Reading an AS 2047 Certificate: What SMK40453 Covers and What the Schedule Decides

When a buyer asks for “certified aluminium windows”, the useful follow-up is: certified for which products, in which sizes, and to which design wind pressure? A StandardsMark certificate under AS 2047 answers those questions through its Schedule. The Schedule is the part of the document that lists the specific models, the maximum sizes and the pressures each model is covered for.

1. What the certificate says

The current document for RS Doors & Windows carries the following details:

These are the values printed on the document. They are stated here as shown, so that a quotation, a specification and the certificate can be compared against the same reference.

2. The Schedule is the operative part

The Schedule identifies the specific window and door models that are certified, the maximum sizes for those models, and the design wind pressures they are covered for. A series name on its own does not establish that every opening type, size or configuration in that series is covered.

That distinction matters on real projects. A project may use one series name across many openings, but the openings can differ in width, height, configuration, glazing make-up and exposure. The question is not whether the series is certified; it is whether the specific opening, in its specific size and configuration, is inside the listed limits.

3. What the certificate does not establish

• Installation compliance. The certificate covers the product. Installation is a separate scope, set out in the project quotation and terms.
• WERS ratings. Window Energy Rating Scheme results are separate evidence. This document does not establish them.
• Glass-specific evidence. Glass supplied for our systems is manufactured to AS/NZS 2208 for safety glazing and AS 4666 for insulating glass units by our glass supplier. That evidence sits alongside, not inside, the AS 2047 certificate.
• Every opening in a series. Coverage is defined by the listed model and its applicable limits, not by the series name.

4. How to check a proposed product

The practical check runs in one direction: from the proposed opening to the document, not from the document to the opening.

1. Take the opening schedule for the project, with the proposed system and operation for each opening.
2. Match each proposed product to the model listed in the Schedule.
3. Confirm the size is inside the listed maximum, and the design wind pressure covers the site exposure.
4. Confirm the glazing make-up and any thermal, bushfire, acoustic or exposure requirement is supported by documentation for that configuration.
5. Where installation is in scope, keep the installation responsibilities separate in the quotation.

Where a configuration sits outside the listed limits, or where the requirement is not covered by the document, that should be resolved in writing before the order is confirmed rather than assumed to be covered.

5. Version discipline

An earlier SMK40453 document, issued on 5 June 2023, showed an expiry date of 19 July 2025. The 2025 document and its Schedule supersede previously issued schedules. When a specification or a contract cites this certificate, it should cite the 2025 document, and the current PDF on our certification page is the reference we work from.

Two references are useful when checking the underlying requirements: the AS 2047 standard itself, and the Australian Glass and Glazing Association’s guidance on windows and glazing.
