Goal and purpose

DIN EN ISO 7396-1 specifies requirements for the design, installation, function, performance, documentation, testing and commissioning of piping systems for pressurised medical gases and vacuum in healthcare facilities to ensure the consistency of delivery of the correct gas and the provision of vacuum through the piping system. It includes requirements for supply systems, pipework distribution systems, control systems, monitoring and alarm systems and non-interchangeability between components of different gas systems. It applies to oxygen, oxygen-enriched air, nitrous oxide, respiratory gas, carbon dioxide, oxygen-nitrous oxide mixtures, air and nitrogen for the operation of surgical instruments and vacuum pipework systems.
