Whether you need interchangeable hazardous materials warning signs for different hazardous substances or permanently labeled single-substance hazardous materials warning signs —we have the right solution for every application and transport requirement.

Our ADR warning signs were specifically designed in accordance with the requirements of ADR Section 5.3.2.2.1 and fully comply with these specifications. According to the requirements, the hazard identification number and the UN number must be indelible and remain clearly legible after 15 minutes of exposure to fire. See for yourself in our fire test. In addition, interchangeable digits and letters must remain in their designated position on the vehicle or container while the vehicle is in motion, regardless of its orientation.

Made of high-quality stainless steel, Regoplast® hazardous materials warning signs offer outstanding corrosion resistance, durability, and weather resistance. Their sturdy materials and high-quality construction make them suitable for long-term use under demanding conditions.

Innovative interchangeable and locking systems allow for quick and easy handling of the warning signs. Depending on the model, the required hazard numbers and UN numbers can be easily set or changed. In this way, Regoplast® hazardous materials warning signs ensure safe, reliable, and ADR-compliant labeling of vehicles and transport units.

Our Hazardous Materials Warning Signs

Interchangeable Hazardous Materials Warning Signs

Series 612000


Interchangeable Hazard Warning Signs with a Patented Pull-Out Mechanism

The 612000 series hazardous materials warning signs were developed specifically for professional use in the transport of hazardous materials. Thanks to the patented pull-out mechanism, hazard numbers (Kemler numbers) and UN numbers can be replaced quickly, safely, and easily—without the need for any tools.

As shown in the animation, the right-hand side rail of the warning sign is simply pulled outward. This opens the guide rail, into which the orange numeral elements—which are also patented—can be inserted or replaced. The side rail is then pushed back in and securely locked into place. The result is a permanently stable and precise mounting of all the numbers in place.

This system offers a key advantage, particularly for companies that transport various types of hazardous materials: The labeling can be adapted to the specific shipment in just a few seconds. This saves time in day-to-day operations while also minimizing the risk of incorrect labeling.

Ideal protection and high-quality materials

For added protection, the 612000 series is available with a patented black cover. This cover reliably protects the hazard and UN numbers from dirt, weather, and mechanical damage. At the same time, it prevents unused warning signs from remaining visible when labeling is not required.

Manufactured from high-quality stainless steel, the 612000 Series hazardous materials warning signs stand out for their high corrosion resistance and suitability for long-term outdoor use. They are resistant to UV radiation, moisture, and many chemicals, and meet the high standards required for daily use in the transport of hazardous materials by road, rail, and intermodal means.

The 612000 series is particularly well-suited for freight forwarders, chemical companies, waste management companies, tanker truck operators, and logistics companies that prioritize durable, flexible, and safe ADR hazardous materials labeling.

Series 611000

Durable hazardous materials warning signs with a utility model-protected hinged closure

The 611000 Series hazardous materials warning signs were specifically designed for demanding applications where the highest standards of safety and reliability are required for labeling. This design has proven particularly effective in rail freight transport and on freight cars.

During shunting, as well as when starting and braking, strong impact loads often occur when railcars collide. Conventional pull-out systems can open unintentionally under these conditions. Based on this practical experience, Regoplast® developed the utility model-protected 611000 series featuring an innovative hinged latch. Extensive testing has shown that this locking mechanism remains reliably closed even under high mechanical stress and securely holds the hazard and UN numbers in place.

Replacing the numeral elements is still a simple and time-saving process. After opening the hinged clasp, the orange numerals are slid into the guide rail from the right side as usual. The side bar is then closed again and securely locked so that all elements are firmly in place.

Durable material and added safety

Like all high-quality Regoplast® hazardous materials warning signs, the 611000 series stands out for its durable stainless steel construction. The material is corrosion-resistant, withstands weather conditions and many chemicals, and is ideal for long-term use in the transport of hazardous materials by road, rail, and combined modes.

For added security, both the 611000 Series and the 612000 Series can be equipped with a lock. This prevents unauthorized persons from removing or altering the hazard or UN number. This ensures that the ADR-compliant labeling remains reliably protected at all times—even on company premises, at transshipment points, or during extended periods of inactivity.

The 611000 series is the ideal solution for companies that require particularly rugged, durable, and safe hazardous materials labeling and do not want to compromise even under demanding operating conditions.

