How
to Order
What are
Tremcards?
If you transport paints,
chemicals or any other hazardous materials, it is
the law throughout Europe that you must have a
Transport Emergency Card - or Tremcard - in the
vehicle.
Each Tremcard contains information
that ensures the driver knows exactly what he or
she is carrying, including the nature of the risk
presented by the goods being carried. Crucially,
they also carry instructions on how to respond to
an emergency, such as a spillage or fire. This
information is also essential for the emergency
services in the event of an accident.
This
information must be in all the languages of any
countries through which the cargo will travel. For
a list of recommended languages for each destination
country, click here.
The
requirement for Tremcards is stipulated in the
European Agreement on the International Carriage
of Dangerous Goods by Road (otherwise known as ADR)
Whether
you drive an HGV or a white van, if you are
carrying hazardous material, you need a Tremcard.
Failure to carry a Tremcard can result in a fine
or a prohibition notice.
Cefic Tremcards
There are several types of Tremcards, but the
ones licensed by Cefic - the European Chemical
Industry Council - are the industry-leading
solution. They are the only ones approved by a
European industry trade body. A single format,
validated by the pan-European organisation, saves
a lot of hassle for companies transporting
hazardous goods.
With their distinctive red
bands, Cefic Tremcards have the advantage of being
readily recognisable throughout Europe. They are
recognised and accepted by international transport
organisations and by customs officials at national
borders. Therefore a Cefic Tremcard reduces the
likelihood of delays when crossing
borders.
Cefic strongly promotes the use of
its Tremcards and works hard to keep them accurate
and relevant. Cefic's process of continuous
improvement reflects changes in legislation and
feedback from the Chemical Distribution Industry.
Cefic also contributes to the revision of the ADR
regulations as members of Working Party 15. So you
can be confident that Tremcards are fully
compliant with current legislation and industry
best practice.
