What determines the tariff number?
- Material composition. Radiators made from cast iron, steel or iron are classified differently from those using other materials. Material is a primary distinction factor in the official nomenclature.
- Heating method: non-electric vs. electric. The official taxonomy distinguishes between non-electrically heated central heating radiators and electrically powered models. This distinction directly influences tariff classification.
- Design type and function. Whether your radiator is a standard heating unit, a hot-air generator, or a combined system with distribution capability affects its classification. Component parts are also classified separately.
