ICC 500 - Storm Shelter Peer Review 3

[JAE]

Per ICC 500, storm shelters must have a peer review performed by a separate engineer for shelters serving a larger occupancy (>300).

The ICC 500 only states "Peer Review" but provides no guidance on the nature of that review.
Over the years I've had my own designs reviewed, and I've served as a peer reviewer as well...with many different "levels" of review provided.

Any thoughts on what level, or scope of services, would be appropriate for a peer review of a large storm shelter?
Example - Large middle school serving an occupancy of about 1,000.

If there are no official requirements than there are no official requirements.....at minimum, you'd need someone licensed in that state.

But a good review in my book (if I had the budget) would be someone who had a lot of experience (for example) designing in front of Florida's CCCL line. They've seen the worst and know what to expect.

Other parts of the "Highlights" document provide some insight into when a peer review is needed and what the peer review should include.
