EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 

In  the  context  of  a  people’s  Europe,  the  Commission  attaches  great  importance  to 
simplifying  and  clarifying  Community  law  so  as  to  make  it  clearer  and  more 
accessible to the ordinary citizen, thus giving him new opportunities and the chance 
to make use of the specific rights it gives him. 

This aim cannot be achieved so long as numerous provisions that have been amended 
several times, often quite substantially, remain scattered, so that they must be sought 
partly  in  the  original  instrument  and  partly  in  later  amending  ones.  Considerable 
research work, comparing many different instruments, is thus needed to identify the 
current rules. 

For  this  reason  a  codification  of  rules  that  have  frequently  been  amended  is  also 
essential if Community law is to be clear and transparent. 

On  1  April  1987  the  Commission  therefore  decided1  to  instruct  its  staff  that  all 
legislative acts should be codified after no more than ten amendments, stressing that 
this  is  a  minimum  requirement  and  that  departments  should  endeavour  to  codify  at 
even  shorter  intervals  the  texts  for  which  they  are  responsible,  to  ensure  that  the 
Community rules are clear and readily understandable. 

the  Edinburgh  European  Council 
The  Conclusions  of 
(December 1992) confirmed this2, stressing the importance of codification as it offers 
certainty as to the law applicable to a given matter at a given time. 

the  Presidency  of 

Codification  must  be  undertaken  in  full  compliance  with  the  normal  Community 
legislative procedure. 

Given  that  no  changes  of  substance  may  be  made  to  the  instruments  affected  by 
codification, the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission have agreed, 
by  an  interinstitutional  agreement  dated  20  December  1994,  that  an  accelerated 
procedure may be used for the fast-track adoption of codification instruments. 

is 

this  proposal 

The  purpose  of 
to  undertake  a  codification  of  Council 
Directive 95/50/EC  of  6  October  1995  on  uniform  procedures  for  checks  on  the 
transport of dangerous goods by road3. The new Directive will supersede the various 
acts  incorporated  in  it4;  this  proposal  fully  preserves  the  content  of  the  acts  being 
codified  and  hence  does  no  more  than  bring  them  together  with  only  such  formal 
amendments as are required by the codification exercise itself. 

COM(87) 868 PV. 
See Annex 3 to Part A of the Conclusions. 
Carried out pursuant to the Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament and the 
Council – Codification of the Acquis communautaire, COM(2001) 645 final.

The codification proposal was drawn up on the basis of a preliminary consolidation, 
in  all  official  languages,  of  Directive  95/50/EC  and  the  instruments  amending  it, 
carried out by the Office for Official Publications of the European Communities, by 
means  of  a  data-processing  system.  Where  the  Articles  have  been  given  new 
numbers,  the  correlation  between  the  old and  the  new  numbers  is  shown  in  a  table 
contained in Annex V to the codified Directive.

It is necessary to ⌦ maintain ⌫ a list of infringements deemed sufficiently serious 
by  all  Member  States  to  result  in  the  application  to  the  vehicles  concerned  of 
appropriate  measures  depending  on  the  circumstances  or  the  requirements  of  safety, 
including,  where  appropriate,  refusal  to  admit  the  vehicles  concerned  to  the 
Community. 

(cid:208) 95/50/EC 

In  order  to  improve  compliance  with  safety  standards  for  the  transport  of  dangerous 
goods  by  road,  it  is  necessary  to  make  provision  for  checks  to  be  carried  out  in 
undertakings  as  a  preventive  measure  or  when  serious  infringements  of  laws  on  the 
transport of dangerous goods have been recorded at the roadside. 

The  checks  in  question  should  apply  to  all  consignments  of  dangerous  goods 
transported  by  road  wholly  or  partly  within  the  territory  of  the  Member  States, 
irrespective of the point of departure or the destination of the goods or the country in 
which the vehicle is registered. 

(10) 

In  the  event  of  serious  or  repeated  infringements,  the  competent  authorities  of  the 
Member  State  in  which  the  vehicle  is  registered  or  in  which  the  undertaking  is 
established  may  be  asked  to  take  appropriate  measures  and  they  should  inform  the 
requesting Member State of any follow-up measures taken. 

