CGA G-15-2010 PDF Download

The CGA G-15-2010 standard is a comprehensive guide for the safe handling, storage, and transportation of gaseous fluorine and mixtures of fluorine with inert gases. The standard emphasizes the potential hazards associated with these substances, specifically due to their oxidizing potential when the fluorine concentration is equal to or greater than 0.5%.

The target audience for this standard includes suppliers, distributors, and users of fluorine and fluorine mixtures, as well as those involved in handling equipment associated with these substances. The objective of the publication is to provide a clear understanding of the risks involved and to outline an approach that minimizes the potential for incidents.

It is important to note, however, that this standard does not cover the manufacture, purification, liquefaction, or analysis of fluorine or its mixtures with inert gases. Nevertheless, the general guidance provided is also relevant to these processes. Additionally, the publication includes an audit checklist in Appendix 2, which serves as a helpful tool for ensuring compliance and safety.
