AIGA

What AIGA does

AIGA (Asia Industrial Gases Association) is a non-profit industry association registered as a society in Singapore, founded in 2002 by leading industrial gases companies operating in Asia (countries east of Pakistan, excluding Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and South Pacific nations). Its mission is to raise safety and environmental standards across Asian countries by bringing together national industrial gases associations and major industry players — including Air Liquide, Air Products, Linde, Messer, Taiyo Nippon Sanso, Iwatani, Yingde Gases, and AirPower Technologies — to harmonize technical standards and practices, share accident and incident learnings, and provide governments with standards and information for the preparation of laws and regulations. AIGA maintains regional presence through its Singapore headquarters, a Bengaluru secretariat office, and the AIGA China Representative Office (operating since 2004), and operates in cooperation with CGA (US), EIGA (Europe), and JIMGA (Japan) for global standards harmonization.

AIGA's core products are technical publications (standards, safety bulletins, position papers, best practice documents, and harmonized publications such as the AIGA 132/26 cryogenic equipment guidelines and the AIGA 009-series safety training leaflets), free anonymous e-learning courses for safety awareness training, the hydrogen safety ecosystem platform at h2safety.info (launched June 2022 in collaboration with CGA, EIGA, and JIMGA, with EIGA in the lead role), and webinars on topics such as hydrogen transport safety and specialty gases. The association runs a Safety Advisory Group and Technical Committee with working groups on medical gases, and publishes newsletters, bi-monthly news, and safety posters. Underlying technology is a public website (asiaiga.org) hosting over 124,182 recorded site visits, plus PDF publications, video e-learning modules, and the static hydrogen safety visualization site.

AIGA is funded primarily by membership dues from industrial gases companies (Category-1 full members and Category-2 members) and national gas associations across Asia, classified as recurring subscription revenue. Publications are made available to the general public free of charge, with member-only content accessible via login credentials, and e-learning is open to all users at no cost. The association is governed by a Board of Directors comprising executives from member companies (currently led by Lefevere Kurt, President of Air Products Asia, for the 2025-2027 term), with the 72nd Board Meeting and 24th AGM held on 25 November 2025 in Singapore.
