The ADR requirements apply to the following classes of
dangerous load carrying vehicles: EX/II, EX/III, FL, OX, and AT.
The following key points should be observed on Hazardous
Goods/ADR trailer installations.

Manager programme must have the ADR/GGVS certifi cate
number as indicated (Fig. 154).
Cable routes
Sensor cable route should not be installed to brake air
pipes. Do not run sensor leads in spiral wrapping on hoses.
Cables should be securely fastened to prevent abrasion and
positioned to protect against mechanical and thermal stress.
It is recommended that the cables are either run in trunking or
secured at no less more than 400 mm intervals.
Note: All cables should run 'up to' ECU connections.
Brake lamp back-up power supply
The brake lamp power supply can be either an ISO 12098 or
an ISO 1185 (24N) connector. These connectors must be fully
