Compliance
PED, RoHS, REACH

Overview

HVAC and refrigeration products combine sheet-metal casings, copper and aluminium tube work, brazed and welded assemblies, fans and machined valve parts. Pressure-bearing parts in refrigeration circuits require leak-tight joints and, depending on size, PED compliance.

Türkiye is one of Europe’s largest producers of boilers, radiators, air-handling units and refrigeration equipment, with a supplier base concentrated around Istanbul, Manisa and Kocaeli.

On Metraxio you describe the part, attach drawings and state material, finish, testing and quantity. The platform structures the requirement and shows which facilities are a technical fit.

HVAC parts are typically produced in steady series with a focus on cost, corrosion resistance and leak-tightness. Stating the refrigerant or media, pressure testing requirements and annual volumes helps separate high-volume sheet-metal and brazing suppliers from general job shops.

Typical parts & components

  • Sheet-metal casings, panels and frames
  • Copper and aluminium tube assemblies
  • Brazed manifolds and headers
  • Brass and bronze valve bodies and fittings
  • Fan housings and impellers
  • Heat exchanger fins and plates
  • Stamped brackets and mounting parts

The processes, materials and requirements below are an editorial reference of what is typical for hvac & refrigeration programs — not a statement about facilities in the Metraxio network.

Typical materials & grades

Certifications & compliance

What buyers in this industry commonly ask suppliers for. Exact requirements depend on the program, customer and part.

Supplier certifications

  • ISO 9001 Typically required

    Baseline quality system.

  • ISO 14001 Common

    Often requested by HVAC brands.

  • ISO 50001 Sometimes requested

    Energy management.

Standards & regulations

  • Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) Common

    EU Pressure Equipment Directive.

  • RoHS Common

    Restriction of hazardous substances.

  • REACH Common

    Substance compliance in the EU.

  • CE Marking Common

    CE marking for complete products.

Quality & documentation

  • Leak and pressure testing of refrigerant and water circuits.
  • PED compliance for pressure equipment above the thresholds.
  • Brazing and welding to qualified procedures.
  • Material certificates for pressure-bearing parts.
  • RoHS and REACH declarations for products on the EU market.

Typical tolerances & surfaces

  • Sheet-metal parts: typically ±0.1–0.3 mm.
  • Tube bending: bend radius and angle tolerances per drawing.
  • Machined valve parts: typically ±0.02–0.05 mm on sealing features.
  • Leak rates specified per refrigerant and test method.

Sourcing from Türkiye

Türkiye combines a deep contract-manufacturing base with short routes into Europe. Industrial goods move between Türkiye and the EU under the customs union, so buyers typically avoid EU import duties on qualifying parts.

  • Many European destinations can be reached by road within several days; actual transit depends on origin, destination, customs handling and cargo.
  • Common delivery terms are EXW, FCA and DAP; Metraxio keeps the agreed Incoterm attached to the quotation and order.
  • Heating and cooling demand is seasonal; plan series deliveries ahead of the season.

How Metraxio qualifies suppliers

Every request is checked against each facility's structured profile before any supplier is invited.

  • Hard criteria: the required process (e.g. sheet-metal fabrication or brazing), the specified material, and requirements such as PED.
  • Missing data is not a rejection. If a facility profile does not yet state something, the result is "Needs More Information" rather than "Not Qualified".
  • No match yet? You can continue with Managed Sourcing and the Metraxio team runs supplier discovery for you.
  • Facility identities stay anonymous during the technical assessment.

Example project

How a typical request moves through Metraxio

5,000 brass valve bodies — hot-forged and machined — DAP.

  • The buyer uploads drawings for refrigeration valve bodies.
  • Metraxio structures the requirement: forging, CNC machining, brass, leak testing and DAP delivery.
  • The fit assessment shows which facilities are qualified, which need more information and which do not match.
  • The buyer invites qualified facilities to a Supplier RFQ, or hands the job to Managed Sourcing.

Frequently asked questions

Do refrigeration parts need PED compliance?

Pressure equipment above certain pressure and volume limits must comply with PED when placed on the EU market.

Can suppliers braze copper assemblies?

Yes. Brazing of copper and aluminium tube assemblies is common; list it with your requirement.

Which finishes are common for casings?

Pre-painted steel, galvanised steel and powder coating.

Can I source forged brass valve bodies?

Yes. Hot forging and machining of brass is a strong capability in Türkiye.

Are supplier names visible during the assessment?

No. Facilities are shown anonymously during the technical assessment. Identities are shared as the engagement progresses.
