To ensure 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 regulations called the Pre-Export Verification of Conformity (PVoC) to Standards Programme for exports to Kenya.
In January 2015, Intertek was awarded a further contract by KEBS to operate the PVoC programme on KEBS behalf in regions such as parts of Europe including the UK, North America, Latin America, China Region, Australasia, Western Africa, Indian Subcontinent and the UAE.
