ADR Transport: Shipping Dangerous Goods between France and Switzerland

The ADR (European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road) is the strict regulatory framework that ensures the safe transport of hazardous materials.

As of June 2026, full compliance is no longer an option, but a necessity. We strictly adhere to the new ADR 2025 regulations, which have been mandatory for the entire sector since 1 July 2025.

To offer you complete peace of mind, STAR Logistique has implemented proactive compliance measures:

• Mandatory training: All our staff handling limited quantities (LQ) receive ongoing basic ADR training.
• Bulk waste management: We apply rigorous protocols for the transport and disposal of hazardous waste, including asbestos, in full compliance with current environmental regulations.
• Safety advisers (DGSA): Our team includes safety advisers for the transport of dangerous goods, ensuring technical expertise is integrated into every route planning process.

To explore the details of these regulations further and understand how we protect your shipments, please consult our ADR Safety Guide 2025. You can also check the official regulations and checklists with the Swiss association.

Recognised as one of the leading transport companies specialising in ADR transport to Switzerland, our company offers bespoke supply chain solutions that cover the entire lifecycle of your shipments.
