Poison centre notification in Cyprus
Verified against ECHA’s member state overview ·
Cyprus closed its national notification procedure. Since 1 January 2021 the ECHA Submission portal is the only accepted route, and notifications made under the old national procedure lost their validity on 31 December 2024. Anything still on the Cypriot market on old paperwork had to be notified again through the portal.
The appointed body is the Department of Labour Inspection rather than a poison centre, and the notification language is Greek. There's no national fee and no confirmation-of-receipt wait once the dossier passes ECHA's validation.
What to watch for in Cyprus
- Old national notifications expired on 31 December 2024; resubmission through the ECHA portal was mandatory.
- Greek is required; English alone does not satisfy the Cypriot requirement.
- Appointed body is the Department of Labour Inspection, not a hospital poison centre.
The submission itself is the same in every member state that accepts the ECHA route: a PCN dossier in ECHA’s current format, with the mixture’s UFI, its full composition and its product category. See how to submit a PCN for the process end to end, or compare the 30 countries in the country overview table.
