Dangerous goods transport — regulatory overview

- ADR
- RID
- ICAO-TI
- Primary authority
- Ministry of Transport
- Also available in

In short
Dangerous-goods transport follows ADR, RID and ICAO-TI and national rules; Class 1 movements generally require separate approval and route or terminal confirmation.
Road carriage follows ADR and rail carriage follows RID, while air consignments use ICAO-TI through national law; there is no domestic sea leg. Class 1 requires explosives-law approval, and operators must check tunnel categories, border routes, escorts and terminal acceptance before dispatch. The named primary authority is Ministry of Transport; shipment-specific permits and current operational acceptance should be verified before booking.
What governs each mode
- Road ADR
- Rail RID
- Air ICAO-TI
Derived from the frameworks named above. A mode absent from this list is not necessarily closed — it means the sheet does not record a framework governing it here, which is itself worth asking about.
