About us
For more than 100 years, the Compressed Gas Association (CGA) has been dedicated to the development and promotion of safety standards and safe practices for our industry. Our trade association promotes the safe, secure, and environmentally responsible manufacture, transportation, storage, transfilling, and disposal of industrial, medical, and food gases and their containers. More than 130 companies worldwide are members of the Compressed Gas Association, from multinational corporations to family-owned businesses. These companies represent all facets of the industry: manufacturers, distributors, suppliers, and transporters of gases, cryogenic liquids, and related products. Our sphere of influence encompasses industrial, medical, food, and specialty gases in compressed or liquefied form, as well as a range of gas handling equipment. Compressed gases provide the invisible ingredient in millions of products used in everyday life. Together, our members supply products to industries that account for nearly 30% of the U.S. gross domestic product. In fact, every job our industry creates generates 2.3 additional jobs elsewhere in the economy. We use a committee system comprised of member volunteers to develop technical specifications, safety standards, and training and educational materials. We also work with government agencies to help formulate and promote compliance with responsible regulations and standards. Additionally, CGA works in close cooperation with other industrial gas associations around the world to harmonize standards and advance safety for the industry worldwide.

We are pleased to see several Compressed Gas Association (CGA) standards included in this list. Over the past decade, our Medical Devices Committee has been dedicated to advocating for the adoption of standards that address the unique requirements and safety considerations of medical gases and devices. We look forward to continuing our collaborative efforts with the FDA. #MedicalDevices #MedicalGases #CGAStandards #FDA #HealthcareSafety #MedicalInnovation #PatientSafety #Compliance #StandardsInHealthcare #GasSafety #RegulatoryAffairs
We updated our Recognized Consensus Standards database, known as “List 63.” The update includes newly FDA recognized standards for medical device sterilization and interoperability and other changes. List 63 also includes new versions of existing recognized standards. Find out more: https://lnkd.in/e5rjGGP

Flammable gases are widely used in various applications, from heating to vehicle fuels. However, they pose significant fire hazards when mixed with air. The Compressed Gas Association's safety poster offers essential guidance on handling, equipment, and storage to mitigate these risks. Remember, each gas has unique hazards. Always read the container label and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed instructions and safety precautions before use. Stay informed, stay safe! https://lnkd.in/eQhXVw-A #FlammableGas #SafetyFirst #CGA
