What it is
CYS (the Cyprus Organisation for Standardisation) is Cyprus’s national standards body and the Cypriot member of the European organisation CEN and the international body ISO. It adopts and distributes European (EN) and international standards as Cypriot standards.
Why it matters for compliance
Conformity in practice means applying the right standard, and CYS is where you access the EN standards your product needs for the Cypriot market. A standard’s legal weight comes from being harmonised (cited in the Official Journal) for the applicable legislation.
How to use it
- Find and access the relevant EN/CYS standards for your product.
- Confirm a standard is harmonised and current for the applicable legislation.
- Pair it with the Cypriot Consumer Protection Service for market surveillance.
Good to know
Standards function as both compliance tools and commercial requirements — buyers and procurement often specify them.
