Recognition system 2010


Background / History• Historical designation of instances responsible for certain acts as

competent authority of ADR, RID etc. (little criteria that they must meet) + designation by Ministeral decision.

• Ministry had several contacts / structural meetings with these instances, but not a really supervision by the Government.

• Inspectorate: several problems with the building and construction of tankcontainers + subcontractors.

• Research of General Court of Auditors: Recommendation: more supervision is needed from the government

on instances.


More supervision from the Government2010: Ministerial regulation approved bodies transport of dangerous

goods (transitional period of 2 years until 1st April 2012)

Recognition and supervision is mandated to the Inspectorate

Free market of approved bodies: All instances which meet the criteria of this regulation can be recognized by our Inspectorate
