I think the official position is that if you're using your axe in direct belays the shaft should be T rated. You should check out what loads the shafts of the axes you're looking at are rated to and make a judgement call. B rated shafts must withstand at least 2.5kN and T rated shafts must withstand at least 3.5kN over a 50cm shaft. Something to consider is whether, realistically, the axe will give way before the snow does!
