Frequently Asked Questions
Who needs ASSE medical gas certification?
ASSE 6000 certification is necessary for professionals who install, inspect, verify, maintain, or design medical gas and vacuum systems in healthcare facilities, as required under NFPA 99. For example, medical gas installers must receive ASSE 6010 certification, while maintenance technicians should have ASSE 6040 credentials. Receiving such training through Evergreen Medical Services means facilities can maintain compliance and patient safety with the right expertise.
What is the difference between a medical gas inspector and a medical gas verifier?
Although both roles are critical for proper operation and compliance of medical gas systems, they serve different compliance checkpoints. A medical gas systems inspector ensures medical gas installations comply with NFPA 99 and other design requirements during and after construction. On the other hand, a verifier is responsible for performing required medical gas testing and documentation before the systems are placed into service.
Do I need prior experience to enroll in an ASSE 6000 course?
Our ASSE series of training programs prepare participants for third-party credentialing exams. The eligibility requirements for these sessions vary by their course level, with some requiring documented work experience before eligibility for certification. We recommend reaching out to one of our experts to provide clarification on your prerequisites before signing up for one of our courses.
Can medical gas certification be completed online?
We offer flexible formats for our ASSE courses, including online self-paced options as well as in-person classroom sessions and on-site facility maintenance training. Although the coursework may be completed online, be aware that the certification exams are administered through third-party accredited agencies.
How often do ASSE medical gas certifications need to be renewed?
ASSE 6000 credentials must be renewed on a periodic basis, typically every three years. This means professionals must undergo renewal courses and meet continuing education requirements to stay current with updated NFPA standards and code changes. Evergreen Medical Services offers complete renewal training to ensure medical gas systems personnel maintain their certifications.
