Which Language Must GPSR Information Use in Cyprus?

The short answer is Greek. Under the General Product Safety Regulation, Regulation (EU) 2023/988, safety and warning information must reach consumers in a language they can easily understand. For the Cypriot market that language is Greek, the official language for consumer information in Cyprus.

Why the language matters

The GPSR has applied directly across the EU since 13 December 2024, and it leaves the choice of language to each national market. The reasoning is simple: safety information only protects people if they can read and understand it. A warning a Cypriot customer cannot follow does not do its job, so the expectation is that it appears in Greek.

Where English fits in

English is very widely used in Cyprus, and in practice it often helps customers and businesses alike. It is sensible to offer information in English as well. What English does not do is replace Greek: it is a helpful addition rather than a substitute for safety information in the official language.

• Provide safety and warning information in Greek for your Cypriot customers.
• Treat English as a useful extra, not a replacement for the Greek wording.
• Keep the same Article 19 listing details on the page, whichever language they appear in.

For the broader picture, see our complete GPSR guide. National practice continues to develop, so treat the detail as settling rather than fixed.
