CFP ADR - Achievement

Drivers who transport dangerous goods must obtain a professional training certificate (basic, tank, explosives or radioactive) known as an ADR (transport of dangerous goods by road) valid for five years, in order to obtain it, they must attend a qualification course (at driving schools or institutions) and then take a theoretical examination.

Those who transport dangerous goods use the following vehicles

• fixed or demountable tank vehicles with a capacity exceeding 1000 litres;
• battery vehicles with a total capacity exceeding 1000 litres;
• vehicles transporting tank containers with a capacity exceeding 3000 litres;
• vehicles of any gross laden mass carrying substances or articles of ADR Class 1 (explosives);
• vehicles of any gross laden mass carrying substances of ADR Class 7 (radioactive) excluding certain special cases;
• vehicles other than those mentioned above with a gross laden mass exceeding 3.5 t carrying substances in quantities exceeding those specified in 1.1.3.6 of ADR.

A maximum of two tests may be taken within a period of six months from the end of the course, with one month between each test.
Specialisations are obtained after successfully passing the basic ADR certificate, even in the same examination session.
Non-EU citizens must present their valid original residence permit or residence card before the practical examination.

The ADR must be renewed after five years from the date of issue, subject to attendance of an appropriate refresher course and passing the exam. This course can be taken in the last year of validity of the ADR CFP possessed; having passed the exam even before the expiry of the CFP, the new certificate will expire five years after the expiry date of the previous one.
