Abstract

Objective: To increase the safety of international transport by road.

Summary of provisions: Article 1 defines the terms dangerous goods and international transport. Dangerous goods barred from carriage by annex A are not to be accepted for international transport (art. 2.1). For other dangerous goods, international transport is only authorised under conditions (art.2.2). Each Contracting Party retains the right to regulate or prohibit for reasons other than safety during carriage, the entry of dangerous goods in its territory (art.4.1).

Institutional mechanisms: After this Agreement has been in force for three years, any Contracting Party may request that a conference be convened to revise the agreement (art.13).
