ADR Dangerous Goods Transport Documentation

ADR Dangerous Goods Transport EU Compliance

Overview

Draft and validate transport documentation for the carriage of dangerous goods by road under ADR. Covers transport document §5.4.1, packing certificate, emergency information, and instructions in writing.

Example Conversation

You: We need an ADR transport document for UN 1266 (e.g. paint): consignor/consignee, UN number, PSN, class, packing group, tunnel restriction code, and instructions in writing for the driver.

Agent: I’ll draft the transport document using the ADR §5.4.1 checklist and template, then run adr_transport_doc_validator to verify all mandatory fields.

Agent: Created adr-transport-doc.md. Running adr_transport_doc_validator…

Agent: FAIL — tunnel and instructions_writing missing. I’ve added tunnel restriction code (D/E) and a reference to the standard instructions in writing provided to the vehicle crew. Re-running…

Agent: PASS — all ADR §5.4.1 mandatory fields are present. Document is ready for use with the shipment.

What the Tools Validate

adr_transport_doc_validator scans the ADR transport document:

Mandatory fields (ADR §5.4.1): Consignor/consignee, UN number (4-digit format), proper shipping name (PSN), class, packing group (I/II/III), tunnel restriction code, instructions in writing reference. Environmentally hazardous marking if applicable.
Rule: All mandatory fields must be present; UN number in valid format.
Output: PASS if all elements are present; FAIL with a list of missing fields. Add content and re-run until PASS.
