4. Places where smoke detectors should be installed A B
• Bedrooms. Install a smoke detector in each individual bedroom (not just in the hall
leading to the rooms).
• Hallways and staircases. A stairway can act as a chimney if fire breaks out, causing flames and smoke to
spread to other floors. Ensure that there is at least one smoke detector on each floor of the building.
• Living and working areas.
• In rooms with sloping ceilings a distance of 50 to 100 cm to the apex must be observed D .
• In rooms with partial pitched roof, if the horizontal ceiling is smaller or equal to 1m wide, the smoke
alarm is to be fitted as in the illustration D . If the horizontal ceiling is larger than 1 m wide, the smoke alarm
is to be fitted in the middle of the horizontal ceiling (see illustration E ).
• Storage areas
• In rooms containing electrical equipment.
5. Where to install smoke detectors
• Fit the smoke detector to the ceiling, in the centre of the room. Smoke rises to the room ceiling and
spreads out horizontally. Install the smoke detector at least 19 inches (50 cm) from the nearest wall and
2 feet (61 cm) from the corner of the room (see C ).
• Do not fit smoke detectors to ceiling beams if they are more than 8 inches (20 cm) thick. In such cases, a
smoke alarm must be installed on each ceiling panel.
• The maximum installation height of the fitted smoke alarm must not exceed 6 m. For installation heights
over 6 m the smoke alarms are to be fitted on several levels.
• Make sure that you keep a minimum distance of 50 cm from lamps, fluorescent lamps and other obstacles.
• Maximum monitoring range per smoke alarm: 60 m²
• For extensive corridors the distance between two alarms must be a maximum of 15 m. Smoke alarms
may be fitted with a maximum distance of 7.5 m to the end of corridors.
• In rooms and corridors with widths smaller than 1 m the smoke alarm is to be fitted in the middle on the
ceiling.
• Local specifications must be observed..
6. Places where smoke detectors should NOT be installed
Bathrooms and places with high levels of air humidity.
• Garages.
• Kitchens. If you do install a smoke detector in a kitchen, ensure that it is at least 13 feet (4 metres) from
the stove or hob.
• Near heaters, heating/cooling shafts and ventilation shafts.
• Near heating stoves and open fireplaces.
• In places with very high levels of dust.
• In places where temperatures drop to below -10°C or rise to over +40°C.
