Kenya's National Standards Authority KEBS) In order to reduce the risk of unsafe products entering the country and provide Kenyan consumers with protection in all aspects of health, safety and the environment, Pre-Export Verification of Conformity (PVoC) began on September 2005, 9.
PVoC's main product categories include: electronic appliances, toys, automobiles, food, chemicals, textiles and leather, furniture, building materials, second-hand products and so on.
Where in Products listed in the PVoC certification catalogue must obtain a Certificate of Conformity (CoC) before shipment, and the certificate must be handed over to the customs when the goods arrive at the port, and the products can enter the country.
PVoC has three certification paths:
1) Consignment Certification and 2) Product Registration and
Certification of Shipments, which is suitable for multiple exports of the same product
3) Product Licensing PVoC
adopts Kenyan standards, but CB test reports in accordance with IEC standards can also be accepted.
PVOC Certification:
From July 2005, 7, all products imported into Kenya must be accompanied by a qualified test report or certificate, known as "Pre-shipment Verification of Conformity" (PVOC). PVOC is a new measure by Kenya's National Bureau of Standards (KEBS) to replace the previous Pre-shipment Inspection (PSI) under WTO rules. The test report or certificate shall state that the product shipped complies with Kenyan national standards or other recognized international standards of the same level. Failure to provide these materials will result in products being inspected at the country's ports, which may cause delays and, if ultimately unqualified, may even result in denial of entry.
This measure is aimed at preventing unsafe and low-quality goods from entering the Kenyan market.
Since 2005 September 9, the Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) has authorized Intertek to issue a Pre-shipment Inspection Certificate (PVOC) in Kenya. PVOC is a regional program, Intertek is responsible for issuing all pre-shipment inspection certificates from Hong Kong, Taiwan and China to Kenya, the main requirements of PVOC inspection are as follows.
1. According to the inspection procedure, the certification body will send complete inspection instructions and requirements to the inspector. It includes, at a minimum:
(i) Inspection Application Form
(ii) Proforma invoices
(iii) CVG Catalogue (AIR) for related products (full AIR form to be available soon)
2. After receiving the instruction, the inspector must confirm that all inspection information is complete. And contact the inspection site representative to determine the inspection date and time, if the inspection date and time change, it is best to notify the certification body (the party issuing the order) by fax.
3. The inspector must apply the AQL sampling standard to determine whether the product meets the requirements of PVoC in Kenya.
4. At the inspection site, the inspector should carry out the inspection in accordance with the relevant product inspection requirements listed in the RFC. Among these requirements, the following steps must be performed:
(i) Confirm that the inspector uses the AIR document, and the inspector always checks the AIR during the inspection process, and then transmits the AIR form to the certification body (the issuing party) together with the inspection report.
(ii) If the product is found to not meet the requirements of the directive or other rejection during the inspection, the inspector must also continue to complete the inspection in accordance with the requirements.
(iii) If any product is found to be inspected that does not meet the requirements, the inspector must issue a discrepancy report and issue a copy to the inspection site representative, and all discrepancies must be photographed as proof.
(iv.) Kenyan PVoC labels and tapes must be applied to the internal and external packaging of sampled goods to clearly indicate that these places have been sampled in accordance with sampling standards. Discrepancy goods, even if corrected and replaced by the exporter, must not be applied Kenyan PVoC labels and tapes.
(v.) After the inspection, leave the exporter's copy of the inspection report to the inspection site representative and inform the inspection result of "accept", "rejection" or "pending".
5. After the inspection is completed, the inspector must fill in the inspection report in complete and detail, and submit the inspection report to Intertek's Hong Kong or Shanghai office (the issuing party) within one working day after the completion of the inspection.
6. All used cars must be 100% inspected and inspected in accordance with Kenya KS1515:2000 standard, which will be converted into a special AIR list.
7. FCL shipping (FCL) must be sealed.
8. Sometimes, the certification body (the party issuing the order) will ask the inspector to identify the sample and inform the representative of the exporting party. Samples must be labelled and/or sealed with Kenya.
9. If sampling is required, the certification body (the party issuing the order) will submit the partially completed mailing form to the inspector together with the complete instruction, which includes a detailed description of the sample and the number of samples. The inspector should make copies of 4 sample mailing slips and fill in the product parameters, article number, batch number or serial number of the sample in detail on site. The inspector should process the completed 4 sample mailing forms as follows:
a. 1 copy --- to the exporter's representative.
b. 1 --- sent to the laboratory with the sample.
c. 1 copy --- the inspector keeps it himself.
d. 1 copy of the --- and the inspection report is sent back to the certification body (the party issuing the order).
10. During an inspection using the CVG Annex (AIR), the inspector may find multiple discrepancies, but not all of them are severe enough to reject them. So the nature of the difference must be judged. The basic principle is that if the discrepancy conflicts with the essential requirements of the goods, it is judged to be a material defect and rejected.
