Poison centre notification in Cyprus

Verified against ECHA’s member state overview ·

Cyprus closed its national notification procedure decisively: 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 re-notified through the portal.

The appointed body is not a poison centre but the Department of Labour Inspection, and the notification language is Greek. There is no national fee, and no confirmation-of-receipt wait applies once the dossier passes ECHA's automated validation.

What to watch for in Cyprus

  • Old national notifications expired 31 December 2024 — re-submission via 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, carrying the mixture’s UFI, full composition, and product category. See how to submit a PCN for the process end to end, or compare all 30 countries in the country overview table.
