THE COMPLIANCE PROCESS

KEBS offer three routes to conformity with the Kenya PVoC to allow maximum flexibility and choice for exporters. Each route involves a combination of product testing and/or shipment inspection to fulfil the aims of the Kenya PVoC. A summary of the three routes is shown below and the most appropriate route for you can be discussed with the relevant Kenya PVoC Country Offices.pdf

	i) A Registered product
		An Exporter may register a product if acceptable Test Reports substantiating the safety of the products can be provided
	OR
	ii) A Licensed product
		An exporter may license a product if, in addition to providing acceptable Test Reports substantiating its safety, they are manufactured under a recognised quality management system which is audited on an ongoing basis. A product must be Registered for at least one year before it can be licensed
	OR
	iii) Neither of the above (Unregistered and Unlicensed)

Once the status of the product has been determined the process is as follows
