NAC623.850. Registered interior designers: Provisions governing technical elements of preparation of designs.

     1. Because the national standards for education and testing of registered interior designers may not address the technical elements of preparation of designs for alteration or construction of an interior area designed for human habitation or occupancy, the provisions of subsections 2, 3 and 4 govern such designs.

     2. Partitions included in a design must:

     (a) Except if required by subsection 3, exclude a life-safety system; and

     (b) Comply with the practice of the industry and all applicable codes.

     3. All door assemblies included in a design must:

     (a) Comply with all applicable building codes; and

     (b) Be limited to doors and door frames for which the required fire-protection rating does not exceed 20 minutes.

     4. All ceilings included in a design must be pre-engineered ceiling systems and the supporting documentation from the manufacturer of the ceiling must be attached to the design.
