1Which member association assesses competence for SAQCC Gas registration in the compressed industrial and medical gases category?
A.SACGA (Southern Africa Compressed Gases Association)
B.LPGSA (Liquefied Petroleum Gas Association of South Africa)
C.SARACCA (South African Refrigeration & Air Conditioning Contractors Association)
D.SAGA (Southern African Gas Association)
Explanation: SAQCC Gas is mandated by the Department of Employment and Labour to register gas practitioners. SACGA assesses competence for compressed industrial and medical gases; LPGSA covers LPG, SARACCA covers refrigeration gases, and SAGA covers natural gas reticulation.
2A SAQCC Gas authorised practitioner licence is typically valid for:
A.1 year only
B.10 years without refresher
C.Life registration with no renewal
D.3 years before renewal with proof of continued competence
Explanation: SAQCC Gas issues gas practitioners a three-year licence. Both initial registration and renewal require proof of competence, supported by association training and refresher requirements.
3SACGA registration for compressed-gas practitioners is assessed primarily through:
A.Automatic registration upon purchasing cylinders
B.Municipal plumbing trade-test results alone
C.Portfolio of evidence reviewed case-by-case by the SACGA Registration Working Group
D.A single national multiple-choice examination only
Explanation: SACGA does not operate one centralised written exam. Competence is assessed from documentary evidence — qualifications, experience, installation records, and employer motivation — reviewed by the SACGA Registration Working Group.
4SACGA offers two main registration licence categories for compressed-gas practitioners:
A.Import and Export only
B.Design and Excl-Design (installation, maintenance and repair without design)
C.Domestic and Commercial only
D.Refrigeration and LPG only
Explanation: SACGA registration categories are Design (including gas-system design competence) and Excl-Design covering installation, maintenance, and repair without design authority. Design applicants must demonstrate additional standards, legislation, and HAZOP knowledge.
5Minimum proven experience typically required for initial SACGA compressed-gas practitioner registration is:
A.In excess of 3 years in the compressed gas industry
B.6 months part-time only
C.No experience if matric is held
D.20 years regardless of qualifications
Explanation: SACGA registration criteria include in excess of three years proven experience in the compressed gas industry, plus acceptable secondary education and relevant tertiary or technical education, employment history, and details of past installations.
6After SACGA approves an application, final registration of the gas practitioner is issued by:
A.The cylinder manufacturer directly
B.The local fire department exclusively
C.SABS without SAQCC involvement
D.SAQCC Gas on behalf of the Department of Employment and Labour
Explanation: SAQCC Gas is officially mandated by the Department of Employment and Labour to maintain the central register of authorised gas practitioners. SACGA assesses competence; SAQCC Gas issues the registration and digital practitioner card.

A.The gas supplier on the delivery note
B.The property owner without registration
C.A registered SAQCC Gas authorised person (or approved inspection authority where applicable)
D.Any person who completed the physical pipework
Explanation: PER and SAQCC Gas require gas installations to be certified by a registered authorised person. Work by unregistered persons is illegal and cannot produce a valid CoC. Electronic CoC issuance is now the standard platform.

A.Refrigerant recovery procedures only
B.Applicable design standards, legislation, design calculations, and HAZOP analysis capability
C.Only cylinder paint colour codes
D.LPG domestic appliance commissioning exclusively
Explanation: SACGA Design applicants must prove ability to calculate design criteria, apply relevant gas design standards and legislation, and conduct HAZOP analysis. This exceeds the Excl-Design installation and maintenance scope.

A.Past five actual compressed-gas installations with level of specific responsibility
B.Only theoretical classroom attendance
C.Unrelated automotive repairs
D.Foreign gas licences without verification
