Second check for dangerous goods · ADR 2025

A second pair of eyesfor dangerous goods.

Photograph the package and add the transport document. Cantell reads every marking, compares it with the paperwork and applies ADR 2025 rules. When the evidence isn’t enough, it says “cannot verify” instead of guessing.

  • The model only reads
  • ADR 2025 rules decide
  • You keep the final say

01How it works

From photo to findings, without the guesswork.

Follow one check from the first photo to the final findings.

  1. Photograph the package.

    Use your phone camera or upload existing files: the full package first, then each relevant side. Add the transport document as a PDF or a photo.

    Up to 8 packaging photos or 10 document pages, 20 MB per file.

  2. Every marking is read. Twice.

    Two independent readings look for UN numbers, hazard labels, limited quantity marks, lithium battery marks and orientation arrows. Each reading keeps its source: which photo, where on it, and how clearly it was seen.

    A blurred side stays unread. It never becomes a guess.

  3. Package and paperwork, side by side.

    Cantell matches what is on the package with the transport document, item by item and field by field. You confirm which document item belongs to which package.

    Here, the box says UN 1263 and the document says UN 1266.

  4. ADR 2025 rules decide. Not the model.

    The readings are checked against ADR 2025: Table A, marking and labelling, the transport document, mixed packing and mixed loading. Every decision cites the rule it comes from, and the same readings always lead to the same decision.

    RID 2025 is available for rail.

  5. Findings you can check yourself.

    Every finding comes with a status, its evidence and the rule behind it. Where the evidence isn’t enough, Cantell says so and tells you which photo would settle it. Qualified human review still applies.

    Export the result as a PDF report for your records.

02What Cantell checks

Five checks. One clear picture.

Start with a package or a document and add the other when you have it. Cantell connects the evidence; you confirm what belongs together.

Package markings

Every visible marking across up to eight photos of one package, read twice and tied to the photo and position it came from.

  • UN number
  • Hazard labels
  • LQ and LQ (Y)
  • Excepted quantities
  • Lithium battery mark
  • Environmentally hazardous
  • Cargo aircraft only
  • Orientation arrows

Package + document

The two sources side by side. Details that don’t agree surface as findings, not footnotes.

Two sources. One picture.

Transport document

UN number, proper shipping name, class, packing group, packaging, quantity and number of packages, each finding tied to the exact page, item and field.

Packaging rules

The packing instruction and packaging type you used, checked against ADR 2025 for the goods identified.

Mixed packing & loading

When a shipment holds several products, Cantell checks whether they may be packed or loaded together under ADR 4.1.10 and 7.5.2.

03Who it’s for

For teams that pack and ship dangerous goods.

  • Packing and warehouse teams

    A quick second look before the box leaves the bench. Photograph it, fix what’s flagged, move on.

  • Shipping coordinators

    Package and paperwork checked against each other before the truck arrives.

  • Dangerous goods safety advisers

    Evidence, rule references and a full history for reviewing your team’s work. Your judgement stays final.

04Reliability over guesswork

It would rather say “cannot verify” than guess.

A confident wrong answer is worse than an honest gap. So Cantell keeps reading and deciding apart, and shows its work.

  1. 01

    The model only reads

    It reports what is visible and how clearly. It never decides whether a shipment may travel.

  2. 02

    Rules decide

    ADR 2025 and RID 2025 rules, applied the same way every time. Each decision cites its paragraph.

  3. 03

    Gaps stay visible

    Unclear evidence becomes VERIFY IMAGE or NOT CHECKED, with the next step to resolve it. A poor photo never turns into a PASS.

Every finding gets one of seven statuses.

PASS
The feature agrees with the stated requirement. Human validation still applies.
ISSUE
A feature conflicts with the requirement or with the submitted information.
MISSING
Clear evidence shows that a required element is absent.
VERIFY IMAGE
Something is or may be there, but can’t be identified reliably.
REVIEW REQUIRED
Conflicting evidence prevents an automated conclusion.
NOT CHECKED
The material or the loaded rules don’t allow this check.
NOT APPLICABLE
This check doesn’t apply to the transport arrangement.

07FAQ

Questions, answered.

info@cantell.dk

Does Cantell approve my shipment?

No. Cantell is a second check of visible evidence. It does not certify compliance, classify goods or approve transport, and a PASS applies only to the stated check. Qualified human review is still required.

What happens when a photo isn’t clear enough?

The finding becomes VERIFY IMAGE or NOT CHECKED, never a guess, and Cantell tells you which side or detail to photograph again. A poor photo does not prove that a label is damaged or missing.

Which transport modes are supported?

Road (ADR 2025) and rail (RID 2025) checks are available for supported requirements. Sea (IMDG) and air (IATA) regulatory data is not loaded, so those checks show as NOT CHECKED. Each result states what was checked and what still needs review.

Can I use it on my phone?

Yes. Capture photos with your phone camera or upload existing files. The same workspace works on desktop.

Which files can I add?

JPG, PNG and HEIC photos, plus PDF documents. Up to 8 packaging photos or 10 document pages, 20 MB per file.

Who can see our checks?

Checks belong to your company’s workspace. Your admins decide who has access and with which role: admin, operator or viewer.

Is a trial automatically included?

No. Trial access and its allowance are approved by Cantell. Creating an account does not activate a paid plan.
