What Equipment Does ADR Require?
ADR 8.1.5 sets out the safety equipment that must be carried on vehicles transporting dangerous goods. Some items are required for every vehicle, some for every crew member and some only for certain classes.
For each vehicle:
- A wheel chock suitable for the vehicle’s weight and wheel size
- Two self-standing warning signs
- Eye rinsing liquid (not required for Classes 1 and 2)
For each crew member:
- A warning vest
- Portable lighting apparatus
- Protective gloves
- Eye protection
Additional equipment for certain classes:
- An emergency escape mask for Classes 2.3 and 6.1
- A shovel, drain seal and plastic collecting container for Classes 3, 4.1, 4.3, 8 and 9
The exact kit depends on the classes being carried, the vehicle type and the number of crew on board.
Our ADR Kits
Our ADR kits are built around ADR 8.1.5 requirements, so drivers and vehicles carry the right equipment for the loads they transport. Three kits cover the majority of operations:
- DK0030 Class 3 ADR Kit for drivers carrying Class 3 flammable liquids, such as fuel
- DK0025 Silver ADR & PPE Kit covering all classes 1 to 9 for the driver
- VK0010 Vehicle & Driver ADR Kit for HGVs covering all classes 1 to 9 for both the driver and the vehicle

ADR Kit Solutions for Transport Fleets
For operators running multiple vehicles, depots or sites, a defined ADR kit solution makes it easier to keep every vehicle and driver correctly equipped.
Hazchem Safety can provide tailored ADR kit solutions, helping businesses to:
- Standardise ADR kits across drivers and vehicles
- Match kits to the classes of dangerous goods carried
- Equip additional crew members to ADR 8.1.5
- Simplify procurement and reduce administration
- Maintain consistency across depots and operating locations
Kits can be combined with FR and anti-static workwear, safety footwear, gloves, eye protection and ATEX torches to create a consistent PPE range for your drivers.
Staying Compliant with ADR
ADR equipment must be carried on board, suitable for the goods being transported and in good condition. Missing or out-of-date kit can lead to roadside prohibitions and fines.
Staying compliant typically involves:
- Carrying the correct kit for every class on board
- Providing the required PPE for each crew member
- Replacing used, damaged or expired items such as eye wash
- Checking kit contents before each journey
- Carrying instructions in writing and suitable fire extinguishers
Choosing the right ADR kit helps operators reduce risk, avoid enforcement action and give drivers the equipment they need in an emergency.
