ADR 2008 Vehicle Safety Legislation

As suppliers of fire extinguishers for the haulage industry,we are often asked to clarify the law regarding exactly what fire extinguishers are required on trucks.

In this factsheet we cover the current requirements for additional safety equipment on vehicles carrying certain dangerous goods. Whereas these requirements previously applied only to new vehicles - effective from 1st January 2008 all ADR vehicles must comply.

The ADR 2008 Vehicle Safety Factsheet includes

• The Requirements

Sample Extract

ADR vehicles over 7.5 tonnes will be required to carry extra fire extinguisher capacity up to a total minimum of 12kg dry powder (or equivalent). This is up from the previous total of 8kg. These vehicles must have a minimum of a 2kg in cab extinguisher, which counts toward the total load space extinguisher capacity of 12kg. One extinguisher must be at least 6kg.
