Medical Gas Installation Inspections

Medical Gas Installation Inspections

Ensuring proper patient care and employee safety is paramount in health care facilities. This is why medical gas inspection is so crucial. Newly installed medical gas systems must be inspected by a company other than the installer prior to concealing piping distribution systems in walls, ceilings, chases, trenches, or underground.   The inspection must be performed by an ASSE 6020 Medical Gas Systems Inspector or ASSE 6030 Medical Gas Systems Verifiers. 

When qualified and trained medical gas inspectors take a close look at this infrastructure, they can identify any issues before the systems have a chance to put people’s health and lives at risk. These inspections are just one facet of the many capabilities Evergreen Medical Services can bring to your facility. We can ensure your systems are safe and compliant with all relevant regulations.

Evergreen follows this new NFPA 99 code and the ASSE 6000 guidelines as per below:

A QUALIFIED ASSE 6020 OR 603O, OTHER THAN THE INSTALLING CONTRACTOR, SHALL PERFORM MEDICAL GAS PIPING INSPECTIONS PRIOR TO START OF MEDICALS GAS INSTALLATION AND AT 25%, 50%, & 75% OF COMPLETION OF ROUGH-IN PIPING WORK PRIOR TO CONCEALING PIPING DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM(S) IN WALLS, CEILINGS, CHASES, TRENCHES, UNDERGROUND, OR OTHERWISE HIDDEN FROM VIEW.   INSPECTION SHALL INCLUDE DOCUMENTATION REVIEW AND JOB SITE INSPECTIONS PER CURRENT ASSE 6000 ANNEX B “PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR MEDICAL GAS SYSTEMS,” WITNESSING INITIAL PRESSURE TESTS, INSPECTING LABELING, AND INSPECTING VALVE TAGGING.
