Who does ASSE Series Standard 6035 apply to?

The ASSE Series Standard 6035 is specifically designed to apply to workers who maintain medical gas systems. This standard sets forth the qualification to ensure that personnel engaged in the maintenance and repair of medical gas systems are properly trained and knowledgeable about the requirements and safety protocols associated with these systems. The intent is to guarantee that these workers adhere to the necessary codes and practices to ensure both patient safety and the integrity of medical gas systems.

In this context, the focus is on maintenance teams who are responsible for routine inspections, repairs, and overall management of these systems. These workers must possess an understanding of the various types of medical gases, their use, and the corresponding regulatory standards. By equipping them with specialized knowledge through certification, the ASSE Series Standard 6035 helps in enhancing safety and compliance within healthcare settings.

Other roles, such as inspectors, healthcare professionals who utilize gas systems, or educators in medical gas standards, while relevant to the overall framework of medical gas applications, do not fall under the specific purview of this standard. Each of these groups may have different training and certification requirements geared towards their unique responsibilities within the healthcare system.
