FOREWORD 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 Navigation on 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 fourteen Contracting Parties: Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, France, Germany, Hungary, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, Republic of Moldova, Romania, Russian Federation, Slovakia and Ukraine. The following signatory States had so far still not deposited instruments of acceptance, approval or ratification: Czech Republic and Italy. Other Member States of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe 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 have been 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). The Committee decided unanimously to replace the original Regulations by those contained in documents ECE/TRANS/190 and -/Corr.1 ("ADN 2007") as modified by the following documents: ECE/TRANS/WP.15/AC.2/26, ECE/TRANS/WP.15/AC.2/26/Corr.1, ECE/TRANS/WP.15/AC.2/26/Add.1 and ECE/TRANS/WP.15/AC.2/26/Add.2. Consequently, the secretariat published a consolidated version ("ADN 2009") under the symbol ECE/TRANS/203. At its fourth session (Geneva, 28-29 January 2010), the ADN Administrative Committee requested the secretariat to publish a new consolidated edition of ADN ("ADN 2011") incorporating all agreed corrections and amendments that should enter into force on 1 January 2011. The amendments and corrections can be found in the following documents: ECE/ADN/9, ECE/ADN/9/Corr.1, ECE/ADN/9/Corr.2, ECE/TRANS/WP.15/AC.2/36, Annex II, ECE/TRANS/WP.15/AC.2/34, Annex II, ECE/TRANS/WP.15/AC.2/32, Annex II, and ECE/TRANS/WP.15/AC.2/30, Annex I and Corr.1 (French only). 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 2011. - iii - Copyright © United Nations, 2011.
