.

The UN Manual of Tests and Criteria provides the test methods for classification; the results determine the class, division and packing group.

Substances not listed by name in Table A must be classified by the consignor using the criteria in Part 2 and assigned a generic or 'N.O.S.' entry with the appropriate special provisions.

Solutions and mixtures containing a listed substance may be carried under the listed entry if the concentration is within the limits of the special provision (e.g. 274, 640).

Class 2 gases are divided into compressed, liquefied, dissolved and refrigerated liquefied; the division depends on the critical temperature and the pressure.

Class 6.2 infectious substances are assigned to Category A or B; Category A is a substance capable of causing permanent disability or life-threatening disease, and Category B is an infectious substance not meeting Category A criteria.

Class 7 radioactive material is classified by the activity concentration and the total activity; the radionuclide values are in the table in 2.2.7.2.2.1.

Class 9 includes substances and articles not covered by other classes, such as lithium batteries, environmentally hazardous substances and genetically modified micro-organisms.

The classification code in column 4 of Table A gives the subdivision (e.g. F1, F2 for Class 3; C1 to C4 for Class 8) and determines the packing instruction and tank code.

The packing instruction in column 8 of Table A must be followed; it specifies the permitted packaging types and the special packing provisions (PP-codes) that apply.

Packaging must be tested to the UN performance level for the packing group: X for PG I, Y for PG II and Z for PG III; the mark shows the packing group letter.

The UN packaging mark is: UN symbol, packaging code, packing group letter, year of manufacture, state authorising the mark, and the manufacturer's code; it must be legible and durable.

Labels must be durable, legible and placed on the package so they are visible; they must not be obscured by other labels or by the packaging.

For Class 7, the package must bear the appropriate category label (I-White, II-Yellow, III-Yellow) and the transport index; the label must show the radionuclide and activity where required.

Tanks and IBCs must be inspected and tested before first use and at intervals thereafter; the inspection certificate must be kept on the vehicle or with the tank.

Packages containing liquids must be packed with absorbent material and orientation arrows; the closure must be secure and the package must withstand the drop test.

Salvage packagings and salvage pressure receptacles are permitted for damaged, defective or leaking packages under the conditions of 4.1.1.19 and must be marked 'SALVAGE'.

The transport document may be replaced by an electronic document if it can be produced immediately and is acceptable to the competent authority; a paper copy must be available on request.

The consignor must provide the carrier with the transport document and the instructions in writing; the carrier must ensure the driver has them before departure.

The transport document must show the total quantity of dangerous goods per transport category and, for LQ and EQ, the words 'limited quantity' or 'excepted quantity'.

The instructions in writing must be in a language the driver can read; Norway accepts Norwegian, and the document must include the emergency numbers and the first aid measures.

The transport document for tanks must show the tank number, the capacity and the name of the tank operator; for empty uncleaned tanks, the words 'empty, uncleaned' must be added.

The transport document must be kept for at least 3 months by the carrier and the consignor, and must be available to the competent authority on request.

For Class 1, the transport document must show the compatibility group and the net explosive mass; for Class 7, the radionuclide, activity and category.

The driver's ADR training certificate must be carried and must show the classes and the tank code for which the driver is trained; the certificate is valid for 5 years.

The load must not obstruct the driver's view, the doors, the fire extinguishers or the emergency exits; the driver must be able to leave the cab quickly.

Goods that could react dangerously together must not be loaded in the same vehicle unless separated by a distance or a partition; the segregation rules are in 7.5.2.

Unloading must be carried out so that the goods are not damaged and the vehicle is not left unattended while dangerous goods are on board.

The filling limit for tanks and IBCs must be observed; overfilling can cause the tank to rupture or the load to leak.

Foodstuffs must be separated from toxic and infectious substances; the separation must be effective and must be maintained during the journey.

The driver must adapt speed to the load, the road and the weather; a vehicle carrying dangerous goods has a longer braking distance and a higher centre of gravity.

The driver must not smoke or use a naked flame near the vehicle, and must not allow others to do so.

