Non-profit organisations or associations have been established in many countries by those companies active in all aspects of the industrial gases industry.
The term ‘industrial gases’ refers to gases such as acetylene, argon, ammonia, carbon dioxide, chlorine, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen, that are used in a wide range of applications and also includes speciality gases and equipment used in the electronics, food, scientific & medical sectors.
The main purpose of these organisations is to develop and maintain technical standards for equipment used by the industry, to assist in the preparation of practicable and relevant legislation and regulations, and to liaise on technical and safety matters affecting the industry as a whole.
The membership of these organisations includes manufacturers and distributors of gases, manufacturers of gas cylinders, gas valves, gas regulators, gas welding and cutting equipment, other equipment and systems used with gases and the designers, and installers of pipework systems for the distribution of gases. Associate membership is available to companies, organisations and individuals who have a training, technical or other related interest in the work of the association.
