NFPA 1, Fire Code, establishes the fundamental administrative and enforcement framework for fire safety. Chapter 1, "Administration," grants the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) the power and responsibility to enforce the code. This includes the authority to adopt rules and regulations for the submittal, review, and approval of construction documents and plans. Section 1.12 specifically outlines the requirements for permits and approvals, which inherently involves the plan review process. This standard provides the legal and administrative basis for the AHJ to create and manage the procedures governing plan review to ensure compliance with fire safety regulations before construction or modification begins.

B. NFPA 101, Life Safety Code, focuses on minimum requirements for life safety from fire but does not establish the overarching administrative authority for the plan review process itself.

C. NFPA 170, Standard for Fire Safety and Emergency Symbols, provides standardized symbols for use in plans and diagrams; it is a content standard, not an administrative one.

D. NFPA 220, Standard on Types of Building Construction, defines building construction types based on fire resistance, which is a technical criterion used during a plan review, not the rule establishing the review process.
