Mark Allen
Medical Gas Expert



Mark Allen has been involved in the medical gas industry since 1978. He started out of university with one of the earliest certification firms when the “certification” of medical gas systems was a concept yet to be widely accepted. He transitioned to industry in 1985 and since then has been involved in virtually all aspects of medical gas work, including testing and verification, regulatory, advocacy, product development, marketing, and education. Mark is an active member of the National Fire Protection Association Technical Committee on Medical Gas and Vacuum Systems and the Canadian Standards Association Technical Committee on Medical Gas and Vacuum Systems; he acts as secretary of the ISO TC121/SC6/WG4 committee dealing with the ISO medical gases standard; and he is Chair of the Medigham Oxygen Concentrators Industry Association. He has been honored by the MGPHO Verifier’s organization as a special expert. Mark is the author of numerous journal articles, design guides, and other technical aids for the engineering of medical gases. He is now retired from his formal roles in industry, but remains involved in many activities related to better medical gas systems, including instruction for ASSE credentials, particularly the 6060 (Designer) course.
