Medical Gas and Vacuum Systems Certification (ASSE 6000 series)
ASSE International's Series 6000 Professional Qualifications Standards for piped medical gas and vacuum systems in healthcare facilities. The series deliberately splits the work across separate certifications by role, so that the person who verifies a system is never the person who installed it. Every ASSE certification recertifies on a three-year cycle.
