Wind classification certificate, report, rating or assessment
Builders, certifiers, designers and suppliers do not always use the same wording. A request for a wind classification certificate, wind rating certificate, wind classification report or wind assessment may be pointing to the same practical need: the site wind classification for a suitable residential or Class 10a project.
Direct answer
If you have been asked for an AS4055 wind classification certificate or wind rating certificate for a suitable NCC Class 1 or Class 10a project in NSW, QLD, SA or WA, QuickWind is likely the right page to start from.
Common wording
The words certificate, report, rating and assessment can be used loosely in project emails. The important question is what document the other party actually needs and whether AS4055 is the suitable pathway for the project.
What QuickWind provides
QuickWind provides an AS4055 Site Wind Classification Certificate for the nominated site. It is a fixed-fee online order pathway for suitable Class 1 and Class 10a projects in NSW, QLD, SA and WA.
When the wording may mean something else
Some requests are not just asking for a site wind classification. If the other party needs structural design, tie-down design, product certification, an AS/NZS 1170.2 wind loading assessment or broader engineering review, use the fee proposal pathway instead.
Best next step
If the request mentions AS4055, a site wind class, wind rating or wind classification certificate, order QuickWind. If the request is broader or unclear, send the project details for review.
