The Australian Code for the Transport of Dangerous Goods by Road & Rail, in short called the ADG Code, is the publication that handles the requirements for the transport of dangerous goods by road and rail.
The Australian Dangerous Goods Code 7.8 has been approved and will come into effect on 01 April 2023. There is a 12 month transition period in place where both edition 7.7 and edition 7.8 can be used. The ADG Code is given legal force in each Australian State and Territory by each jurisdiction’s dangerous goods transport transport laws. Not all jurisdictions may have a commencement date of 01 April 2023 for the ADG Code 7.8, please check with your local jurisdiction.
ADG Code 7.8 will be mandatory from 01 April 2024.
