An ADR storage facility is a warehouse for dangerous goods that meets the requirements of the European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR). Key requirements include segregation of incompatible hazard classes, mandatory hazard labels and placards, complete inventory documentation, fire suppression systems, and personnel holding the relevant ADR training certificates. Freight forwarders, chemical manufacturers, and importers use such facilities to safely hold dangerous goods between border clearance and onward road shipment, or as a buffer before loading. Compliance with ADR standards is a precondition for the operating licence and insurance coverage; breaches can result in immediate closure orders. It is worth noting that ADR primarily governs road transport – for warehousing, additional national regulations on building safety and chemical storage typically apply alongside ADR requirements.
