The Romanian Association of Explosives and Blasting Engineering, created in July 2015, is a non-governmental, non-profit and apolitical association. ARDE's goal is the unitary representation of the interests of its members in the non-commercial relations between them and the central and local authorities in Romania, as well as internationally, directly involved in the production processes, commercialization (import-export and distribution) and use of industrial explosives. ARDE represents the unification of the main operators in the field in Romania.
