Dave thanks very much for the answer
Its a shame really that this is not explained to the driver before he/she finds stuff like this is the trailer
At least I know for the future 
As Dave mentioned above, the main thing I remember from my ADR course was along the lines of “It’s not upto you - it’s not your job” for most questions regarding ‘is this adr?’…
Literally, if a company told you to take a tanker full of petrol, and told you it wasn’t ADR, you’d be ok, the company’d DGSA would be the one in prison hoping the soap is on a string 
Feel free to correct me Dave or anyone else of course…

Hmmm, the plot thickens. Seems Mr Y has chosen to delete the story.

Hi Wayne,
You’re just about spot-on there mate. 
The only part that’s not quite correct is the bit about the DGSA, because a DGSA’s remit is to advise the various participants on ADR compliance.
Whether the participants actually appoint a DGSA and follow his/her advice is up to them, but in any case ADR says that the participants are still responsible.
