How these meanings are written
Table A gives each dangerous-goods entry a row of codes; what a code requires is set out in another chapter of ADR. Each page here says what one code does, for which goods and under which conditions, with its numbers and units exactly as ADR states them, and names the volume, section and page of ADR 2025 (ECE/TRANS/352) where the provision is printed. Only a provision's own heading is quoted; the rest is in our own words, and a check fails the build if any ten consecutive words match the publication.
Tunnel restriction codes and transport categories are explained on the tunnel codes page and in the 1.1.3.6 calculator. The same meanings are served by the API (/api/adr/codes, and resolved_codes on /api/adr) and by the MCP tools.
