At the KENAS World Accreditation Day 2026 Conformity Assessment Breakfast Forum held at Weston Hotel, Nairobi, our CEO emphasized the transformative role of accreditation in strengthening innovation, building trust, and advancing sustainability across Kenya’s quality ecosystem.
Bringing together medical laboratories, testing and calibration facilities, inspection bodies, manufacturers, agro-processors, MSMEs and other key players, the forum provided a dedicated platform for open dialogue on how accreditation serves as a strategic enabler of business growth rather than a regulatory burden.
He underscored that recent developments in Kenya’s legal and regulatory framework now firmly position accreditation as a cornerstone of quality infrastructure—opening opportunities for organisations to enhance credibility, meet regulatory requirements with confidence, and access regional and global markets.
KENAS remains committed to expanding accreditation coverage, deepening engagement, and strengthening capacity to better serve conformity assessment bodies across the country.
