NITC has been the leader in the qualifying of medical gas installers for brazing since the
Medical Gas Verifier 6030
early 1990’s. From the start NITC had a single practical test for brazing which became the
industry standard for the qualification of ASSE 6010 Installers. As the requirements for Brazing Medical Gas Maintenance Personnel 6040
of Medical Gas and Vacuum System piping have evolved over the years, NITC has found it

necessary to implement some important changes that (1) reflect the most up-to-date industry
practices and (2) ensure compliance with the changes to the codes and standards. NITC has Medical Gas Brazing Processes
recently qualified additional Practical Braze Tests to cover the full range of copper tube sizes used
for the installation of Medical Gas Systems as required by the latest editions of the NFPA 99 STAR HVACR Mastery
Healthcare Facilities Code and ASME Section IX Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. The additional STAR Plumbing Mastery
