Certificate of Conformity for Exports to Kenya
Cotecna has been awarded the contract by the Kenyan Bureau of Standards (KEBS) to issue Certificates of Conformity (COC) for exports of regulated products from China to Kenya.
The Pre-Export Verification of Conformity (PVOC) Programme is a mandatory conformity assessment scheme applied in the country of export. It ensures that regulated products destined for Kenya comply with:
- Applicable Kenyan Technical Regulations
- Mandatory Kenyan Standards or approved specifications
Under this programme, imported regulated products must be accompanied by a Certificate of Conformity (COC). Any shipment that arrives in Kenya from China without a valid COC will be prohibited from entering the country.
Regulated Products:
All products exported to Kenya fall under the Kenya PVOC program, except those listed as prohibited, restricted, or exempted.