Cover foldable

The Regoplast® warning signs can be equipped with a hinged, optionally lockable cover made of stainless steel. This eliminates the need for cover or overlay hoods. The cover is also suitable for retrofitting.

Single-Substance Hazardous Materials Warning Signs

For long-term use without replacing the label

Regoplast® single-substance hazardous materials warning signs are the ideal solution for transportation companies that consistently transport the same hazardous substance in their vehicles. Since the hazard number (Kemler number) and the UN number do not change, there is no need to replace the labeling on a regular basis. This makes these warning signs particularly suitable for tank trucks, containers, or transport units carrying the same cargo consistently. The warning signs are custom-manufactured with the hazard and UN numbers you require and are ready for immediate use. This saves time in daily operations and ensures consistently clear and legible labeling in accordance with applicable ADR regulations.

Like all Regoplast® products, the single-material hazardous materials warning signs are characterized by high-quality workmanship and a long service life. The robust stainless steel construction is corrosion-resistant, UV-resistant, and resistant to weathering and many chemicals. This allows the warning signs to remain permanently attached to the vehicle and ensures they can be used reliably even under demanding operating conditions. The black contrasting numerals, made of high-quality polyamide, ensure excellent legibility and high contrast against the orange warning sign (RAL 2006). This ensures that the markings remain clearly visible even with intensive use and under changing weather conditions.

FAQ

What is a hazardous materials warning sign?

A dangerous goods warning sign is an orange label used on vehicles and containers that transport dangerous goods. It enables emergency responders and authorities to quickly identify a hazardous substance based on its hazard number (Kemler number) and UN number. This marking is required for all dangerous goods shipments in accordance with ADR/RID regulations.

Hazardous materials warning signs are always required when dangerous goods are transported in accordance with applicable ADR or RID regulations and there is a labeling requirement. Whether a warning sign is required depends, among other things, on the type of dangerous goods, the quantity being transported, and the mode of transport.

A hazardous materials warning sign may consist of the hazard number (Kemler number) in the upper section and the UN number in the lower section. The hazard number describes the type of hazard, while the UN number uniquely identifies the substance being transported.

Orange neutral placards without numbers are used for certain shipments of hazardous materials. They are used in particular when transporting hazardous materials as general cargo, for example in boxes, drums, canisters, or bags. The neutral placard generally alerts other road users and emergency responders that the vehicle is transporting dangerous goods. Since the load may contain various hazardous substances, it does not include specific hazard or UN numbers. The exact composition of the load can be found in the relevant shipping documents.

Regoplast® hazardous materials warning signs are made of high-quality stainless steel and are exceptionally durable, maintenance-free, and resistant to UV rays, acids, and alkalis. Thanks to their patented mechanisms, the digits can be quickly replaced and securely fastened. In addition, the signs meet the legibility requirements before, during, and after exposure to fire in accordance with ADR/RID and have successfully passed the relevant tests.

Interchangeable hazardous materials warning signs are suitable for companies that transport various hazardous substances and need to update their labeling on a regular basis. Single-substance hazardous materials warning signs are permanently marked with a fixed hazard classification and UN number and are particularly suitable for vehicles that consistently transport the same hazardous substance.

Yes. Regoplast® hazardous materials warning signs can be equipped with a lock. This ensures that the numbers and letters on the signs remain securely in place and cannot be removed or altered by unauthorized persons. In addition, a lockable stainless steel cover is available to protect the warning sign from dirt and damage.

High-quality stainless steel hazardous materials warning signs are designed for long-term use in daily transportation operations. They are corrosion-resistant, weather-resistant, and UV-resistant, and remain fully functional for many years even under demanding operating conditions. Furthermore, Regoplast’s hazardous materials warning signs remain fully legible even after a fire. Both the support frames and the numeric panels retain their original shape. See our fire test for more information.

The warning signs must be clearly visible and securely attached to the vehicle. Depending on the type of transport, they are generally located on the front and rear of the vehicle or on the transport unit. The markings must be clearly legible at all times, must not be obscured, and must not detach from the vehicle even in the event of an accident.

The hazard number—also known as the Kemler number—describes the primary hazard of a substance. For example, it indicates whether a substance is flammable, toxic, corrosive, or oxidizing. When combined with the UN number, it allows for rapid identification of the hazardous material being transported.

Regular replacement is not required. However, warning signs must be clearly legible, undamaged, and in compliance with applicable regulations at all times. If they are damaged, heavily soiled, or no longer clearly recognizable, they should be replaced.
