how does the adr regulation and the 1000 points rule concern me?

if you wish to benefit from the exemption of some of the requirements of the adr regulations (such as the obligation to have orange plates, high visibility vests and wheel chocks), you need to understand the 1000 points rule and the limited quantity thresholds. the full adr regulations only apply if your cylinder load exceeds this quantity threshold.
