Delegated Directive (EU) 2025/1801 has been in force since 2 November 2025 – one of the most important amendments to European dangerous goods legislation in recent years. It brings greater uniformity, clear responsibilities and stricter controls in the transport of dangerous goods. For companies that regularly transport or package dangerous goods, this topic is more relevant than ever.

Die EU-Kommission hat mit der Delegierten Richtlinie (EU) 2025/1801 die Anhänge der Richtlinie (EU) 2022/1999 an den aktuellen ADR-Stand angepasst. Ziel ist eine europaweit einheitliche Grundlage für die Kontrolle von Gefahrguttransporten auf der Straße.

Dazu wurden unter anderem eingeführt:aWith Delegated Directive (EU) 2025/1801, the EU Commission has adapted the annexes to Directive (EU) 2022/1999 to the current ADR status. The aim is to establish a uniform basis for the control of dangerous goods transport by road throughout Europe.

To this end, the following have been introduced, among other things:

• a uniform EU checklist for dangerous goods inspections,
• a new categorisation of infringements into three risk levels (categories I–III),
• and a clear distribution of responsibilities along the entire transport chain – from the consignor to the carrier to the consignee.

These changes ensure greater transparency, but also impose higher requirements for documentation and labelling.

• eine neue Kategorisierung von Verstößen in drei Risikostufen (Kategorie I–III),
• sowie eine klare Verteilung der Verantwortlichkeiten entlang der gesamten Transportkette – vom Absender über den Beförderer bis hin zum Empfänger.

Diese Änderungen sorgen für mehr Transparenz, aber auch für höhere Anforderungen an Dokumentation und Kennzeichnung.
