CELEBRATION OF THE 2026 WORLD METROLOGY DAY BY THE LEGAL METROLOGY AUTHORITY IN KENYA
The Weights and Measures Department of Kenya hosted a virtual World Metrology Day celebration via Zoom on 20 May 2026 from 8:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. under the theme: “Metrology: Building Trust in Policy Making.”
The Department was honoured to be joined online by Paul Dixon, Assistant Director of the International Organization of Legal Metrology, who delivered a keynote address highlighting the contribution of the OIML in promoting harmonized measurements to support effective policy decisions globally.
The meeting was also addressed by the Principal Secretary, State Department for Trade, and the Director of Weights and Measures, who highlighted Government efforts to ensure accuracy, integrity, and transparency in measurements as a foundation for evidence-based policy making in both the public and private sectors.
The event brought together policymakers, regulators, technical experts, industry players, and other stakeholders to underscore the critical role of accurate, reliable, and traceable measurement systems in promoting fair trade, consumer protection, regulatory compliance, and informed decision-making.
Key discussions focused on the role of legal metrology in ensuring measurement accuracy and traceability across various sectors, including fuel measurement at along the distribution chain, agriculture (particularly the tea sector), transport, Excise duty determination, maritime safety, and general measurement compliance. Emphasis was placed on how robust measurement systems support transparent governance, strengthen market confidence, and contribute to sustainable economic growth.
Key legal metrology stakeholders in the country also made presentations highlighting the benefits realized through collaboration with the Department. These included the road sector regulator (KeNHA), the maritime regulator (KMA), the Tea Board of Kenya (TBK), the Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC), and the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA).
The Department further engaged stakeholders on proposed amendments to technician regulations and weights and measures fees. The proposed amendments seek to expand the regulatory scope to include the importation, manufacture, distribution, and installation, while enhancing controls on servicing of weighing and measuring equipment. The review aims to curb substandard imports that distort the economy through inaccurate measurements. The engagement also provided stakeholders with an opportunity to submit views and recommendations on the proposed reforms.
