When is a room not a bedroom (for assessing smoke alarm layout)?

The NCC has strict guidelines for what constitutes a habitable room in a house in Australia. To qualify as a bedroom, it should have a minimum ceiling height of 2.4 m and floor space of 6.5 m2. The window for the bedroom needs to be 10% of the total area of the room.
