electrical system conduits, wiring, receptacles, light fixtures, switches
and equipment which require permanent electrical connections, on plans
of each building level:
(I) light fixtures marked distinctly to indicate connection
to critical or life safety branch circuits or to normal lighting circuits;
and
(II) outlets marked distinctly to indicate connection
to critical, life safety or normal power circuits.
(iii) telephone and communication, fixed computers,
terminals, connections, outlets, and equipment;
(iv) nurses calling system showing all stations, signals,
and annunciators on the plans;
(v) in addition to electrical plans, single line diagrams
prepared for:
(I) complete electrical system consisting of the normal
electrical system and the essential electrical system including the
on-site generator(s), transfer switch(es), emergency system (life
safety branch and critical branch), equipment system, panels, subpanels,
transformers, conduit, wire sizes, main switchboard, power panels,
light panels, and equipment for additions to existing buildings,
proposed new facilities, and remodeled portions of existing facilities.
Feeder and conduit sizes shall be shown with schedule of feeder breakers
or switches;
(II) complete nurses calling system with all stations,
signals, annunciators, etc. with room number noted by each device
and indicating the type of system (nurses regular calling system,
nurses emergency calling system, or staff emergency assistance calling
system); and
(III) a single line diagram of the complete fire alarm
system showing all control panels, signaling and detection devices
and the room number where each device is located; and
(vi) schedules of all panels indicating connection

(2) Final plan review. All deficiencies noted in the
final plan review shall be satisfactorily resolved before approval
of project for construction will be granted.
(3) Construction approval. Construction shall not begin
until written approval by the department is received by the owner
of the facility.
(4) Construction document changes. Any changes to construction
documents which affect or change the function, design, or designated
use of an area shall be submitted to the department for approval prior
to authorization of the modifications.
(d) Special submittals.
(1) Designer certified construction documents. In an
effort to shorten the plan review and approval process, design professionals

documents, the department's completed checklist of licensing requirements
and a certification letter which states that the plans and specifications,
based on the department's checklist comply with the requirements of
this chapter. Project certification forms shall be signed by the licensee
or applicant and the architect(s) and engineer(s) of record.
