Each registered commercial interior designer shall have a seal, the image of which must contain the name of the registered commercial interior designer, the person's registration number and the words, "Registered Commercial Interior Designer, State of Oklahoma". All technical submissions prepared by such registered commercial interior designer, or under the responsible control of the registered commercial interior designer, shall be sealed, signed and dated, which shall mean that the registered commercial interior designer was in responsible control over the content of such technical submissions during their preparation and has applied the required professional standard of care, unless prepared under the responsible control of an architect licensed in this state and signed and sealed by that licensed architect. No registered commercial interior designer may sign or seal interior technical submissions unless they were prepared by or under the responsible control of the registered commercial interior designer, except that:
1. The person may sign or seal those portions of the technical submissions that were prepared by or under the responsible control of persons who are registered under the State Architectural and Registered Commercial Interior Designers Act if the interior designer has reviewed and adapted in whole or in part such portions and has either coordinated their preparation or integrated them into the work. The seal may be a rubber stamp or may be generated electronically, pursuant to rules adopted by the Board; and
2. Registered commercial interior designers may submit technical submissions, excluding fire and life safety systems, for nonstructural interior construction for the Code Use Groups as defined and listed in Section 46.21b of Title 59 of the Oklahoma Statutes.
