Fire Retardants to Improve Fire
Hazard Properties
Timber based products which have been
pressure impregnated with fire retardant chemicals may be used,
provided they satisfy the fire hazard properties required by the BCA
and AS/NZS1530.3.
Paints and fire-retardant coatings cannot
be used in order to make the substrate comply with the BCA
requirements.
Early Fire Hazard Properties required by the
BCA may be achieved through pressure impregnation of the timber with
a suitable fire retardant chemical. Surface coating with either a
paint system or other fire resistant coating cannot be utilised to
achieve compliance.
Where other Fire Resistant Properties
(other than Early Fire Hazard) are required, the BCA does not
exclude the use of appropriate paint and fire resistant coating
systems.
