That’s all very variable just now brit pete, and is done on a tunnel by tunnel basis under the appropriate national regulations.
However, there are plans afoot to standardise the rules in all ADR signatory countries for vehicles carring ADR regulated “stuff” through tunnels. As we’re all aware, the different countries work at different speeds, so it might be a while until everybody is in step 
Countries like Switzerland, Austria and Italy might take a bit longer than Luxembourg, due to the sheer amount of work that the authorities have to do to comply with ADR’s requirements. They have to decide which category each tunnel belongs to. IMHO, that’s the reason for a phasing-in period in excess of 2 years. To be fair, this has been on the cards for some time as a result of the Mt Blanc and St Gottard tunnel fires. The details were published in ADR 2007, which came into force on 01/01/07.
From 01/07/2007 there have been 5 categories of tunnels, which are called A, B, C, D and E. Each of the 3,200ish dangerous goods have been allocated into one of these tunnel categories and there will be some new road signs appearing, which will advise of the category of tunnel ahead. These road signs MUST be placed at a point on the road where a suitable diversion is possible. (ADR 1.9.5 and 8.6)
For now, any info about tunnels can only apply until 31/12/2009 “at the very latest.” (ADR 1.6.1.12)
Your Gefahrgutbeauftragte will advise.
Note to Moderator:
“Gefahrgutbeauftragte” is the German word for “DGSA.” TBH, I prefer their title to the awful translation 
[The Germans only need one word for this whereas we need four 
and IMHO, is far more accurate]
Diesildave, you are correct about the new regulations that are comeing in
but, these will take in some cases longer than the time limit
you have mentioned,as certain countrys in the EU ,will take
much longer, than others to change over to the new system,
However we still have in many countrys different rules for
tunnels and in many cases these are and will be enforced
so until the system which starts in 2009 gets under way, this info,
will be needed,by those who travel abroad,

I agree 101% with you brit pete, I’m already Gefahrgutbeauftragte and ADR Lehrer, so I always have the current ADR, RID, IMDG and IATA.
Since I’m also very interested in German, I’ve got GGVSE, StVO and BkatV for bedtime reading. 
I got those from the German Ministry of Justice, so I guess that you can get them too, If you are interested. If you have difficulty, please ask and I’ll PM the links to you Otherwise, I could send them to you as .pdf, if you PM me an email address. They are only available in German at the moment, and the website says that Langenscheidt will provide translations in Feb 2008, so my own translation will have to do for now
As for the other countries, your info seems to be spot-on and I’m sure that it’s very helpful for the guys doing the job out there. You and I can help to keep the guys out of problems with the police I also share your observation that all of the ADR countries might not be ready in time for the new system for tunnels.

I’ll stick to “Jim Knopf und Lukas der Lokomotivführer” for my bedtime reading, thank you very much 
I’d like to read “Lukas” he sounds a fun guy.
I also have “Märchen der Brüder Grimm.”
