Testing under standard CSA Z275.1 applies to Hyperbaric Chambers whose primary function is for treatment related to diving operations, work under compressed-air conditions, medical treatment applications and research. Breathing air produced by compressors for use with hyperbaric chambers must be collected and analyzed every six months by an accredited testing laboratory.

CSA Z180.1-13: The testing package for CSA Z180.1-13 assesses the purity of compressed breathing air supplied to service outlets, and for breathing air systems required to produce, store and distibute such air.  This standard package is applicable to compressed breathing air and compressed breathing systems used for supplied-air respirators, supplied air suits, self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) (open circuit) and other applications where the requirements to reference the compressed breathing air purity requirements are necessary. A sample of compressed breathing air produced and delivered by a compressed breathing air system must be collected and analyzed every six months (or as specified by the authority having jurisdiction). Additional re-testing is recommended when any major overhaul or repair is completed on the system.

CSA Z7396.1 Medical Gas Pipeline Systems. Analysis under CSA Z7396.1 applies to all facilities providing health care services, in both public and private sectors, which utilize pipelines for medical gases, medical vacuums, medical support gases and anesthetic gas scavenging systems.  The standard is applicable to anyone involved in the design, construction, inspection and operation of medical gas systems. Medical gas contaminant testing is typically required whenever a system has been constructed and commissioned and when a repair, addition or modification has been made to the system.  Analysis must be completed by an accredited testing facility.
