Not just state law but local code. We require all submittals to be signed dated and stamped by the design professional responsible for the production of the drawings, specs, calculations etc.. that way we also know who to contact with questions and who is taking responsibility for what is produced.

In most states with regard to the separation of responsibilities between engineering and Sprinkler layout, the contractor shop drawings are not considered "engineering" and are not required to be sealed by a professional engineer. Also in most states an Architect is included in those permitted to stamp fire protection drawings but you need to review the specific wording in the state law. Craig L.
