To operate equipment simular to what this lorry has?

Thanks.

Not unless the crap you are sucking up is radio active! :laughing:

Seriously though ADR is for dangerous liquids/solids, and you may have seen on the back of some tankers ‘non-hazordous’, which waste water comes under, so no ADR licence required.

Anything hazardous will have an orange rectangular board on the front and rear.

Hi Dusty321, ADR regulates the carriage of dangerous goods, so you wouldn’t need an ADR licence for that type of load.

Did you think you needed ADR just because it's a tanker? Many people think that mate, and you wouldn't be the first :wink: , but there are many different types of tankers that can be driven by a person who doesn't hold an ADR licence. I hope that helps. :smiley:

Hi Smart Mart, The ‘non-hazardous’ markings on white boards are a voluntary tanker marking system for ‘stuff’ that isn’t dangerous enough to be regulated as a dangerous substance, but which may exhibit dangerous behaviour or present a pollution risk in the event of a fire or spillage.
For example:

For the Fire-Brigade, the 3Z means:
Use a breathing apparatus;
Use foam or dry powder to extinguish a fire;
No danger of spontaneous violent reaction in contact with water;
Do not allow this ‘stuff’ to enter a watercourse or drain. (Contain.)

Hi 8wheels, as you’ve written it, that would indicate that a vehicle is carrying dangerous goods in excess of certain ‘freebie’ limits in packages.
Under UK dangerous goods Regs, a UK registered tanker carrying dangerous goods on a UK domestic journey is required to display an ‘orange-coloured plate’ (40cm X 30cm) on the front and ‘hazard warning panels’ (70cm X 40cm) on both sides and the rear, something like these:

For an inernational journey under ADR Regs, the tanker marking system is quite different.
