GPCA will host a webinar, in collaboration with IRU, the World Road Transport Organization, to raise awareness of ADR standards and explore their relevance and adoption in the GCC and broader non-ADR countries in the Middle East.
The session will examine the UN Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR), offering practical insights into its latest developments, benefits and potential role in strengthening cross-border compliance, trade facilitation and supply chain resilience.
As chemicals and petrochemicals remain central to the region’s industrial value chain, effective and consistent approaches to the transport of hazardous materials are increasingly important. The webinar will bring together experts from IRU and Sipchem to discuss the opportunities for greater alignment of standards across the region and share practical perspectives on implementing ADR requirements.
By attending the webinar, participants will gain an understanding of:
- What ADR is and why it matters for global logistics and supply chains
- The latest developments in ADR regulations
- How ADR can enhance safety, trade facilitation and supply chain resilience
- Opportunities to harmonize standards across the GCC
- Practical approaches to strengthening compliance and operational excellence
- ADR packaging and placarding requirements
The session will conclude with a live Q&A, allowing participants to engage directly with experts and raise specific operational or regulatory challenges.
The webinar is ideal for transport operators and logistics providers, professionals at chemical and petrochemical companies, regulators and policymakers, and safety and compliance professionals.
Join us to explore how greater alignment of dangerous goods transport standards can help build safer, more efficient and more resilient supply chains.
