🎯 Steps for Inspecting and Accepting Installations & Equipment in Medical Gas Systems | Site Engineer Guide
📍In healthcare projects, precision during the inspection and handover of the medical gas system is critical. As a site engineer, your technical checks play a key role in ensuring safety and compliance.
✅ 1. Verify Drawings and Design Compliance
Make sure all installations match the approved shop drawings and design codes like HTM 02-01 or ISO 7396-1.
✅ 2. Check Materials and Equipment Before Installation
Review quality certificates (CE, ISO, Manufacturer Data Sheets).
Inspect pipes, outlets, valves, and components for damage or mismatch.
Confirm gas type labeling (O₂, VAC, MA4, AGSS, etc.).
✅ 3. Physical Site Inspection
Check brazing joints, alignment, and support spacing.
Verify correct flow direction and gas line color coding.
Ensure outlets and valves are installed per layout and securely fixed.
✅ 4. Pre-Commissioning Tests
Perform pressure testing to check for leaks.
Use soap solution or electronic detectors for leak identification.
Purge lines using clean, dry nitrogen.
✅ 5. Documentation & Handover
Submit an Inspection Request (IR) with all drawings, certificates, and photos.
Get consultant sign-off on inspection reports.
Keep a detailed site diary for each activity and observation.
🎓 Note:
A safe and reliable medical gas system starts with accurate inspection and handover.
Your attention to detail today ensures patient safety tomorrow.
