The CAGs have proven to be an immeasurably valuable tool to a wide variety of professionals in our industry, such as safety professionals, industrial hygienists, facility engineers, and quality personnel. Their primary purpose is to apply our combined knowledge of applicable guidelines and standards to the work we do and bring the user to the forefront of the industry. The CAGs have also been used for training and to better understand a standard or guideline. In addition, CETA application guide(s) have been referred to in USP General Chapter <797>, and are used to help train, guide, and educate technicians and professionals across our industry.
As of January 2012, CETA application guides are available to CETA members as a free download. Join CETA to be able to access the below documents in their entirety. ($295 for a CETA Membership).
