To deliver chemicals but no more than 1000 lts although some 1000 lits weigh in well over a ton
such as caustic / hypo / acid what adr licence group do you need to take
been on the hse website and a few others its a minefield !
I no you don’t need 1 and 7 but the rest are confusing
I think you’d need to do “core” & class 8 but if you’ve the time & the money, you might as well do classes 2,3,4,5,6,8 & 9 + packages & maybe tanks as well.
ABB.
PM dieseldave, it’s his specialist subject, as he’s an ADR trainer and a DGSA, and general good chap.

Hi greatdane,
The 1,000 you’ve mentioned relates to litres if the stuff is a liquid, OR it relates to kgs if the stuff is a solid.
The actual weight of a liquid isn’t relevant in ADR, but you can’t ignore it when it comes to considering axle weights and GVW.
The 1,000 exemption doesn’t apply to all dangerous goods though.
For some substances, the exemption limit is 333kg/ltrs.
For other substances, the exemption is only 20kg/ltrs.
The exemption depends on how dangerous the substance is.

From the info you’ve given, your minimum ADR licence would be:
Core + Packages + UN Class 8
