List of competent authorities and bodies designated by them

The Contracting Parties shall communicate to the Secretariat of the United Nations Economic
Commission for Europe the addresses of the authorities and bodies designated by them which are
competent in accordance with national law to implement ADR, referring in each case to the relevant
requirement of ADR and giving the addresses to which the relevant applications should be made.
The Secretariat of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe shall establish a list on the
basis of the information received and shall keep it up-to-date. It shall communicate this list and the
amendments thereto to the Contracting Parties.

Notifications of occurrences involving dangerous goods

If a serious accident or incident takes place during loading, filling, carriage or unloading of dangerous
goods on the territory of a Contracting Party, the loader, filler, carrier or consignee, respectively, shall
ascertain that a report conforming to the model prescribed in 1.8.5.4 is made to the competent
authority of the Contracting Party concerned at the latest one month after the occurrence.

The Contracting Party shall in turn, if necessary, make a report to the Secretariat of the United Nations
Economic Commission for Europe with a view to informing the other Contracting Parties.

An occurrence subject to report in accordance with 1.8.5.1 has occurred if dangerous goods were
released or if there was an imminent risk of loss of product, if personal injury, material or
environmental damage occurred, or if the authorities were involved and one or more of the following
criteria has/have been met:
Personal injury means an occurrence in which death or injury directly relating to the dangerous goods
carried has occurred, and where the injury
(a) Requires intensive medical treatment;
(b) Requires a stay in hospital of at least one day; or
(c) Results in the inability to work for at least three consecutive days.
Loss of product means the release of dangerous goods
(a) Of transport category 0 or 1 in quantities of 50 kg / 50 l or more;
(b) Of transport category 2 in quantities of 333 kg / 333 l or more; or
(c) Of transport category 3 or 4 in quantities of 1 000 kg / 1 000 l or more.
The loss of product criterion also applies if there was an imminent risk of loss of product in the abovementioned
quantities. As a rule, this has to be assumed if, owing to structural damage, the means of
containment is no longer suitable for further carriage or if, for any other reason, a sufficient level of
safety is no longer ensured (e.g. owing to distortion of tanks or containers, overturning of a tank or
fire in the immediate vicinity).
If dangerous goods of Class 6.2 are involved, the obligation to report applies without quantity
limitation.
In occurrences involving radioactive material, the criteria for loss of product are:
(a) Any release of radioactive material from the packages;
(b) Exposure leading to a breach of the limits set out in the regulations for protection of workers
and members of the public against ionizing radiation (Schedule II of IAEA Safety Series No.
115 – "International Basic Safety Standards for Protection Against Ionizing Radiation and for
Safety of Radiation Sources"); or
(c) Where there is reason to believe that there has been a significant degradation in any package
safety function (containment, shielding, thermal protection or criticality) that may have
rendered the package unsuitable for continued carriage without additional safety measures.
NOTE: See the requirements of 7.5.11 CV33 (6) for undeliverable consignments.
Material damage or environmental damage means the release of dangerous goods, irrespective of the
quantity, where the estimated amount of damage exceeds 50,000 Euros. Damage to any directly
involved means of carriage containing dangerous goods and to the modal infrastructure shall not be
taken into account for this purpose.
Involvement of authorities means the direct involvement of the authorities or emergency services
during the occurrence involving dangerous goods and the evacuation of persons or closure of public
traffic routes (roads/railways) for at least three hours owing to the danger posed by the dangerous
goods.
If necessary, the competent authority may request further relevant information.
