Kenya Bureau of Standards

Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) was established in July 1974. The KEBS Board of Directors is known as the National Standards Council (NSC). It is the policy-making body for supervising and controlling the administration and financial management of the Bureau. The Managing Director is the Chief Executive responsible for the day-to-day administration of the Bureau within the broad guidelines formulated by the NSC. The Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) acts as a trade facilitator. KEBS provides trade facilitation services in Metrology, Standards, Testing and Quality Management (MSTQ) including the WTO/TBT National Enquiry Point, certification and accreditation. KEBS ensures that no technical barriers to trade are created while providing services in standardization and conformity assessment.
