Dangerous goods transports - examinations of dangerous goods drivers Application for approval (including ADR certificate)
Service Description
Dangerous goods can only be transported by road under certain conditions. The transport of dangerous goods is regulated by the Dangerous Goods Ordinance for Road, Rail and Inland Navigation (GGVSEB) and the European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (abbreviation ADR, French for Accord européen relatif au transport international des marchandises dangereuses par route).
Vehicle drivers transporting dangerous goods by road must always be in possession of an ADR certificate (as defined in 8.2.1 ADR).
ADR certificate:
The ADR certificate is issued to you after successful participation in a training course at a recognized organizer and subsequent passing of an examination by the Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK) and is limited to 5 years. The examination is conducted by the IHK and is taken in writing. A prerequisite for the examination is the complete participation in a training course recognized by the IHK. Admission to the examination for an advanced course can only be granted if the participant has previously passed the examination for the basic course. For the renewal of the ADR certificate, which is again limited in time, an advanced training course must be attended and an examination must be passed. The validity date of the ADR certificate is extended by five years if passed.
Who should I contact?
Contact your Chamber of Industry and Commerce. The IHK approves the courses for training dangerous goods drivers, conducts the examinations and issues the ADR certificates. The training courses can be held at a recognized training organizer.
Which documents are required?
