Major Similarities and Differences in the Civil And Military Aspects of the Transport of Dangerous Goods

Abstract

2017 is considered a jubilee in several respects. Firstly, ADR (International Road Transport of Dangerous Goods) – proclaimed 30 September 1957 – became 60 years old, and secondly, the UN-ECE Internal Transport Committee celebrated its 70th birthday. On this occasion, I considered it fitting to write a separate article reviewing the 2017 changes in ADR, and further exploring the military aspects of the regulation of hazardous freight transport, in accordance with my research field.
