(OP)
Are smoke detectors required in paths of egress if the building is fully sprinklered? Where can I find the code and/or code section that talks about this?

RE: Smoke detector in corridors?
Find out what Building Code you are under and from that a determination can be made.
Also, is your building a high rise or is it classified as either a health care or institutional occupancy? This will also influence the requirements.

In most states (in the USA) area smoke detectors are not required if the buliding is fully sprinklered. Duct smoke detectors are still required.
