Over the last two years, CGA has worked to identify opportunities and develop a strategy for translating CGA publications into Spanish to facilitate adoption and acceptance in Mexico, Central America, and South America. In 2021, a task force of members was formed to evaluate the opportunities and strategy to translating a select group of publications to test demand and reach of the translations.

The following publications were identified by the task force for translation and are now available for download:

• CGA C-6 12TH ED (2019), Standard for Visual Inspection of Steel Compressed Gas Cylinders (13th Edition Translation coming soon)
• CGA C-6.1 7TH ED (2019), Standard for Visual Inspection of High Pressure Aluminum Alloy Compressed Gas Cylinders
• CGA C-6.3 4TH ED (2019), Standard for Visual Inspection of Low Pressure Aluminum Alloy Compressed Gas Cylinders
• CGA C-13 7TH ED (2018), Standard for Periodic Visual Inspection and Requalification of Acetylene Cylinders

CGA encourages members to share these resources with their colleagues in Mexico, Central America, and South America.

CGA members can access the Spanish translations of these publications using the following steps:

1. Log in to portal https://portal.cganet.com and find the publication’s English version (e.g., C-6.1)
2. Click on the “Access E-Pub” button, which will transfer you to Compass
3. Above the publication ID and title, on the right-top of page, you will see “Translation: English” pull down the arrow and click on “Spanish”
4. The Spanish translation will open in the window.
