What is the
ADR 8.2 Tanks ?
The extended tanker specialization is the broadest of the ADR specializations that complete the Basic ADR training. It enables drivers to transport all hazardous materials(except class 7) in liquid form by land. This specialization therefore includes the Petroleum Products specialization as well as the LPG specialization. We speak of LPG tank, petroleum tank and extended tank. The ADR - Extended Tanker Specialization is obtained following a final assessment, which, once validated, leads to the issue of an ADR Certificate qualified for this mode of transport.
Like Basic ADR training, Extended Tank training is subject to a refresher course every 5 years.
