You do not have to gave an eor...that's the presumption that many have but 
other than a bldg code analysis there are hundreds if not thousands of 
jurisdictions that do not require fire and life safety beyond identifying it to 
be sprkd.   most major metros have some sort of req for sealing design criteria 
only but to say that you have to have an eor is the exception...

Isn’t it suppose to be if you stamp it, you own it.  Granted they think saying 
meet all codes and standards exempts them from oversights (like calling the 
entire school Light Hazard despite it having a working aircraft hangar as part 
of the facility) and it’s often easier to fix than fight but until they 
consistently get kicked in the ….. lets go with wallet, it isn’t going to 
change.  Just like in the parking lot of most stores, where it says not 
responsible for damage caused by carts.  If accepted, it's true.
