— ADR COURIER UK
Many businesses attempt to send dangerous goods through general parcel couriers, often unaware that the goods require ADR certification. Standard courier networks are not equipped for hazardous goods delivery; drivers are not ADR trained, vehicles do not carry the required safety equipment, and the documentation requirements are not met.
In the event of an incident, the sender, the carrier, and the driver can all face prosecution. Our ADR courier service eliminates this risk entirely.
All of our drivers are ADR certified, every vehicle is compliant, and every consignment is accompanied by the correct dangerous goods documentation. For businesses that need urgent or regular hazardous goods delivery without the risk of non-compliance, our ADR courier services provide a reliable, certified, and fully documented transport service across the UK.

— WHAT IS AN ADR COURIER?
An ADR courier is a courier or delivery driver who holds a valid ADR vocational training certificate, the qualification required by law to transport dangerous goods by road in the UK. ADR stands for Accord Dangereux Routier, the European Agreement Concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road. It is the primary regulatory framework governing the carriage of dangerous goods by road across the UK and Europe.
Not all couriers are ADR certified. Standard parcel couriers and general haulage companies are not equipped, trained, or legally permitted to carry dangerous goods unless they hold the correct ADR certification. Using a non-ADR courier to transport hazardous waste or goods, including chemicals, batteries, gases, flammable liquids, or corrosive substances, is a criminal offence under UK law, regardless of whether the goods are packaged correctly.
Our ADR courier service provides the full compliance package: ADR certified drivers, ADR-compliant vehicles and correct dangerous goods documentation.

— FAQs
An ADR courier is a courier driver who holds a valid ADR vocational training certificate, the qualification required to transport dangerous goods by road in the UK. ADR stands for Accord Dangereux Routier, the European Agreement Concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road. An ADR certified courier is legally authorised to carry dangerous goods including chemicals, batteries, gases, flammable liquids, and other hazardous materials, provided the goods are correctly classified, packaged, labelled, and documented.
No. Standard parcel couriers and general delivery services are not equipped or legally authorised to carry dangerous goods unless they hold ADR certification. Sending dangerous goods through a non-ADR courier is a criminal offence under UK law. Only couriers with ADR-certified drivers, compliant vehicles, and appropriate documentation processes should be used for hazardous goods delivery. Our entire courier operation is built around ADR compliance.
An ADR certified courier can carry all classes of dangerous goods for which the driver holds the relevant ADR endorsement, subject to the goods being correctly classified, packaged, labelled, and documented. Goods including chemicals, batteries, gases, flammable liquids, corrosive substances, toxic materials, and miscellaneous dangerous goods such as lithium batteries all fall within our ADR courier service scope.
If your goods are classified as dangerous goods under the ADR regulations, that is, if they have a UN number and an ADR hazard class, they require an ADR certified courier when transported by road. Common goods that require ADR courier transport include paints and solvents (Class 3), aerosols (Class 2), cleaning chemicals and acids (Class 8), batteries including lithium-ion batteries (Class 9), and pesticides (Class 6). If you are unsure whether your goods require ADR transport, check Section 14 of the Safety Data Sheet, or contact our team for advice.
