Which term describes the plan that presents the design criteria and assumptions used in the flame effect design along with complete design information?

• A. Permit
• B. Use permit
• C. Design plan
• D. Group 7 flame effect

Answer: (C)

A design plan is the document that lays out the design criteria, the assumptions used in shaping the flame effect, and the complete design information needed to guide the project. It serves as a blueprint for engineers, operators, and safety reviewers, ensuring everyone understands the expected performance, constraints, and how the system will be built and tested. The plan typically includes target flame characteristics (height, duration, color), fuel and ignition details, system integration (valves, controls, sensors), materials, safety considerations, testing procedures, and any assumptions about environmental conditions. This is different from a permit, which is simply authorization to proceed, or a use permit, which governs occupancy or use of a space. A term like Group 7 flame effect isn’t a standard design-document identifier in this context.
