Code Checklist
Fire-NOC Document Checklist
The costliest Fire-NOC mistake is applying after construction. Fire-scheme approval should run alongside the building plan so life-safety is designed in, not retrofitted. Exact submissions vary by State fire service.
- NBC 2016 Part 4 · National Building Code of India — Fire and Life Safety
- State Fire Rules · Applicable State Fire Prevention & Life Safety Act / Rules
Apply at the right stage
- Seek fire-scheme approval / provisional NOC at the BLUEPRINT (building-plan) stage — before construction, not after install.
- Obtain the final/occupancy Fire-NOC after installation and inspection by the fire service.
Typical documents (verify with your State fire service)
- Architectural building plans — all floors, sections and elevations with occupancy and height marked.
- Fire-protection scheme drawings — hydrants, wet riser, sprinklers, detection/alarm, extinguishers.
- Area statement, occupant load and means-of-egress / travel-distance plan.
- Fire-water storage and pump-room details; refuge area and staircase/pressurization details.
- Equipment specifications and approved makes; site plan with fire-tender access.
- Ownership / authorisation documents and prescribed application form and fees.
Verify — Fire-NOC requirements, forms, fees and the staged process differ by State and city fire service. Confirm the exact submission list with the local Authority Having Jurisdiction.
