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 Weights and Measures Service — legal metrology authority check is screening
Checks whether a clinical measuring function needs model approval or initial/periodic verification. Applies to the facility, operator, or installation rather than only the product.
Source association reviewed. The source association has been reviewed. This does not verify every rule, date or product-specific conclusion; read the cited provisions and their limits.

The Weights and Measures Service (Υπηρεσία Μέτρων και Σταθμών) of the Ministry of Energy, Commerce and Industry states on its page that it 'is the competent authority for the application of the Weights and Measures legislation', with the aim of securing the accuracy of measurements both in commercial and in scientific measurement. Its listed activities are verification of fuel-dispenser meters, of meters installed on fuel delivery tankers, of weighbridges of 3 t and above and of scales below 3 t, reference testing of prepacked goods for net content and marking, complaint investigation and the drafting of weights-and-measures legislation. A device with a measuring function therefore meets the Cypriot legal-metrology regime at the point of use and in trade rather than through a separate pre-market device certificate; the metrological function itself is assessed inside the CE route.
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
Electrical safety
Medical electrical equipment outside the Low Voltage Directive
Evidence is normally handled inside the medical-device registration route.
Source association awaiting review
EMC
EMC Directive switched off by the more specific MDR essential requirements
Evidence is normally handled inside the medical-device registration route.
Source association awaiting review
Wireless / radio
Radio Communications (Radio Equipment) Regulations Κ.Δ.Π. 310/2016, as amended
Applies when the product, feature, component, or use is in scope.
Source association reviewed
Environmental / battery
Department of Environment extended producer responsibility for WEEE and batteries
Maintained as a mandatory pre-market route.
Source association reviewed
Radiation
Department of Labour Inspection — ionizing radiation protection and nuclear safety
Applies to the facility, operator, or installation rather than only the product.
Source association reviewed
Laser / UV / ultrasound
Department of Labour Inspection — non-ionizing radiation in the working environment
Applies to the facility, operator, or installation rather than only the product.

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.
