Not a catalogue — a scope indicator. If an item you need is not listed, it is almost certainly still within scope; send the description and we will price it.

The items in this category are part of a pool of 30 listed items here, published together with every other category on the A to Z supply list — each with a short technical description and the unit it is ordered in. The same list is downloadable as a brand-free technical specification in Word and a unit-price schedule in Excel. That pool is a starting point rather than a boundary: items outside it are quoted the same way, from their measurable specification.

Short answer

Which filter class should be specified today?

ISO 16890 classes, not the old F and M ones. EN 779:2012 was withdrawn on 30 June 2018; since then ISO Coarse / ISO ePM10 / ISO ePM2,5 / ISO ePM1 are the only valid classification for general ventilation filters. Crucially, there is no one-to-one conversion — in Eurovent’s indicative data an F7 filter can measure as low as 40% ePM1, meaning it may not qualify for the ISO ePM1 group at all. Change triggers are widely misquoted too: 450 Pa is the end point of a laboratory loading test, not an operational trigger; the operating rule is clean Δp + 100 Pa, or 3 × clean Δp, whichever is lower. On energy, at Eurovent reference conditions annual consumption is approximately 11.33 × average Δp in kWh.

Scope: We supply materials in this category. We do not provide filter changes, duct cleaning, installation and commissioning labour. Within İstanbul filter changes and installation can be arranged on request and shown as a separate line in the quote. Beyond that — across all 81 provinces of Türkiye and on export shipments abroad — our commitment ends with delivery of the materials to the delivery point named on the quote, under the Incoterm agreed for export orders.

Class values are rounded down to the nearest 5%. A filter measuring 87% ePM1 is reported as ISO ePM1 85%.

Frequently Asked Questions

Nearby categories: Carpet, Flooring & Acoustics · Office Plants & Planters. A single request often spans several categories; they are priced in one quote and settled on one invoice. The full list is on product categories, and Turkish procurement terms you will meet on the paperwork are explained in the glossary.

What replaces an F7 filter?

There is no direct equivalent. In Eurovent’s indicative data an F7 filter’s ePM1 efficiency ranges from 40% to 65%, so some F7 filters do not reach the ISO ePM1 group at all. Specify the class and efficiency you actually need — for example ISO ePM1 60% — and request the ISO 16890 test report.

At what pressure drop should filters be changed?

Under EN 13053 and Eurovent 6/18 the operating rule is clean pressure drop + 100 Pa, or 3 × clean pressure drop, whichever is lower (+50 Pa for coarse filters). The 450 Pa figure often quoted is the end point of the EN 779:2012 laboratory loading test and running to it multiplies fan energy.

How is a replacement filter identified?

From the frame dimensions (width × height × depth in millimetres), the efficiency class and the frame type. Photograph the label on the existing filter and measure the frame if the label is unreadable — that is enough in almost every case. Non-standard sizes are common in older units and are made to order, which adds lead time, so measure before the filter is due rather than after.

How often should filters be changed?

By differential pressure where it is measured, and by a calendar interval where it is not. A common planning interval is 3–6 months for pre-filters and 6–12 months for bag and compact filters, shortened sharply in dusty or high-pollen environments. A clogged filter raises fan energy consumption continuously, so the change interval is an energy decision as much as an air quality one.

Do you service air conditioning units?

We supply the units, filters, refrigerant and consumables. Installation, commissioning and periodic maintenance are outside our scope; within İstanbul, installation can be arranged on request as a separate line in the quote.

Do you ship outside Türkiye?

Yes. We deliver across all 81 provinces of Türkiye and arrange export shipments abroad. On export orders the delivery term is agreed at quotation stage under Incoterms 2020 — EXW, FCA, CPT or DAP — and the quote states which party arranges and pays for carriage, and where our responsibility ends. Country of origin, HS code and any conformity documents needed for export are settled at the same stage.

What does an export quote include, and what does it not?

It includes the goods, export packing where required, and carriage up to the point defined by the agreed Incoterm. It does not include destination-country duties, taxes or customs charges — those sit with the buyer. Cargo insurance is not automatic under EXW, FCA, CPT or DAP; if you want it arranged, say so in the request and it appears as a separate line. Turkish VAT is zero-rated on exports once export clearance is completed.

Is there a minimum order for an export shipment?

There is no fixed minimum, but freight economics set a practical floor: on a low-value single-line order, carriage can exceed the value of the goods. Consolidating several categories into one shipment is usually what makes an export order worth placing — which is the same reason our buyers consolidate domestically. Tell us the delivery country and we will say honestly whether the freight makes sense before you spend time on a specification.

These three questions are the same on every category and industry page. The full answer — Incoterms, the document set and ISPM 15 packing — is in our export shipping guide.