The driver must not leave the vehicle unattended while the engine is running or the load is not secured; the parking brake must be applied and the wheels chocked.

The driver must keep the vehicle under supervision when it is parked in a public place; if the vehicle must be left, the load must be secured and the vehicle locked.

The driver must report any incident, accident or theft to the emergency services and the competent authority, and must not move the vehicle unless it is safe to do so.

The driver must know the tunnel restrictions on the route and must not enter a tunnel if the goods are prohibited or the quantity exceeds the limit.

Tunnel categories: A (no restriction), B (restriction for Class 1 and 7), C (restriction for Class 1, 2, 3, 4.3, 5.1, 6.1, 7, 8), D (restriction for most classes), E (restriction for all dangerous goods except a limited list).

The tunnel restriction code in column 15 of Table A gives the permitted categories and the quantity limits; the code must be checked before departure.

Norway: the tunnel list is published by Statens vegvesen and is included in the ADR-forskriften; the driver must know the category of each tunnel on the route.

The driver must follow the route prescribed for Class 1 and Class 7 and must avoid populated areas where practicable.

The driver must carry a map or route plan showing the tunnel categories and must be able to show it to the competent authority.

Norway: the ADR-forskriften (FOR-2015-12-01-1425) implements ADR and adds national provisions, including tunnel restrictions and requirements for tank transport.

The signs at the tunnel entrance indicate the category and the restrictions; the driver must observe them and must not enter a tunnel if the goods are prohibited.

The quantity limits for tunnels are per transport unit; exceeding the limit requires an alternative route or a reduction of the load.

Tanks must be of a UN type-tested design and must have a valid inspection certificate; the periodic inspection intervals are 2.5, 5 or 10 years depending on the tank type.

The filling limit for tanks must leave an ullage of at least 2% for liquids with a flash point below 55 °C and 5% for other liquids, to allow for thermal expansion.

Tank vehicles must meet the construction requirements of Chapter 9 (FL, OX, AT) and must have a certificate of approval from the competent authority.

Class 7: packages are categorised I-White, II-Yellow and III-Yellow according to the transport index and the surface dose rate; the category label must be on the package.

Class 7: the transport index is the maximum dose rate at 1 m from the package surface in mSv/h multiplied by 100; the sum of the TIs must not exceed the vehicle limits.

Class 7: the vehicle must have a certificate of approval, the driver must be trained, and the vehicle must be marked with the Class 7 label.

Class 7: exclusive use means the vehicle is used only for radioactive material and the load is secured; the driver must carry a dosimeter and the dose must be recorded.

Norway: the transport of Class 7 requires approval from the DSA in addition to the ADR requirements, and the driver must carry the approval document.

ADR applies to the international carriage of dangerous goods by road between Contracting Parties; it does not apply to carriage by rail, sea or air, which have their own regulations (RID, IMDG, ICAO).

The Agreement has two Annexes: Annex A (Parts 1-4) and Annex B (Parts 5-9); the Parts are further divided into chapters, sections and subsections.

The scope exclusions in 1.1.2 include carriage by private individuals for personal use, carriage by the armed forces, and carriage under national emergency measures.

The exemptions in 1.1.3 include the 1.1.3.6 quantity limit (1000 points), the carriage of gases for breathing apparatus, and the carriage of machinery not containing dangerous goods in the fuel lines.

The 1.1.3.6 quantity limit uses the multiplier factors for transport categories: category 0 (no limit, not permitted), 1 (x50), 2 (x3), 3 (x1), 4 (x1 for some).

Multilateral agreements (M-numbers) and bilateral agreements permit deviations from ADR for a limited period and must be carried in the vehicle when used.

Special provisions in Chapter 3.3 modify the application of the Agreement for specific UN numbers and override general rules where they conflict.

The ADR is amended every two years; the current edition is the 2023 ADR, and the next edition is the 2025 ADR.

ADR is the European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road, concluded at Geneva in 1957 and administered under UNECE.

Annex A contains Parts 1-4; Annex B contains Parts 5-9; the Parts are divided into chapters, sections and subsections.

