New Instructions in Writing (IiW) from January

ADR 2009 comes into force on January 1 and the new Instructions in Writing (IiW) will be applicable for international journeys from that date, and for national journeys in Great Britain from July 1 2009.

The Department for Transport, Health & Safety Executive (HSE) and other enforcement agencies have agreed to accept the new IiW from January 1 as a matter of enforcement policy.

“It will be important that the new IiW are provided in the correct format, including colour rendition of the symbols, and in a language that the driver and any other crew member understand,” said Clive Dennis, HM inspector of health & safety at HSE. “We anticipate that IiW will be personal issue to drivers but how the process is managed will be for carriers. Their monitoring and audit procedures will need to take the new system into account.”
