HTM 2022 medical gas pipeline systems.

The new edition of HTM 2022 was published in April 1994 and supersedes HTM 22 which was last published in 1978. The new HTM was prepared following extensive consultation within the NHS and with contractors, manufacturers and other health care professionals. This article summarises the significant changes and developments which have been incorporated into the new HTM 2022. These developments are operational and technical and have considerable implications for Estates Managers. There are many significant changes in HTM 2022 for example Validation and Verification. It is strongly recommended that all staff who are in any way responsible for the operation of a medical gas pipeline system should attend an appropriate training or updating course.
