1. Med Gas testing: Please provide a proposal from a qualified medical gas inspection and testing agency. The agency is to perform tests and inspections of the medical gas piping.
The proposal is to include:
Test and Inspections
1 Perform test, inspection, verification and certification of medical compressed oxygen piping systems concurrently with tests, inspections, and certification of medical vacuum piping and medical gas piping systems.
2 Perform the following installer tests according to requirements in NFPA 99 and ASSE Standard #6010 Initial blow down, initial pressure test, cross- connection test, piping purging test, standing pressure test for positive-pressure medical compressed oxygen piping, and repair leaks and retest until no leaks exist.
System Verification
3 Comply with requirements in NFPA 99, ASSE Standard #6020 and ASSE Standard #6030 for verification of medical compressed oxygen piping systems and perform the following tests and inspections. Standard pressure test, individual-pressuration or pressure-differential, cross-connection test, valve test, master and area alarm tests, piping purge test, piping particulate test, piping purity test, final tie-in test, operational pressure test, medical purity test, and verify correct labeling of equipment and components.
Testing Certification
4 Certify that specified tests, inspections, and procedures have been performed and certify results. Inspections performed, procedures, materials, and gases used, test methods used, and results of tests.
