The future guideline is mainly intended to provide all WHO Member States with appropriate quality standards for the manufacture, control, storage and distribution of medical gases. It does not cover the manufacture of medical gases in hospitals.The draft is based on existing EU and PIC/S documents, both in terms of structure and content, although not in such depth.
The comment period is open until March 30, 2021. Given the current urgency, the guideline is expected to be finalized already by October 2021.
