Many chemicals are used on a daily basis in a wide range of industrial processes, in professional activities as well as in the consumer sector. However, some chemicals can be misused for the illegal manufacture of improvised and non-improvised explosive devices.

We would like to inform you that the Department of Electromechanical Services draws the attention of all economic entities involved in the supply chain of prefabricated rooms with integrated low-voltage electrical equipment in the market. This includes manufacturers, authorized representatives within the European Union, importers, distributors, as well as electrical installation consultants and contractors, and the public. It is important to note that their electrical installations fall under the provisions of the “Electricity Regulations of 1941 up to 2019.”

Therefore, before their electrical supply connection, they must undergo an inspection, either by the Electricity Authority of Cyprus in the case of connection to the distribution system or by the Department of Electromechanical Services in the case of connection to a self-generating system.

For more information and clarifications, please contact the Department of Electromechanical Services at telephone number 22800490.
