The minimum is actually 100mm (under normal loading conditions) but the standard recommended bearing normally quoted is 150mm.
If you can't find reference to 100mm on any of the sites, then you can ask the lintel manufacturer and they will send you this information ... which will satisfy the BCO if need be
