You mentioned a non-load bearing wall but you're also talking about installing an RSJ. So... is this wall your removing load bearing or non-load bearing? You may require building regulation approval and if so, they may ask for details/calculations of the proposed beams, which would also provide details on the bearings either end.

I've put the OP through google translate, but still can't make head or tail of it
