B&D high wind & cyclone compliance guide
If you're installing garage doors in wind-rated parts of Australia, the paperwork matters as much as the product. This guide covers B&D's high-wind and cyclone compliance documentation — test summary sheets, certification drawings, and Form 15 design certificates — as required under the National Construction Code (NCC) and Queensland Development Code (QDC).
All documents referenced here are sourced from the official B&D Trade Resources page at www.bnd.com.au/trade-resources/high-wind-documentation/.
Understanding Australian wind regions
Wind requirements vary considerably across Australia. The National Construction Code classifies wind regions as follows:
| Region | Description | Typical locations |
|---|---|---|
| A/B | Non-cyclonic | Southern and eastern Australia |
| C | Cyclonic | Parts of QLD, WA, NT coastlines |
| D | Severe cyclonic | WA Pilbara and Kimberley coast |
Doors installed in Regions C and D — and some high-wind areas in Region B — need certified wind-rated doors backed by the correct supporting documentation. Getting this right from the start protects both the installation and the customer.
Test summary sheets
Test summary sheets give certifiers and engineers the evidence they need to confirm a door has been tested to meet specific wind pressures. If you're working in a wind-rated zone, these documents are part of the building approval process.
Sectional doors — StormShield (TS917)
Rolling doors — Roll-A-Shutter (TS894)
Rolling doors — Series 2 & 3 (TS1001)
Double-width rolling doors
- Double-Width Roller Doors — Test Summary Sheet A — Series 2 (PDF)
- Double-Width Roller Doors — Test Summary Sheet B — Series 3 (PDF)
Roll-A-Door Series 1 — Region C (WA)
Certification drawings
Certification drawings provide the structural details and connection requirements your certifier needs to approve a wind-rated door installation. Use the correct drawing for your door type and region — submitting the wrong one will slow down approval.
StormShield sectional door
Rolling doors — Series 2 & 3 (all regions)
Roll-A-Shutter (all regions)
Rolling doors — Series 1 — Region C
Rolling doors — Series 1 — Regions A & B
Form 15 compliance certificates
In Queensland, a Form 15 (Design Certificate) must be lodged when installing a wind-rated door in a cyclone-affected local government area. B&D provides pre-completed Form 15 documents for each certified door type, so you're not starting from scratch on every job.
StormShield sectional door — Form 15
Rolling doors Series 2 & 3 — Form 15
Roll-A-Shutter — Form 15
Rolling door Series 1 — Form 15
- Form 15 — Region C Compliance Design Certificate (2212-M) (PDF)
- Form 15 — Regions A & B Compliance Design Certificate (2511-D) (PDF)
Section 40 documents
Section 40 certificates confirm the structural adequacy of specific B&D door systems for Queensland building applications. They're part of the compliance documentation package for building approvals.

- Roll-A-Shutter Section 40 Certificate (PDF)

Practical notes for installers
Five things worth keeping in mind on every wind-rated job:
- Identify the wind region before selecting a door. Use the Australian Standard wind region maps or check with your local council if you're unsure about a specific site.
- Match the door to the wind class. Not all wind-rated doors are certified to all wind classes. Check the relevant test summary sheet before committing to a product.
- Lodge the Form 15 with the building certifier before or at the time of installation if you're working in a QLD cyclone-affected area. This can't be done after the fact.
- Follow the certification drawing for all noggin and framing details. Deviating from the certified fixing arrangement can void the certification.
- Keep copies of everything — test sheets, certification drawings, Form 15s — with the job file. It makes future inspections straightforward.
