Many countries around the world have building regulations that require building plans to be approved by the local authority - before construction begins!
These laws require that all applications for planning permission should be done in accordance with the policies and procedure published by the country's or state's government. For example, in South Africa there are National Building Regulations that must be satisfied in respect of the design and construction of most buildings.
In terms of these laws, approval of fire safety building plans by the Local Authority's Fire Department are typically required. These Fire Safety Officers must know and understand the plan approval requirements, and applicants for plan approval must also know what is expected of them, by the local Fire Department.
