DOCUMENTATION

Unless otherwise specified, any carriage of goods governed by ADR shall be accompanied by the
documentation prescribed in this Chapter, as appropriate.
NOTE: For the list of documentation to be carried on board transport units, see 8.1.2.

The use of electronic data processing (EDP) or electronic data interchange (EDI) techniques as an aid
to or instead of paper documentation is permitted, provided that the procedures used for the capture,
storage and processing of electronics data meet the legal requirements as regards the evidential value
and availability of data during transport in a manner at least equivalent to that of paper documentation.

When the dangerous goods transport information is given to the carrier by EDP or EDI techniques, the
consignor shall be able to give the information to the carrier as a paper document, with the
information in the sequence required by this Chapter.

Dangerous goods transport document and related information

General information required in the transport document
