Key Ideas
  • Richard Griffiths and Caitlin Sargeant appointed as chairs of technical subcommittees at BCGA, focusing on cryogenics & pressure systems and hydrogen & other gaseous fuels respectively.
  • Griffiths aims to offer competence-based guidance, moving away from prescriptive language for pressure systems, while Sargeant plans to identify gaps in best practices for hydrogen and alternative fuels.
  • BCGA's nine technical subcommittees, comprising member representatives, develop technical publications like codes of practice and guidance notes that influence the compressed gases industry both locally and globally.
  • The new appointments are intended to enhance the association's technical initiatives, with a focus on driving innovation and regulatory compliance in the gas sector.
Richard Griffiths from BOC and Caitlin Sargeant from Hykit have been appointed as chairs of technical subcommittees at the British Compressed Gases Association (BCGA). Griffiths will lead TSC1, focusing on Cryogenics & Pressure Systems, emphasizing competence-based guidance for working with pressure systems. Sargeant will chair TSC9, concentrating on Hydrogen & Other Gaseous Fuels to identify gaps in current best practices and regulations, particularly for hydrogen. The BCGA, known for its technical publications like codes of practice, operates nine TSCs comprised of member representatives who contribute to the industry's standards. The association's Chief Executive, Ellen Daniels, expressed gratitude to the outgoing chairs and highlighted the significance of the new appointments in driving the BCGA's technical advancements and supporting the gas industry's development.