(11)  The  application  of  this  Directive  should  be  monitored  on  the  basis  of  a  report  to  be 

submitted by the Commission. 

(12)  The measures necessary for the implementation of this Directive should be adopted in 
accordance  with  Council  Decision  1999/468/EC  of  28  June  1999  laying  down  the 
procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission13.

dangerous  goods  by  road  in  vehicles  travelling  in  their  territory  or  entering  it  from  a  third 
country. 

It shall not apply to the transport of dangerous goods by vehicles belonging to or under the 
responsibility of the armed forces. 

2. This Directive shall not affect the Member States' right, with due regard to Community law, 
to carry out checks on the national and international transport of dangerous goods within their 
territories performed by vehicles not covered by this Directive. 

For the purposes of this Directive: 

Article 2 

(a) 

(b)

dangerous goods. 

Article 3  

Member  States  shall  ensure  that  a  representative  proportion  of  consignments  of  dangerous 
goods  transported  by  road  is  subject  to  the  checks  laid  down  by  this  Directive,  in  order  to 
check their compliance with the laws on the transport of dangerous goods by road. 

Such  checks  shall  be  carried  out  in  the  territory  of  a  Member  State  in  accordance  with 
Article 3  of  Regulation  (EC)  No ⌦ 1100/2008 ⌫  and  Article  1  of  Regulation (EEC) 
No 3912/92.

result of the check drawn up by the authority which carried it out shall be given to the driver 
of  the  vehicle  and  presented  on  request  in  order  to  simplify  or  avoid,  where  possible, 
subsequent checks. 

(cid:208) 95/50/EC 

The first subparagraph shall not prejudice Member States' right to carry out specific measures 
for detailed checks. 

2. The checks shall be random and shall as far as possible cover an extensive portion of the 
road network. 

3.  The  places  chosen  for  the  checks  must  permit  infringing  vehicles  to  be  brought  into 
compliance or, if the authority carrying out the check deems it appropriate, to be immobilised 
on-the-spot or at a place designated for that purpose by the said authority without causing a 
safety hazard.

4. Where appropriate and provided that this does not constitute a safety hazard, samples of the 
goods transported may be taken for examination by laboratories recognised by the competent 
authority. 

5. Checks shall not exceed a reasonable length of time. 

Article 5 

Without prejudice to other penalties which may be imposed, vehicles in respect of which one 
or  more  infringements  of  the  rules  on  the  transport  of  dangerous  goods,  in  particular 
infringements listed in Annex II, are established may be immobilised either on-the-spot or at a 
place designated for this purpose by the authorities carrying out the check and required to be 
brought  into  conformity  before  continuing  their  journey  or  may  be  subject  to  other 
appropriate  measures,  depending  on  the  circumstances  or  the  requirements  of  safety 
including, where appropriate, refusal to allow such vehicles to enter the Community. 

Article 6 

1. Checks may also be carried out at the premises of undertakings, as a preventive measure or 
where infringements which jeopardise safety in the transport of dangerous goods have been 
recorded at the roadside. 

The  purpose  of  such  checks  shall  be  to  ensure  that  safety  conditions  for  the  transport  of 
dangerous goods by road comply with the relevant laws. 

2.  Where  one  or  more  infringements,  in  particular  those  listed  in  Annex  II,  have  been 
established in respect of the transport of dangerous goods by road, the transport in question 
shall be brought into conformity before the goods leave the undertaking or shall be subject to 
other appropriate measures. 

Article 7 

1. Member States shall assist one another in order to give proper effect to this Directive. 

2.  Serious  or  repeated  infringements  jeopardising  the  safety  of  the  transport  of  dangerous 
goods committed by a non-resident vehicle or undertaking must be reported to the competent 
authorities in the Member State in which the vehicle is registered or in which the undertaking 
is established. 

