  – Partial roof slopes: If the flat ceiling is k lm wide, consider as ceiling inclination is of > 20°. If the flat ceiling is >lm wide, consider a flat Ceiling. Rooms with subdivided ceilings:
  – Height of the subdivisions is k 0.2 m: Beams without consideration; smoke alarm may be Installed on the beams as well as on the ceiling.
  – Height of subdivisions is > 0.2 m and area of ceiling panels > 36 m’: Smoke alarm should be installed in each ceiling panel.
  – Height of subdivisions > 0.2 m and area of ceiling panels 5 36 m2: Individual ceiling without consideration.
