And typically my only consideration for it is the 5psf bottom chord loading I put on my trusses and it doesn't weigh anywhere near that.
I would expect the manufacturer's to have installation instructions that dictate hanger spacings etc.
RE: T Bar Ceiling
The only time I saw any design requirement for t-bar ceiling was in a job spec that called for an engineer to design the lateral restraint for a seismic event. The project wasn't located in a seismic area but the specs came from out of town. We didn't end up having to provide the design.
