3m or 7m?

[flyingsparks]

i was always under the impression it was 7m from bedroom doors? 3m seems very close?!

Aico agree - only says for single storey dwelling:

There is a slight discrepancy with the 900mm. requirement.

No. 7.5m (7 or 7.5? - would need to check) is with a system to BS 5839-1 that each detector has a sphere of influence of 7.5m. So if 7m in a circle around a detector doesn't cover the entire room then an additional detector would be required.

I thought 7m from habitable rooms and 3m from bedrooms.

That was a screen grab from the aico app. I was wondering because an etension I have just wired today has a bedroom (downstairs) with one door which leads to the lounge, and then an ensuite, which also has a door to a hallway. I have wired for a smoke outside both doors (ie. in the lounge and hallway)

Definitely 7m.

Even if it means putting up with a chauffeur who CBA to dress properly.

A smoke alarm needs to be able to wake you up through a closed door. Would it really be loud enough 7m away?
