Medical Gas Certification is a requirement in Florida and in most of the United States. Plumbing companies in Florida that install, and repair, these life safety systems and equipment must be certified by an approved training agency that is certified by the Florida Construction Industry Licensing Board.
The certified medical gas installers shall maintain their certification by showing proof of brazing performance every 6 months. Students will learn the NFPA 99 Gas and Vacuum Systems code following the ASSE 6010 Standard.
