NAC477.740. Plans subject to review; certificate of compliance required; general requirements.

     1. The State Fire Marshal Division shall review any plans concerning the construction, the site and any system for protection from fire to determine if there is compliance with the provisions of this chapter and any adopted codes relating to safety from fire and the protection of life of any:

     (a) Building owned or leased by the State;

     (b) Facility for public education in a county whose population is 400,000 or more, or when requested by the local building official or administrator of the facility;

     (c) Health and care facility or child care facility licensed by the State; and

     (d) Building, project for construction or system for protection from fire involving public occupancy, excluding single-family detached dwellings, in any county whose population is less than 100,000, if there is no interlocal agreement between the State Fire Marshal Division and the authority having jurisdiction or for which a request for review is received from the owner or the authority having jurisdiction.

     2. All projects requiring review must receive a certificate of compliance with the provisions of this chapter and any adopted codes relating to safety from fire and the protection of life from the State Fire Marshal before the building or structure is occupied. If requested by the local building official, the State Fire Marshal will provide input regarding possible temporary occupancy of the building or structure. A certificate of compliance from the State Fire Marshal may be suspended or revoked by the State Fire Marshal if his or her approval was granted in error or because incorrect information was supplied, or if the State Fire Marshal determines that the project is in violation of any code adopted under this chapter, this regulation or other law.

     3. The plans and specifications of the project must be drawn to scale upon substantial paper or cloth and must be of sufficient clarity to indicate the location, nature and extent of the work proposed and to show in detail that it conforms to this chapter and the codes adopted under this chapter. Plans must be drawn, signed and stamped by those persons who are authorized by specific statute and the State Contractors’ Board to draw plans and specifications.

     4. A plan which provides for fire stopping must provide details on the technical specifications for the materials used and the testing and listing for those materials.
