3.2 Additional alarms should be installed in bedrooms in
anticipation of fires originating here, caused by faulty wiring,
lights, appliances, smokers or other hazards.
3.3 For best protection, smoke alarms should be installed in
every room in your home, apart from those listed in the
Section 4 LOCATIONS TO AVOID . Heat alarms should be
used in kitchens, boiler rooms, laundry rooms, garages and
such like, where smoke alarms would be unsuitable.
3.4 Install smoke alarms in circulation areas at a distance no
greater than 7.5m from the farthest wall, no greater than
7.5m from a door to any room in which a fire might start and
no greater than 7.5m from the next smoke alarm.
3.5 As it is impossible to predict the source of a fire, the best
location for an alarm is usually the center of a room or
hallway. If it is necessary to place a smoke alarm on a wall,
always locate the detection element of the alarm 150mm to
300mm (6 to 12 inches) below the ceiling and the bottom of
the alarm above the level of doors and other openings.
