European Communities (Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road and Use of Transportable Pressure Equipment) Regulations 2011 (S.I. No. 349 of 2011).

These Regulations transpose again into Irish law Directive 2008/68/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of on the inland transport of dangerous goods insofar as that Directive relates to the carriage of dangerous goods by road and the European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR). The Regulations apply to the transport by road, in tanks, in bulk and in packages, of dangerous goods, including the packing, loading, filling and unloading of the dangerous goods in relation to their carriage. They contain requirements for the vehicles, tanks, tank containers, receptacles and packages containing the dangerous goods during their transport. The Regulations and ADR require that the drivers, and others involved in the transport by road of the dangerous goods, be adequately trained and, in the case of drivers, hold certificates of such training. The Regulations also contain provisions on an EU harmonised approach to the road checks aspect of their enforcement.
