Division RO–bi–DK–3F1
United Kingdom
Subject: Transporting dangerous goods within private premises placed in close proximity of one another.
Reference to Annex I, Section I.1, to Directive 2008/68/EC: Annexes A and B.
Content of the Annex to the Directive: Requirements for the carriage of dangerous goods on public roads.
Content of the national legislation: Regarding transportation of dangerous goods by road between two or more separate private premises placed in close proximity, the transport can happen with a written permit from the competent authority – certain conditions apply.
Initial reference to the national legislation: Bekendtgørelse nr. 828 af 10. juni 2017 om vejtransport af farligt gods.
Comments: A situation can easily occur where goods are transferred between private premises situated nearby each other but where it is still necessary to access public road for a very limited distance (e.g. crossing a road). This does not constitute carriage of dangerous goods on a public road in the normal sense of the term, and only more lenient terms apply.
