ADR (formally, the European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR)) is a 1957 United Nations treaty that governs transnational transport of hazardous materials. "ADR" is derived from the French name for the treaty: ''Accord européen relatif au transport international des marchandises Dangereuses par Route''). Concluded in Geneva on 30 September 1957 under the aegis of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe, it entered into force on 29 January 1968. The agreement was modified (article 14, paragraph 3) in New York on 21 August 1975, though these changes only took effect on 19 April 1985. A new amended ADR 2011 entered into force on 1 January 2011.〔(Full 2011 ADR Agreement )〕 As of 2013, 48 states are party to ADR. ==Contents== The agreement itself is brief and simple, and its most important article is article 2. This article states that with the exception of certain exceptionally dangerous materials, hazardous materials may in general be transported internationally in wheeled vehicles, provided that two sets of conditions be met: # Annex A regulates the merchandise involved, notably their packaging and labels. # Annex B regulates the construction, equipment, and use of vehicles for the transport of hazardous materials.
