There are 5 CO2 Quality Verification Levels: Different qualities for different purposes

The Compressed Gas Association (CGA) has defined five different Quality Verification Levels (QVLs) with different specifications for various applications. The QVLs specify the allowable levels for impurities found in the other sources of carbon dioxide.

When it comes to purchasing CO2, there are several quality levels, each for different applications. The quality level served in restaurants is not required by law to be beverage quality; however, QVL I is the only grade intended for consumption. CO2 is a food ingredient and should be given the same consideration as all food ingredients. NuCO2 guarantees that each batch of CO2 delivered to your restaurant meets the rigorous standard of being Certified Beverage Grade QVL I quality.
