RE: Q in Eurocode
In the case of Spain, the concrete code EHE 98 and CTE (Código Técnico de la Edificación) mandate what to me look very reasonable covers for concrete plates, as pertains to such fire risk.
In any case you may use any reasonable cover; if you go too deep EHE 98 mandates supplementary (weaker) reinforcement closer to the surface to forfeit spall; and in any case an analysis for crack width may say you where you are respect the convenience to go deeper. Further than that one should suspend whatever the thing as a load.
