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.

"SENCO has the widest variety of collated screws available and a track record of quality and performance," commented Mike Desmond, Product Manager, Screw Systems of SENCO. "Given the high level of scrutiny and rigorous testing, it is a testament to SENCO’s high standards."

SENCO fasteners are available through professional distributors including STAFDA, dealer co-ops, lumberyards and online retailers. Visit www.senco.com for locations.
