MEDICAL GAS CERTIFICATION

In order to become certified under ASSE Series 6000, the Medical Gas Installer will be required to prove he has had the required minimum of thirty-two (32) hours of training. Inspectors will need twenty-four (24) hours, and Verifiers thirty-two (32) hours. They will also need to demonstrate knowledge of the National Fire Protection Association’s ANSI/NFPA Standard 99C on Gas and Vacuum Systems. Medical Gas Systems Installers must pass the required brazing test in the A.S.M.E. Section IX Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. To the uninformed and general public this may not seem that important, but to the piping industry and medical facility during  construction and remodel, and to every patient, it should be of the utmost importance! This is a giant step forward in protecting the public.
