Steps
Check the specific state's building/fire code adoption for a NICET-level requirement tied to fire alarm system design submittal — this is set state-by-state, and sometimes locally, not by a single national rule.
For jurisdictions with a codified requirement, confirm the exact NICET level required, since some accept Level II, others require Level III, and some accept a PE stamp as an alternative.
Where a jurisdiction accepts either NICET certification or a Professional Engineer stamp, confirm which option applies to your project scope before assigning a designer.
Check whether the requirement applies statewide or only within specific AHJs/cities within the state, since local building departments sometimes impose stricter requirements than the state minimum.
Re-verify directly with the specific state's licensing board or building code council before bidding a design job, since the list of states and required levels changes as codes are adopted or amended.
Known gotchas
Do not treat 'NICET required' as a single national rule — requirements and levels vary by state and sometimes by city, so a designer certified for one state's requirement may not qualify in another.
Some AHJs accept an alternative PE stamp in lieu of NICET — confirm which pathway a specific project's AHJ will accept before assuming NICET is mandatory.
