At Argent Equipment, we offer a wide range of commercial vehicle testing services which includes the Accord Dangereux Routier test or ADR CVRT. 

This is mandatory for vehicles like fuel tankers and chemical transporters and it checks for roadworthiness, as well as things like hazardous goods labelling, tank integrity, fire extinguishers, emergency kits, and safety equipment compliance.

The ADR (Accord Dangereux Routier) certificate or ADR test, as it’s otherwise known, is an additional mandatory requirement for hazardous goods vehicles, such as those that transport fuel, explosives or dangerous chemicals.
