Rank: Super forum user		It's been some time since I had anything to do with carriage of dangerous goods (lucky me) and now I need to get back into it (but not too deeply). I see that the CDG Regs in their current form refer to ADR "as revised or reissued from time to time". HSE refer to ADR 2017. But on the UN website I see that ADR 2019 has come and gone and there is now ADR 2021. I'm not sure whether Brexit has changed things here in Great Britain. Can anyone enlighten me as to which is the right version of ADR to refer to please?

Rank: Super forum user		OK, so it's a case of referring to the most recent version in force? Is there any particular reason HSE would still be referring to ADR 2017 or have they just not got round to updating their website? Meanwhile I notice that HMG have a link to ADR 2019 at their page https://www.gov.uk/shipping-dangerous-goods/transporting-limited-quantities

Rank: Super forum user		ADR 2017 on the HSE website appears to be the last time they bothered making reference to changes affecting The Carriage of Dangerous Goods and Use of Transportable Pressure Equipment Regulations 2009. Think HM Gov may have been a bit busy when they should have been updating from 2019 to 2021. ADR like other dangerous goods regulation (AND - canals & waterways, IMDG - maritime, IATA/ICAO - air, OTIF - rail) is updated every two years.

Rank: Super forum user		…and ADR has nothing to do with the EU. It is driven by a UN treaty and is managed by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE). So if we decide to cut ourselves off from the world entirely, we can probably get rid of it, otherwise we still need to follow its requirements.
