Subject: Transport of dangerous goods between private premises and another vehicle in the immediate vicinity of the premises, or between two parts of private premises situated in the immediate vicinity of each other but separated by a public road.
Reference to the Annex of the Directive: Annex I, Section 1.1, to Directive 2008/68/EC: Annexes A and B.
Content of the Annex to the Directive: Requirements for the carriage of dangerous goods by road.
Content of the national legislation: Disapplication of the regulations where a vehicle is being used to transfer dangerous goods
between private premises and another vehicle in the immediate vicinity of those premises; or
between two parts of private premises in the immediate vicinity of each other but which may be separated by a public road,
provided that the transport is carried out by means of the most direct route.
Initial reference to the national legislation: European Communities (Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road and Use of Transportable Pressure Equipment) Regulations 2011 and 2013, Regulation 56.
Comments: Various situations can occur where goods are transferred between two parts of private premises or between private premises and an associated vehicle which are separated by a public road. This form of transport does not constitute the carriage of dangerous goods in the usual sense, and thus the regulations pertaining to the carriage of dangerous goods do not need to be applied.
