What's Kenya PVOC Certificate?

KENYA-PVOC PROGRAM

The Kenyan Bureau of Standards (KEBS) has introduced the Pre-Export Verification of Conformity (PVoC) to Standards Program to ensure the quality of products, which must also meet health, safety and environmental standards for Kenyans.

To assure Kenyan consumers of the safety and quality of the imported goods they buy, and to protect Kenyan manufacturers from unfair competition, the Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS), a statutory organisation of the government of Kenya, has implemented guidelines called the Pre-Export Verification of Conformity (PVoC) to Standards Programme for exports to Kenya.

Products must meet its requirements before they can be exported to Kenya – non-compliant goods will be denied entry.

BASIC FEATURES

Goods imported into Kenya require a Certificate of Conformity (CoC)

CoC is a mandatory clearance document for each consignment

Goods exempted from the program are still subject to KEBS destination inspection

Exporter is liable for any legal or economic consequences arising for goods shipped without the cover of a COC Responsibility of compliance lies with the supplier/exporter

Kenya’s PVoC ensures goods meet mandatory safety, quality and security requirements, enables international trade, avoids delays in customs and reduces potential losses from the import of non compliant products.

The key elements of a PVoC are:

  • Physical inspection prior to shipment
  • Sampling, testing and analysis in accredited laboratories
  • Audit of product processes
  • Documentary check of conformity to regulations
  • Assessment of conformity to Kenyan Standards

With decades of experience managing conformity assessment programs around the world JCT offers exporters efficient and comprehensive solutions to ensure shipments conform to Kenya’s requirements.

Kenya PVoC process and Routes:

Routes of Certification

Route A – Occasional Exports

  • No registration
  • Testing and Inspection

Route B – Frequent Exporters

  • Product registration
  • Inspection and random testing

Failure to do so may result in shipments facing delays at Kenyan Customs.
