The European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road is a crucial initiative aimed at enhancing the safety of international transport of hazardous materials via road. Since its inception, this agreement has undergone regular amendments and updates to ensure its relevance and effectiveness. It serves as a comprehensive framework that outlines the conditions under which dangerous goods can be transported across borders.

This particular version has been prepared with the implementation of amendments effective from January 1, 2019, in mind. It includes significant revisions and additions, particularly in relation to the transportation of adsorbed gases, lithium batteries (including damaged or defective batteries), asymmetric capacitors, discarded packagings, ammonium nitrate, radioactive material, gas cartridge and fuel cell cartridge testing, bundle marking, and the application of ISO standards to the manufacture of new pressure receptacles or service equipment.

By implementing these measures, the European Agreement seeks to minimize the risks associated with the transport of dangerous goods, ensuring the protection of people, property, and the environment. It plays a vital role in facilitating the smooth and secure movement of hazardous materials across international borders, contributing to global trade and economic growth while upholding the highest safety standards.
