The European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Inland Waterways (ADN) done at Geneva on 26 May 2000 under the auspices of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) and the Central Commission for the Navigation of the Rhine (CCNR) entered into force on 28 February 2008.

The Agreement itself and the annexed Regulations, in their original version, were published in 2001 under the symbol ECE/TRANS/150. That publication also contains the Final Act of the Diplomatic Conference held in Geneva from 22 to 26 May 2000 during which the Agreement was adopted as well as the text of a Resolution adopted by the Conference.

At the time of the preparation of the present publication, the Agreement had eighteen Contracting Parties: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czechia, France, Germany, Hungary, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, Republic of Moldova, Romania, Russian Federation, Serbia, Slovakia, Switzerland and Ukraine. Other member States of UNECE whose territory contains inland waterways, other than those forming a coastal route, may also become Contracting Parties to the Agreement by acceding to it, on condition that the inland waterways are part of the network of inland waterways of international importance as defined in the European Agreement on Main Inland Waterways of International Importance (AGN).

The Regulations annexed to the ADN contain provisions concerning dangerous substances and articles, provisions concerning their carriage in packages and in bulk on board inland navigation vessels or tank vessels, as well as provisions concerning the construction and operation of such vessels. They also address requirements and procedures for inspections, the issue of certificates of approval, recognition of classification societies, monitoring, and training and examination of experts.

With the exception of the provisions relating to the recognition of classification societies, which have been applicable since the entry into force of the Agreement, the annexed Regulations did not become applicable until twelve months after the entry into force of the Agreement, namely on 28 February 2009 (see Article 11 (1) of the Agreement).

Before the entry into force of the Agreement, updates of the annexed Regulations were carried out regularly by a Joint Meeting of Experts of the UNECE and CCNR. These updates were adopted by the Administrative Committee of the ADN at its first session which was held in Geneva on 19 June 2008 (see document ECE/ADN/2, paragraphs 13 to 16).

Subsequently, the secretariat has published consolidated versions under the symbol ECE/TRANS/203 (“ADN 2009”), ECE/TRANS/220 (“ADN 2011”), ECE/TRANS/231 (“ADN 2013”), ECE/TRANS/243 (“ADN 2015”), ECE/TRANS/258 (“ADN 2017”), ECE/TRANS/276 (“ADN 2019”) and ECE/TRANS/301 (“ADN 2021”).

At its twenty-seventh session (Geneva, 28 January 2022), the ADN Administrative Committee requested the secretariat to publish a new consolidated edition of ADN ("ADN 2023") incorporating all agreed corrections and amendments to enter into force on 1 January 2023. The amendments and corrections can be found in the following documents: ECE/ADN/61, ECE/ADN/61/Corr.1, ECE/ADN/61/Add.1, ECE/TRANS/WP.15/AC.2/76, annexes II and III, ECE/TRANS/WP.15/AC.2/78, annex II, ECE/TRANS/WP.15/AC.2/80, annex II and ECE/TRANS/WP.15/AC.2/82, annexes IV and V.

The annexed Regulations contained in the present publication are the consolidated version which takes account of these updates and which is applicable from 1 January 2023.

It should be noted that, according to Directive 2008/68/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 September 2008 on the inland transport of dangerous goods, as amended, member States of the European Union, have to, with the exclusion of the derogations provided for in Article 1, paragraph 3 of the Directive, apply these annexed Regulations as well as Article 3 (f) and (h) and Article 8, paragraphs 1 and 3 of the ADN to the national and international transport between member States of dangerous goods by inland waterways on their territory.
