The Australian Gas Association has served the Australian gas industry since 1925 as Australia’s membership gas industry association. Further, the association has been known as the AGA since 1962, when the National Gas Association and the Australian Gas Institute merged. There are many reasons why AGA was created. The most important include, the development of our gas Standards, certification of gas products and monitoring of certified gas products Indeed, given AGA’s roots and make up in being not-for-profit and membership based, AGA’s primary objective is “safety” and not “profit” driven.
AGA also works closely with each state and territory government regulatory authority. Even through AGA’s approval scheme precedes the formation of most of the regulatory authorities, AGA’s Schemes have been accepted and adopted under every legislation.
