Not just a yes or no
A route-by-route answer. Separate product certificates, dossier evidence, import documents, and facility licences stay separate.

What this Medical electrical equipment outside the Low Voltage Directive check is screening
Checks whether electrical safety is dossier evidence or a separate national product certificate. Evidence is normally handled inside the medical-device registration route.

Annex II of Directive 2014/35/EU, headed 'Equipment and phenomena outside the scope of this Directive', places electrical equipment for radiology and medical purposes outside the Low Voltage Directive, so a medical device attracts no separate Cypriot low-voltage certificate; electrical safety is assessed inside the MDR conformity assessment against MDR Annex I rather than by a low-voltage authority. Low-voltage electrical equipment in Cyprus is the responsibility of the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department (Τμήμα Ηλεκτρομηχανολογικών Υπηρεσιών) of the Ministry of Transport, Communications and Works, which publishes its harmonising legislation; the Cypriot low-voltage instrument itself was not located, so this row is bound to the Directive and to the MDR at candidate grade.
How to read the answer
Classification is only the first layer
A device may have one medical risk class and still trigger separate radio, electrical, measurement, radiation, environmental, import, or installation requirements. The checker keeps each regulatory object separate.
Dossier or import evidence
Testing can belong inside the medical dossier, while some documents apply to each shipment.
Site or operator licence
Radiation, installation, use, or measurement controls may apply to a facility or operator.
Country-specific scope
Other Cyprus routes to check
EMC
EMC Directive switched off by the more specific MDR essential requirements
Evidence is normally handled inside the medical-device registration route.

About this checker
A preliminary tool, not a regulatory determination
Describe the complete product — radio, power, measurement, radiation, battery, materials, accessories, intended use, import route, and existing approvals. The free checker maps those facts to the maintained Cyprus scheme matrix and links each route to its maintained source associations, with reviewed, candidate and unresolved states shown separately.
Use the result to identify questions and official sources. Final scope can depend on exact models, modules, bands, components, claims, HS codes, import structure, installation site, and current authority interpretation.
- Is this the same as medical device classification in Cyprus?
- No. Risk classification determines the main medical-device pathway. This checker runs after classification and looks for additional product certificates, dossier evidence, import documents, and facility or operator licences.
- Does “no separate certificate” mean no testing is required?
- No. Safety, EMC, performance, or other evidence can still be required inside the medical-device dossier even when there is no separate national product certificate.
- Is the result an official regulatory determination?
- No. It is a preliminary applicability assessment. Review the linked official source and confirm the final route with the relevant authority, certification body, importer, or regulatory professional.
