Have searched but not found any technical info about, for example, Byggmax screws.
Take their wood screw C4 6 mm x120, what shear and tensile strength could it have?
If you compare with traditional nails that are significantly softer and more pliable than these hardened construction screws, in my view, you can't just take the same diameter and number straight off.
Anyone with more knowledge about this?

Here may be a starting point for your thoughts:

Here they have tested wall panels and not the screw itself, but indirectly they do it anyway.

In the cases where I feel I need to use such information, I have chosen the product accordingly. All manufacturers should have developed it, but perhaps not all are as professional and have it readily accessible. In other words, I would have chosen another product, even if it costs a bit more.
It is not possible to generally say what a screw can withstand in shear or tension as several factors come into play, such as the type of joint, the materials to be joined, the environment in which the joint is located, etc.
