Medical gas testing records drafted from your crew's logs, before the verifier is booked.

Take a surgical suite renovation in a hospital wing: new outlets for oxygen, medical air and vacuum, nitrous oxide in two rooms, a WAGD line, zone valve boxes and an area alarm. Before a verifier is booked, your crew runs the installer tests one system at a time and logs them: pressures with start and stop times, a photo of each gauge, the outlets flowed for the cross-connection test, a leak found at a joint and rebrazed. Someone then writes up the area's testing record, pulls the brazing papers into the job file, and the ASSE 6010 foreman signs.

In the proof of concept, AI builds the draft testing record for each area from the same logs and photos, and lists every missing date, reading, hold time, witness and brazer record. It never marks a test passed, signs the record or speaks to a verifier. Your foreman sets each draft beside the record the crew actually signed.

The record lists seven tests, with a row for each system. The installer performance testing record Hamilton County Public Health in Ohio posts, revised in September 2014, says testing follows ASSE 6010 and NFPA 99, is done only by credentialed medical gas installers, and uses nitrogen NF; Kentucky's Department of Housing, Buildings and Construction posts a record of the same title. The tests run in order: initial blowdown, initial pressure test, initial pressure test for vacuum piping, initial cross-connection test one system at a time, piping purge, then 24-hour standing tests for positive pressure piping and for vacuum. Rows run from oxygen, medical air, nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide and nitrogen to instrument air, medical-surgical vacuum and WAGD, under the columns date, tested by, pass or fail, and test accepted by. The initial pressure test is at one and a half times working pressure with a 150 psig floor, and the standing vacuum test holds 12 inches of mercury.

Brazing papers come before the first joint. The 2025 California Plumbing Code wants installers certified to ASSE/IAPMO/ANSI 6010, and before any installation work it has the installer keep the brazing procedure and brazer qualification records on the job site. Those records state the filler metal, base metals, cleaning and joint clearance. A brazer qualifies on a test coupon examined visually and then sectioned, and stays qualified indefinitely unless more than six months pass without brazing under that procedure or there is a specific reason to doubt the brazer's ability. An employer relying on an outside group's procedure, or on a brazer's records from an earlier employer, signs and dates copies of them. The draft lists each brazer named in the logs and whether a record for that brazer is in the job file, and leaves whether it still holds to your foreman.

One test needs a witness, and the verifier wants proof of it. Under the same code, the 24-hour standing pressure test on positive pressure piping is witnessed by an ASSE 6020 inspector, an ASSE 6030 verifier, or the authority having jurisdiction or its designee, and a form showing it was performed and witnessed goes to the verifier when the verifier's tests begin. The standing vacuum test is witnessed by the authority having jurisdiction or its designee. Leaks found along the way are located, repaired or replaced, and retested. The draft lists a standing test with no witness named, and a repaired joint with no retest logged after it, as gaps for your foreman before anyone else asks.

The verifier is somebody else. New Mexico's medical gas rule, in force since November 15, 2019, has systems verified by third parties meeting ASSE 6030, who may not be, or work for, the installing contractor, the design professional or the manufacturer, or represent an equipment distributor, and no state or local inspector there issues a final inspection without complete documentation from the verifier. Installers there are certified journeymen meeting ASSE 6010, endorsed after a 32-hour course, recertified every three years and allowed up to two apprentices each on commercial work. The installer's record is the contractor's own, and this test stays on that side of the line.

What your foreman will check first: every system piped in the area listed under every test that applies to it, pressures and hold times carried from the logs into the right test, retests after a repair kept as their own entries, tested-by names that match certified installers on the job, and the accepted-by and witness lines left blank for the people who sign them.

After your foreman's yes, records for new areas are drafted for about 30 days as crews hand in their logs.

Every draft goes to the installer who ran the tests. They correct it, make every pass or fail call, sign it and hand it on to the verifier as they do today. No draft goes to a facility, an inspector or a verifier on its own.

The live job is priced at a fixed figure agreed after the test. Backflow reports, or another job, are priced on their own, and monthly support starts once a job is live.
