A SMILE5 installed in any corridor, hallway, lobby or the like leading to a fire exit shall

Barrier to habitable rooms

To protect against the spread of fire to habitable rooms, where the SMILE5 is mounted
on, placed against a surface of a wall or structure that has a habitable room on the
other side, the wall or structure shall be a suitably non-combustible barrier. If the
mounting surface itself is not made of a suitably non-combustible material, a non-
combustible barrier may be placed between the SMILE5 and the surface of a wall or
structure.
Where the SMILE5 is located on or within 300mm of the wall or structure separating it
from the habitable room, the barrier shall extend —
(i) 600 mm beyond the vertical sides of the SMILE5;
(ii) 1200 mm above the SMILE5; and
(iii) to the extent of the bottom of the SMILE5.
Please refer to Figure 7.
