Compliance Statement
Scope of Use
Alpha ALU sectional overhead doors are designed for industrial and commercial applications, offering durability, energy efficiency, and customizability. They are suitable for environments requiring natural light, visibility, and insulation, such as warehouses, workshops, and parking facilities. The ALU 40 doors prioritize visibility and ventilation, while the ALU 60 doors provide enhanced thermal performance for temperature-controlled spaces. These doors are compatible with a variety of building substrates and structural configurations. They can be manually or automatically operated and are suitable for installation in locations exposed to wind and weather conditions, with wind resistance up to class 3-4 (EN 12424). Available customization options include glazing, perforated panels, and RAL color coatings, making them ideal for diverse architectural and operational requirements.
New Zealand Building Code (NZBC)
The product will, if employed in accordance with the supplier's installation and maintenance requirements, assist with meeting the following provisions of the building code:
- Clause B1 Structure: Performance B1.3.1, B1.3.2, B1.3.3(a), B1.3.3(b), B1.3.3(h)
- B1.3.1 and B1.3.2: The doors conform to structural stability requirements through testing to EN 13241 (Safety in Use) and EN 12424 (Wind Load Resistance). Performance under expected loads demonstrates conformance to these clauses.
- B1.3.3(a), (b), (h): Wind resistance is verified through EN 12424 (class 3-4), and the design accounts for self-weight and imposed loads. Supporting documentation includes test data and specifications.
Refer to PENSA Sectional Door Specification Documentation - Clause B2 Durability: Performance B2.3.1(b)
- B2.3.1(b): The use of corrosion-resistant materials, such as anodized aluminum and galvanized steel, ensures 15-year durability under normal conditions. Conformance is supported by EN 13241 and ISO 9223 for corrosion classification.
Refer to PENSA Sectional Door Specification Documentation - Clause C3 Fire affecting areas beyond the fire source: Performance C3.7(a)
- C3.7(a): Materials such as aluminium and steel conform to safety requirements by being non-combustible, in accordance with EN 13241 and ISO 1182. Fire-resistance testing is available to demonstrate further alignment.
Refer to PENSA Sectional Door Specification Documentation - Clause D1 Access routes: Performance D1.3.1(b), D1.3.3(a), D1.3.3(n)
- D1.3.1(b) and D1.3.3(a), (n): The doors conform to access route requirements, providing adequate activity space and safety for automatic operation. Features such as obstacle detection and manual override conform to EN 13241 standards.
Refer to PENSA Sectional Door Specification Documentation - Clause E2 External moisture: Performance E2.3.2, E2.3.3
- E2.3.2 and E2.3.3: Wind- and waterproof seals demonstrate conformance to moisture management standards. Testing to EN 12425 and EN 12426 confirms the prevention of water ingress.
Refer to PENSA Sectional Door Specification Documentation - Clause G4 Ventilation: Performance G4.3.2
- G4.3.2: Perforated and air-permeable panel options align with ventilation requirements, offering effective airflow solutions. EN 13241 testing supports conformance to mechanical air-handling standards.
Refer to PENSA Sectional Door Specification Documentation - Clause H1 Energy efficiency : Performance H1.3.1(a), H1.3.1(b), H1.3.6(a)
- H1.3.1(a), (b), H1.3.6(a): Thermally insulated profiles (e.g., U-value of 2.38 W/m²K for ALU 60) demonstrate conformance to energy efficiency objectives. Testing to ISO 10077-1 validates the product’s performance in thermal resistance and limiting airflow.

Evidence
The product meets the requirements set out in the following documents, or relevant parts of cited standards within the documents:
The Alpha ALU sectional overhead doors comply with NZBC requirements through adherence to EN 13241, ensuring safety, structural integrity, and durability for B1 (Structure), B2 (Durability), and D1 (Access). Wind load resistance (EN 12424) aligns with B1.3.3(h), while thermal insulation (ISO 10077-1) supports H1.3.1(a) and H1.3.1(b) for thermal resistance and limiting airflow. Wind- and waterproof seals meet E2 for external moisture. Durable materials like anodized aluminum and galvanized steel ensure compliance with B2. Integrated safety features such as anti-lift protection, spring brake systems, and obstacle detection meet D1.3.3(n) for automatic doors. Thermal performance of the ALU 60’s insulated panels and thermally decoupled profiles enhances energy efficiency, meeting H1. Installation per manufacturers’ instructions aligns with NZBC Acceptable Solutions for doors. This methodology ensures compliance in structure, durability, safety, moisture resistance, and energy efficiency.
