Kenya — Regulatory Overlay

This folder contains Kenya-specific additions to the general GMP baseline. Each note in this folder is an overlay: it states only what is additional or different for Kenya and links back to the general note it extends.

Do not restate the general baseline here. If a topic applies everywhere, it belongs in 10-general/ only.


Regulatory framework

TODO — Do not invent regulations. Before adding any Kenya-specific content, verify the applicable legislation and guidance documents and cite them in the sources field of each note. Key agencies to research:

  • Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) — national standards body
  • Pharmacy and Poisons Board (PPB) — cosmetics product notification/registration
  • Kenya Drug Authority (KDA) — check applicability for food supplements
  • East African Community (EAC) standards — regional harmonisation may apply

Sections with Kenya overlays

None yet. Add links here as country-specific notes are created in this folder.


Topics likely to need Kenya overlays

When Kenya-specific notes are created, they will typically cover:

  • Product notification or registration requirements before sale
  • Local labelling rules (language requirements, mandatory statements)
  • Import and export documentation and permits
  • Local authority inspection expectations and frequency
  • Any EAC regional standards that differ from ISO 22716

Each new note must link back to the relevant 10-general/ note it extends using the related field and a [[wikilink]] in the body.
