We note that your question relates to AS 1684.2-2010, but there is now a 2021 edition of AS 1684. However, the requirements for angle bracing in AS 1684.2-2021 remain the same.
You will find aerosols and brush-on products on the net described as H3 treatments, but they are 'supplementary products' intended for treating cut ends and notches in timber that has been through a preservative treatment plant. They are not marketed as an alternative to H3 pressure treatment. H3 treatment penetrates into the timber and provides protection against termites and wood rot. H2 treatment protects timber only against termite attack.
Metal or timber fascias can be used in BAL-FZ areas, over fire-resistant linings. This is shown in our Regulatory Information Report RIR 23626A which can be downloaded from our website free of charge via this link https://www.woodsolutions.com.au/resources/standards-codes/fire-test-reports. Refer section 9 of the report for details of the fire resistant fascia linings, and section 10 for installation of the fascia itself.
The metal sheet roof system for BAL-FZ (Flame Zone), assessed by Warringtonfire, was based on 15mm pine plywood or 15mm OSB roof lining.
