    I have a three part question.

     

    1) does the installation of medical vacuum system require an ASSE 6010 ?

     

    2) does the installation of a temporary / back up medical vacuum system require an ASSE 6010 ?

     

    3) does a temporary / back up medical vacuum system require an ASSE 6030 certifictaion ?

    In shutdown procedure using temporary vacuum pump connected on existing accessible shutoff valve and pipeline system for an extension remodeled patient rooms. AHCA required a verifier report and the connections and disconnections by certified ASSE 6010 installer with their installation report as well.

AHCA, the Joint Commission Authority, the City Medical Gas Plumbing Inspector and the Chief Maintenance Director of Engineering Dept., they all are requiring a pre-test and shutdown procedures certified verifier report. The copper fittings and adapter connections performed by certified ASSE 6010.
