How often do we need medical gas certification?

Full medical gas certification by an ASSE 6030 Verifier is required whenever a new system is installed or an existing system is modified (e.g., adding an operating room, moving outlets). This is different from annual inspections, which are performed on a yearly basis to ensure ongoing system health.

What is the difference between certification and verification?

The terms are often used interchangeably. More precisely, "verification" is the technical process of testing performed by the ASSE 6030 professional. "Certification" is the end result—the official documentation and status conferred upon the system once it passes all verification tests.

Who can perform medical gas certification in Florida?

According to NFPA 99 and as enforced by AHCA, only an individual holding a current ASSE 6030 Medical Gas Verifier credential can legally perform the verification and issue the certification report.

How long does the medical gas certification process take?

The duration depends on the size and complexity of the project. A small dental office modification may take a day, while a new hospital wing can take several days to a week, including the mandatory 24-hour standing pressure test.

What happens if our facility fails the verification?

If a system fails any part of the test, the ASSE 6030 verifier will detail the deficiencies in a report. The ASSE 6010 installer must then perform a correction. The verifier will then re-test the deficient part of the system until it passes. The system cannot be used for patient care until all tests are passed and the final certification is issued.