The  competent  authorities  of  the  Member  State  in  which  serious  or  repeated  infringements 
have  been  recorded  may  ask  the  competent  authorities  of  the  Member  State  in  which  the 
vehicle is registered or in which the undertaking is established for appropriate measures to be 
taken with regard to the offender or offenders. 

The latter competent authorities shall notify the competent authorities of the Member State in 
which the infringements were recorded of any measures taken with regard to the transporter 
or the undertaking.

Article 8 

If  the  findings  of  a  roadside  check  on  a  vehicle  registered  in  another  Member  State  give 
grounds  for  believing  that  serious  or  repeated  infringements  have  been  committed  which 
cannot  be  detected  in  the  course  of  that  check  in  the  absence  of  the  necessary  data,  the 
competent  authorities  of  the  Member  States  concerned  shall  assist  one  another  in  order  to 
clarify the situation. 

Where, to that end, the competent Member State carries out a check in the undertaking, the 
other Member States concerned shall be notified of the results.  

(cid:208) 95/50/EC (adapted) 

Article 9 

1. Each Member State shall send the Commission for each calendar year not later than twelve 
months  after  the  end  of  that  year  a  report,  drawn  up  in  accordance  with  the  model  ⌦ set 
out ⌫ in Annex III, on the application of this Directive, including the following particulars:

ANNEX II 

INFRINGEMENTS 

For the purposes of this Directive, the following non-exhaustive list, classified into three risk 
categories (category I being the most serious), gives a guideline on what is to be regarded as 
infringement. 

The  determination  of  the  appropriate  risk  category  must  take  account  of  the  particular 
circumstances and be left to the discretion of the enforcing body/officer at the roadside. 

Failures  that  are  not  listed  under  the  risk  categories  shall  be  classified  according  to  the 
descriptions of the categories. 

In  the  event  ⌦ that ⌫  there  are  several  infringements  per  transport  unit,  only  the  most 
serious  risk  category  (as  indicated  under  item  39  in  Annex  I)  shall  be  applied  for  reporting 
purposes (⌦ in compliance with the model set out in ⌫ Annex III). 

1. 

Risk Category I 

Where  failure  to  comply  with  relevant  ADR  provisions  creates  a  high-level  risk  of  death, 
serious personal injury or significant damage to the environment such failures would normally 
lead to taking immediate and appropriate corrective measures such as immobilisation of the 
vehicle. 

Failures are:

Leakage of dangerous substances 

Carriage by a prohibited mode or an inappropriate means of transport 

Carriage in bulk in a container which is not structurally serviceable 

Carriage in a vehicle without an appropriate certificate of approval 

The  vehicle  no  longer  complies  with  the  approval  standards  and  presents  an 
immediate danger (otherwise it goes in risk category II) 

Non-approved packaging is used 

Packaging does not conform to the applicable packing instruction 

The special provisions for mixed packing have not been complied with

Carriage of dangerous goods without any indication of their presence ( for example, 
documents,  marking  and  labelling  on  the  packages,  placarding  and  marking  on  the 
vehicle) 

Carriage without any placarding and marking on the vehicle 

Information relevant to the substance being carried enabling determination of a risk 
category  I  offence  is  missing  (for  example,  UN  number,  proper  shipping  name, 
packing group) 

Driver does not hold a valid vocational training certificate 

Fire or an unprotected light is being used 

The ban on smoking is not being observed. 

Risk Category II 

Where  failure  to  comply  with  relevant  ADR  provisions  creates  a  risk  of  personal  injury  or 
damage to the environment such failures would normally lead to taking appropriate corrective 
measures such as requiring rectification at the site of control if possible and appropriate, but at 
the completion of the current transport movement at the latest. 

Failures are:

The vehicle no longer complies with the approval standards but does not present an 
immediate danger 

The  vehicle  is  not  carrying  operational  fire  extinguishers  as  required;  a  fire 
extinguisher  can  still  be  deemed  operational  if  only  the  prescribed  seal  and/or  the 
expiry  date  are  missing;  however,  this  does  not  apply  if  the  fire  extinguisher  is 
visibly no longer operational, for example, pressure gauge at 0 

The vehicle does not carry the equipment required in the ADR or in the instructions
