Basics of the ADR 1000-point rule 

In European dangerous-goods transport, the so-called 1000-point rule under ADR 1.1.3.6 is often applied. It serves to transport certain smaller quantities of dangerous goods under simplified regulations. 

Whether the rule can be applied depends on the transport category, the substance class, and the transported quantity. 

 

Why the calculation is relevant 

Even small differences in quantity or category can mean that the full ADR regulations apply. This changes the requirements for vehicle equipment, marking, documentation, and driver qualification. 

Particularly for mixed shipments with several dangerous-goods items, the calculation is important to classify the transport correctly. 

 

Which data are needed for the assessment 

For an ADR assessment, the UN number, the dangerous-goods class, the transport category, and the actual quantity are required, among other things. This information usually comes from safety data sheets or the official ADR table.
