What is Multilateral Agreement M363?

Multilateral Agreement M363 is a deviation from the applicable dangerous goods regulations (ADR), initiated and signed by Germany. It allows certain labeling requirements to be waived for fully packaged vehicles in accordance with special provision 666. It is currently valid until December 31, 2026.

What does RID 2/2025 regulate?

RID 2/2025 is the corresponding multilateral agreement in the field of rail transport (RID), which, similar to M363, provides facilitation regarding the labeling of fully packaged vehicles in rail freight transport.

Which vehicles are affected?

The regulation applies to vehicles that are transported fully enclosed in packaging, crates, or other containers that prevent direct identification. These are no longer subject to the marking requirements of Chapter 5.2 ADR/RID.

What advantages do M363 and RID 2/2025 offer companies?

The agreements reduce the effort required for hazardous goods labeling, simplify logistics processes, and provide legal clarity for the transport of fully packaged vehicles.

Do the changes also apply internationally?

Multilateral agreements only apply in countries that have signed them. Germany and France have already signed M363 and RID 2/2025. For transport to or through other countries, it must be verified whether they also recognize the agreement.

What the new multilateral agreements M363 and RID 2/2025 mean for youFacilitates transportation:

At Boxlab Services, we always strive to provide you with the latest information and solutions for the safe and efficient transportation of your goods. An important innovation that is particularly relevant for companies that transport vehicles in accordance with Special Provision (SV) 666 are the Multilateral Agreements M363 (new) and RID 2/2025 (new) recently proposed by Germany and now also signed by France. These are valid until December 31, 2026.

What's new?

The key change concerns the marking and labeling of vehicles transported in accordance with SV 666. Previously, these vehicles were subject to the provisions of Chapter 5.2 ADR/RID regarding marking and labeling, even if they were fully packed.

This will change with the new M363 and RID 2/2025 agreements. Specifically, the new regulations state:

Notwithstanding SV 666 (e) ADR/RID, vehicles that are completely enclosed in packaging, crates or other means that prevent easy identification are not subject to the marking and labeling requirements of Chapter 5.2.

What does this mean for your company?

This change is a significant relief for anyone transporting fully packaged vehicles. In practice, it means:

Less effort: If your vehicles are completely enclosed in packaging that makes them difficult to identify directly, there is no need for additional marking and labeling as required in Chapter 5.2. This saves you valuable time and resources.
Optimized processes: Your logistics processes can be made more efficient because one work step is eliminated.
Clear guidelines: The new agreements provide clarity and legal certainty for the transport of these specific goods.

At Boxlab Services, we closely follow developments in the field of dangerous goods regulations and adapt our services accordingly. These new multilateral agreements are an excellent example of how adjustments to ADR/RID can simplify the transportation of dangerous goods without compromising safety.

Perforated hazard labels - perfectly equipped for every scenario

Manual tearing made easy

Thanks to precise micro-perforation, you can tear off the labels quickly and safely by hand, without scissors or a knife – ideal for on the go, in workshops or for spontaneous use.

Flexibility for roll goods

Whether you need individual labels or fully automated labeling – perforation makes both possible. Maximum flexibility with consistent process reliability.

Unrestricted machine suitability

The perforation is designed so that you can continue to use your labeling machines without any adjustments. A real advantage during operation.
