Open Faced Cladding - Batten SPEC?

Help please!

I have spec'd open face cladding - what USE CLASS specification should the batten and cross battens be?

 

I am concerned I require UC3 treated wood (pressure treated to push preservative into the wood), and not UC2 which is easily available (green treated timber that is dipped, not pressure treated. i.e. roofing battens).

 

Because open cladding means the battens will be subject to constant moisture - I think UC3 should be spec'd?

 

Correct?

Then we can get into actually finding this UC3 wood in sized like 25x50mm, 50x50mm or 50x100mm, I cant find it anywhere.
