Process to Develop Ambulance Remount Standard Underway
The Commission on Accreditation of Ambulance Services (CAAS) initially published its Ground Vehicle Standard (GVS) for new ambulances GVS V1.0 in July 2016. The GVS standard has already been officially accepted by two states, and regulatory approval is pending in many others. As part of the development plan for the GVS V2.0 revision due in July 2019, CAAS GVS has started a process to create a standard for ambulance remounts that will be an integral part of the second version of GVS.
