The SACGA has grown over the past two years to reach 23 members represented by major gas companies, equipment manufacturers, distributors, pipeline installers and cylinder revalidators. The Association has a mission statement specifically related to promoting safety in the industry and has direct affiliations with BCGA, CGA and EIGA.
The current Chairman is Barry Little, Technical Manager of Air Products (South Africa) but the Chair is rotated on a 2-yearly basis between the three major gas companies in South Africa, Afrox (BOC), Air Products and Air Liquide. The Vice-Chairperson, Laurie Raison of Air Liquide, will succeed Barry Little in June this year. Albert Spencer was for a number of years the General Secretary of SACGA but has reverted to Technical Advisor in the past 2 years.
SACGA’s membership presently only represents companies in South Africa but there are plans to enrol members from other SADC (Southern Africa Development Community) countries in the near future.
SACGA is represented on all technical committees of the South African Bureau of Standards covering all aspects of medical and industrial gases. The board of SACGA meets 4 times a year and an AGM is held
in June.
