CGA G-15-2018 PDF Download

The CGA G-15-2018 standard is a comprehensive guide for those involved in handling gaseous fluorine and its mixtures with inert gases. The standard specifically focuses on situations where the resulting fluorine concentrations are equal to or greater than 0.5%, as these concentrations pose a risk of reaction due to their oxidizing potential.

The primary objective of this publication is to provide a thorough understanding of the potential hazards associated with the storage, use, and transportation of compressed fluorine and its mixtures with inert gases. It also offers guidance on the measures that should be taken to minimize the risk of incidents during these activities.

It is important to note that this standard does not cover the areas of manufacture, purification, liquefaction, and analysis of fluorine or its mixtures with inert gases. However, the general guidance provided in the standard can still be relevant and applicable to these processes.

Additionally, the standard includes an appendix that contains an audit checklist. This tool can be used to assess compliance and ensure that all necessary precautions and procedures are being followed in accordance with the standard's guidelines.
