Documents required when transporting dangerous goods?
The documents stipulated in 8.1.2. of the ADR.
When transporting wastes, for route planning regulations - You must contact: IGSU, Romanian Police for explosives and CNCAN for class 7.
ROMANIA currently accepts the use of both agreements ADR 2007 and 2009 for a carriage operation until 30 June 2009. This is the aim of the paragraph 1.6.1.1. of ADR. We sustain the common interpretation reflected at paragraphs 15 to 17 of the report of the joint meeting RID/ADR/ADN held on March 2009 -ECE-TRANS-WP15-AC1-114f: www.unece.org/trans/doc/2009/wp15ac1/ECE-TRANS-WP15-AC1-114f.pdf
UN numbers of Class 1 require a particular transport permit which is granted by the Romanian Police.
UN numbers of Class 7 require a transport permit issued by the National Commission for the Control of the Nuclear Activities - CNCAN.
Tunnel regulations and tunnel categorizations do not apply in Romania as there are no road tunnels exceeding 500 meters in Romania at the moment.
Controls in Romania of transport of dangerous goods are carried out by the Romanian Road Transport Authority, the Road Police (www.politiaromana.ro/DPR/index.htm), the Border Police (www.politiadefrontiera.ro) and the National Environment Guard (www.gnm.ro).
Further information on statistics, enforcement etc. is available on the website: www.fcio.at/uploads/04_CST3_127838_DE.pdf or www.fcio.at/uploads/04_CST3_127838_EN.pdf starting from page 12.
The Council Directive 95/50/EC of 6 October 1995 on uniform procedures for checks on the transport of dangerous goods by road was transposed by Government Decision no. 1175/2007. The amount of the fines in Euro on risk categories is, on an approximate conversion: III - 500 - 1000 Euros; II - 1200 - 1750 Euros; I - 2000 - 2500 Euros.
In Romania the heavy vehicles (tanks vehicles, lorries, etc.) carrying dangerous goods have to be equipped on top of the cabin with a warning orange light - this regulation was imposed by law in the Road Traffic Code.
