ADR special provision 637

GMMOs/GMOs not dangerous to people or animals are outside ADR if authorised by origin, transit and destination authorities.

Genetically modified microorganisms and organisms under this entry are those harmless to humans and animals but able to alter animals, plants, microbiological substances and ecosystems in ways that cannot occur naturally. They fall outside ADR when the authorities of the origin, transit and destination countries have authorised their use. Live animals may be used to carry them only when there is no other way. Easily perishable consignments need handling information such as a cooling temperature, "carry frozen" or "do not freeze".

Note. A footnote points to Part C of EU Directive 2001/18/EC for the authorisation procedure in the EU.
