SENCO, an international manufacturer of professional-grade fasteners and power fastener products, has received an evaluation report (ESR #3558) from ICC Evaluation Service (ICC-ES) certifying that these fasteners meet the 2009 and 2012 International Building Code (IBC) and International Residential Code (IRC) codes. Evaluation reports are used extensively by architects, engineers, contractors, specifiers, and others in the building industry that have an interest in making sure products and systems meet building-code requirements.

The scope of the review included evaluation of SENCO Brands’ self-piercing and self-drilling tapping screws. SENCO’s high level of quality and proven performance enabled its tapping screws to earn this certification. The evaluation information can now be used by specifiers who wish to use SENCO fasteners in engineering and architectural drawings for commercial and large residential structures. The fasteners which gained approval are commonly used for connections involving cold formed steel framing. Common applications include joining drywall/gypsum sheathing to steel, steel to steel framing, steel sheathing to steel framing, and certain wood to steel framing. (source: Senco)
