The Forum has always served as a great platform to discuss and share our interpretations on a variety of medical gas code related subject matter. Now we also want to offer it as a vehicle to make recommendations for changes to the next edition. We have added another Forum discussion entitled "CGA M-1, Next Edition”. This thread is intended to track specific discussions regarding updates that any member is brave enough to post. If the discussion results in a general consensus, the Codes & Legislative Committee (Legal) will develop a Technical Document to be submitted to the Board of Directors. Given approval, this document will be submitted to CGA on behalf of MGPHO as a recommended change to the upcoming document. We ask that everyone posts their recommendations and provide feedback by June 30th, in order to provide the Committee and BOD with adequate time for the review and submittal process.
Due to the fact that CGA has a relatively formal process in place already, we also ask that anyone posting an initial thread do so using the following format:
- List the code #(s) and the text included within that reference as it is listed in the previous edition
- State your recommended change as you would like to see it written in the next edition of the document
- Provide a brief statement justifying your reason for the change
