G-8.1: Standard for Nitrous Oxide Systems at Customer Sites

Abstract

This standard covers the general design principles recommended for the installation of nitrous oxide central supply systems (either cylinders connected to a common manifold, or systems fed by bulk liquid containers) at medical or industrial consumer sites. Special reference to protecting the system, patients, personnel, and property from fire originating from sources other than the system itself.

This standard does not apply to nitrous oxide manufacturing plants and normally does not apply to distributor bulk stations. However, where distributor bulk stations interface closely with business or facilities unrelated to the handling of nitrous oxide, or where the general public can be exposed to such bulk facilities, the applicable safety provisions of this standard shall be followed.
