Transport of dangerous goods

The Carriage of Dangerous Goods and Use of Transportable Pressure Equipment Regulations 2009 (CDG 2009) were amended in 2011 to reflect changes to the EU Transportable Pressure Equipment Directive. The regulations, together with a European agreement commonly known as the Accord Européen Relatif au Transport International des Marchandises Dangereuses par Route (ADR), regulate the carriage of dangerous goods by road. There are also regulations covering the international carriage of dangerous goods by rail commonly known as RID.
