No, it doesn’t. The transport legislation is still valid, even if there are some analogies between GHS and ADR and DOT. In fact the GHS Purple book and Orange books (from which ADR derives) are written by the same ONU Commission. There are a lot of similarities between GHS physical hazard and ADR classes.
