The AIGA week in Shanghai culminated in the 19th IHC Meeting from 14 to 15 September after the conclusion of the AIGA 2006 Meeting.
IHC is acting under the umbrella of the IOMA Global Committee and the initiative to work on the harmonisation of recommendations or standards for the gases industry started in the late 90´s.
The IHC is the council comprising representatives from the major regional associations, CGA for USA and Canada, EIGA for the area of Europe, North African states and Middle East (EIGA also reports on behalf of ANZIGA), JIGA for the territory of Japan and AIGA for the region from India to China except for Australia and New Zealand. Their task is to study and implement harmonised standard documents for the gas industry globally and also focus on UN regulations and ISO Standards.
