Kenya National Bureau of Standards (Kebs) has so far issued 10 million copies of new Import Standardisation Mark (ISM).
The new mark, which Kebs started implementing on September 1, is meant to stem widespread counterfeiting of ISMs by rogue importers. The new ISM, unlike the old ISM, has security features that is supported by a track and trace technology, which makes it possible for Kebs to account for each and every sticker found in the market.
