I didn't think you had to paint plus fireboard? I thought it was one or the other, but maybe regs have changed/I have it wrong.
If you're being told by BC to paint it, just do it how its being asked of you and get the cert. My lesson with dealing with Building Control is to have ALL THE THINGS as they ask for soooo soooo much.

Building control guy told us to paint the RSJ as well as fire board it. I emailed Rawlins about the paint because they won't sell it to you without filling in a form first. They want us to get a special primer + the paint + a top coat paint. My thinking is it's not exposed so we don't need the top coat and am I wrong in thinking we can just use any old steel primer?