ADR does not apply to carriage by private individuals for personal use, carriage by the armed forces, or carriage under national emergency measures.

The 1.1.3.6 quantity limit sums the product of quantity and the multiplier factor for each transport category (0, 1, 2, 3, 4).

Multilateral agreements (M-numbers) and bilateral agreements permit deviations from ADR for a limited period and must be carried in the vehicle.

ADR applies to carriage between Contracting Parties; purely domestic Norwegian carriage is governed by the ADR-forskriften, which largely mirrors ADR.

Special provisions in Chapter 3.3 modify the application of the Agreement for specific UN numbers and override general rules where they conflict.

The ADR is amended every two years; the current edition is the 2023 ADR, and the next edition is the 2025 ADR.

Nine classes: 1 explosives, 2 gases, 3 flammable liquids, 4.1/4.2/4.3 flammable solids, 5.1/5.2 oxidizers and organic peroxides, 6.1/6.2 toxic and infectious substances, 7 radioactive, 8 corrosives, 9 miscellaneous.

Packing groups I, II and III apply to classes 3, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 5.1, 6.1, 8 and 9; the packing group is assigned by the criteria in Part 2.

Class 3 flammable liquids have a flash point not exceeding 60 °C; highly flammable liquids have an initial boiling point of 35 °C or less and a flash point below 23 °C.

Table A of Chapter 3.2 has 20 columns; Table B is an alphabetical index of proper shipping names linked to UN numbers.

Subsidiary hazards are shown in column 5 and require additional labels; the primary hazard determines the class.

Substances not listed by name must be classified by the consignor using the criteria in Part 2 and assigned a generic or N.O.S. entry.

Class 6.2 infectious substances are assigned to Category A or B; Category A is capable of causing permanent disability or life-threatening disease.

The classification code in column 4 gives the subdivision (e.g. F1, F2 for Class 3; C1 to C4 for Class 8).

The packing instruction in column 8 of Table A must be followed; it specifies the permitted packaging types and the special packing provisions (PP-codes).

Packaging must be tested to the UN performance level for the packing group: X for PG I, Y for PG II and Z for PG III.

The UN packaging mark shows the UN symbol, packaging code, packing group letter, year of manufacture, state authorising the mark and the manufacturer's code.

Labels must be durable, legible and placed so they are visible; they must not be obscured by other labels or by the packaging.

For Class 7, the package must bear the category label (I-White, II-Yellow, III-Yellow) and the transport index.

Salvage packagings are permitted for damaged, defective or leaking packages under 4.1.1.19 and must be marked 'SALVAGE'.

The transport document must contain the UN number, proper shipping name, class, packing group, number and description of packages, total quantity, and the consignor and consignee.

For tanks and bulk, the document must show the tank number and the name of the tank operator; for empty uncleaned tanks, the words 'empty, uncleaned' must be added.

The transport document must be in the language of the country of origin and in another ADR language if the carriage crosses borders.

The instructions in writing (5.4.3) must be carried in the cab and be in a language the driver can read; they cover the nature of the danger, protective actions and first aid.

The transport document must be accompanied by the certificate of approval for Class 1 and Class 7, the tank inspection certificate and the driver's ADR certificate.

The consignor is responsible for the accuracy of the transport document; the carrier must ensure it accompanies the goods.

Limited quantities still need a transport document with the UN number and the words 'limited quantity'; excepted quantities need the EQ mark and a document with the UN number.

The transport document for Class 7 must include the radionuclide, activity, category of package, transport index and the competent authority approval where required.

Fire extinguishers: at least one 2 kg dry powder extinguisher for the engine and one 6 kg dry powder extinguisher for the load; the 6 kg unit may be replaced by two 3 kg units.

The orange plates (30 x 40 cm) must be displayed front and rear, with the UN number in the upper half and the hazard identification number in the lower half.

The orange plates must be removed or covered when the vehicle is empty and cleaned, or when the goods are no longer on board.

Additional equipment: wheel chocks, a warning triangle, a high-visibility vest, a torch, a first-aid kit, and for certain classes a shovel, a drain seal and a collecting container.
