ADR plates and dangerous goods vehicle markings

ADR establishes requirements for the international carriage of dangerous goods by road, including the marking and placarding of vehicles and transport units carrying dangerous goods.

We manufacture a wide range of markings used by dangerous goods operators, including:

        • ADR orange plates
        • Hazchem panels / hazard warning panels
        • Kemler plates
        • Hazard Identification Number (HIN) plates
        • UN number plates
        • Emergency Action Code (EAC) panels
        • ADR hazard warning diamonds
        • Dangerous goods vehicle markings
        • Tanker and tank-container markings
        • Specialist advice telephone number labels
        • Transport and shipping labels
        • Handling labels
        • Tactile warning labels
        • Chevron and safety marking tapes

We can produce both standard and custom configurations to suit individual vehicles, tanks, containers and fleet requirements.

Hazchem panels and emergency action codes

For the carriage of dangerous goods in Great Britain, Hazchem hazard warning panels can provide emergency services with critical information about the substance being transported.

A UK Hazchem panel can incorporate the relevant Emergency Action Code (EAC), UN substance identification number, hazard class diamond and specialist advice telephone number, together with other required information where applicable.

The Emergency Action Code communicates information intended to assist the emergency services when responding to an incident involving the load.

We can produce custom Hazchem panels and associated markings for tanker operators, chemical companies, fuel distributors and dangerous goods transport fleets.

Replacement and fleet Hazchem panels

If you already know the Emergency Action Code, UN number and other information required on your panel, send us the details and we can manufacture to your specification.

For operators managing multiple vehicles or substances, we can also produce repeat orders and sets of markings to help maintain consistent identification across a fleet.

ADR is a French acronym for “European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road” which is a treaty dating back to 1957 from the United Nations regarding the governance of international transport of Dangerous Goods.

“Accord européen relatif au transport international des marchandises Dangereuses par Route”

ADR orange plates, UN numbers and Kemler plates

We also manufacture ADR orange-coloured plates and numbered panels for dangerous goods transport.

Depending on the application, ADR markings may display a UN number identifying the dangerous substance and a Hazard Identification Number (HIN) describing the nature of the hazard.

The Hazard Identification Number is also commonly referred to as a Kemler Code, which is why these products are frequently requested as Kemler plates or Kemler panels.

If your organisation operates vehicles internationally as well as within the UK, we can produce the appropriate printed markings to the specification you provide.

UN number plates

UN numbers are internationally recognised four-digit numbers used to identify dangerous substances and articles during transport.

We manufacture printed UN number plates and labels for use on vehicles, tanks, tank containers and other suitable applications.

From individual replacement numbers to repeat requirements for large transport fleets, we can manufacture quantities to suit your operation.

ADR hazard diamonds and dangerous goods labels

We print the familiar diamond-shaped ADR hazard labels and placards used to communicate the class of dangerous goods being transported.

These include markings for hazard classes such as:

          • Explosives
          • Gases
          • Flammable liquids
          • Flammable solids
          • Oxidising substances
          • Toxic substances
          • Radioactive material
          • Corrosive substances
          • Miscellaneous dangerous substances and articles

Tell us the hazard class, dimensions, application and quantity you require and our team can advise on the most appropriate print and material specification.

Dangerous goods markings can be exposed to demanding conditions including road dirt, water, cleaning, sunlight and prolonged outdoor use.

We can manufacture labels, plates and markings using materials selected for the intended application, with options including:

  • Weather-resistant materials
  • High resistance to UV and sunlight
  • Durable printed graphics
  • Materials resistant to cracking during prolonged exterior exposure
  • Reflective materials for appropriate applications
  • Wet-surface application labels where required
  • Permanent self-adhesive options
  • Custom shapes and sizes

If you’re unsure which material is appropriate, tell us where and how the marking will be used and we can recommend a suitable construction.

We supply dangerous goods markings to customers including:

Haulage companies • Tanker operators • Chemical manufacturers • Fuel distributors • Waste and environmental businesses • Logistics operators • Tank and trailer manufacturers • Fleet maintenance businesses • Industrial companies

Whether you’re maintaining one specialist vehicle or managing a national fleet, we can produce one-off, short-run and volume quantities.

In addition to transport markings, Screenprint & Display manufactures GHS hazard pictogram and GB CLP chemical labels for hazardous substances and mixtures.

These labels use the recognised red-bordered hazard pictograms used to communicate physical, health and environmental hazards.

We can manufacture durable custom chemical labels incorporating the information supplied by your organisation, including relevant:

  • GHS/CLP hazard pictograms
  • Product identification
  • Signal words
  • Hazard statements
  • Precautionary statements
  • Supplier information
  • Supplemental information

Labels can be produced for containers, drums, bottles, packaging and industrial applications in custom sizes and quantities.
