International Harmonization Update
The International Harmonization Council (IHC) was formed in 1998 to manage the global harmonization of industry standards. The IHC includes representation from the Compressed Gas Association (CGA), the Asia Industrial Gases Association (AIGA), the European Industrial Gases Association (EIGA), and the Japan Industrial and Medical Gases Association (JIMGA). Today, the IHC maintains a portfolio of more than 70 harmonized standards.
