A multiplicity of suspension members for the ceiling tiles are provided for suspending the tiles from a multiplicity of runners. Each suspension member comprises a longitudinal flange portion, the opposite sides of the flange portion each being connected to a side flange, the side flanges on opposite sides pointing in opposite directions with respect to the longitudinal flange. To allow suspending the suspension member from a runner, the side of the first flange pointing away from the longitudinal flange terminates in suspension means, preferably comprising a hooked profile. The second side flange points in a downward direction and is provided with a third flange which also extends at an angle with respect to the second flange. The third flange is adapted to engage a corresponding slit or groove provided in at least one of the sides of the ceiling tile or panel, or to engage the bottom surface of the ceiling tile.
