Change in which fire protection systems need plan review in
Wisconsin
A code change increased the fire protection
systems
which need plan review in Wisconsin.
In the past, fire protection systems which required plan
review were identified as being in specific building types or
occupancies which were named in Table 361.30-3 of the Wisconsin
Commercial Building Code.
As of January 1, 2012, Wisconsin has changed to review of most fire
suppression and fire alarm system projects. Table 361.30-3 has
been repealed.
The trigger date for fire protection system plan review was based on
the
overall building plan submittal. For example, if a Group B
occupancy building was submitted for review prior to December 31, 2011,
then the fire suppression and fire alarm components were not required
to
be submitted. If the same building was submitted on January 1,
2012, the fire suppression and fire alarm components were be required
to be submitted for review.
