This eLearning focuses on hydrogen safety – a key safety topic for the industrial gases industry. This part covers the "Introduction to hydrogen"

This eLearning focuses on oxygen safety – a key safety topic for the industrial gases industry. For further information on oxygen safety, see EIGA publications: EIGA Doc 04, Fire Hazards of Oxygen and Oxygen Enriched Atmospheres EIGA Doc 13, Oxygen Pipeline and Piping Systems EIGA Doc 33, Cleaning of Equipment for Oxygen Service

This Training Material is for the EIGA coupling that is an industry standard for connecting transfilling hoses of production plant loading points to mobile equipment. This Training Package is intended for all users of the EIGA coupling including those who train users.

This Training Material explains the safe use of opening, closing and using an integrated cylinder valve on medicinal oxygen gas cylinders.

If the supply pressure in cylinders/bundles is higher than the end user installation service pressure, using a pressure reducing valve with a built-in, pre-set, pressure reducer, is a popular solution to avoid the re-design of a customer installation.

A Medical Gas Pipeline System (MGPS) is a singular medical device, and this type of equipment has been put into service in several countries under the Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC (MDD). However, the conformity assessment and classification have not been harmonised across EU Member States. With the introduction of the MDR, the requirements applying to the MGPS need to be appropriately assessed because of potential implications. This publication provides guidance on which MDR rules apply, resulting in a class IIa classification.

This publication explains what is allowed on import, export, filling, storing, transporting and use of TPED cylinders for use under DOT jurisdiction, and DOT cylinders under ADR jurisdiction.

This Technical Bulletin gives guidance on the interpretation of the GSPR in annex I of the MDR, when applied to liquid nitrogen (LIN) as a medical device, i.e for cryotherapy and cryopreservation, and to provide recommendations on how to implement them.

This Technical Bulletin provides guidance on the interpretation of the General Safety and Performance Requirements in annex I of the Medical Device Regulation, when applied to gaseous Carbon Dioxide as a medical device, i.e. for insufflation, and to provide recommendations on how to implement them.
