## 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/](https://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.

## 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.

## 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

## 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.

## Practical notes for installers

Five things worth keeping in mind on every wind-rated job:

1. **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.
2. **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.
3. **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.
4. **Follow the certification drawing** for all noggin and framing details. Deviating from the certified fixing arrangement can void the certification.
5. **Keep copies of everything** — test sheets, certification drawings, Form 15s — with the job file. It makes future inspections straightforward.
