CGA stands for?

• A. Centralized Gas Administration
• B. Controlled Gas Association
• C. Chemical Guidance Authority
• D. Compressed Gas Association

Answer: (D)

Think of the common organizations that set safety standards for handling gases. CGA stands for Compressed Gas Association, the trade group that develops and publishes the standards and guidelines used for safe manufacturing, storage, labeling, handling, and usage of compressed gases. This body also designates specific fittings and connections (CGA fittings and CGA numbers) to ensure regulators and cylinders match correctly, preventing dangerous leaks or misconnections. The other phrasing in the options doesn’t represent the recognized industry body responsible for these standards, so the familiar and authoritative name in this context is Compressed Gas Association.
