Equipment pre- approval process developed 10 with NYP Facilities Operations to standardize to improve maintenance and Equipment Selection Process reduce the number of spare parts Or Equal was eliminated from the recommended manufacturers when 3 or more manufacturers were listed. A handful of Proprietary equipment manufacturers such as: ASCO Automatic Transfer Switches were identified as NYPH Standards. Architects and Engineering Firms are to use selected NYP pre- approved Equipment from the Equipment Cut e-book that resides on the portal.
