Kenya Roadworthiness Inspection
The Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) has appointed JEVIC for the conduct of the pre-export Roadworthiness Inspection (RWI) of used motor vehicles from Japan and Dubai, destined for use within the Republic of Kenya.
This inspection was initiated by KEBS to minimize the risk of unsafe and substandard vehicles entering Kenyan market, thus ensuring the health, safety and environmental protection for Kenyans. All used vehicles must meet the KEBS requirements of this important safety pre-export inspection.
The major points of the RWI encompass;
- The vehicle must be less than 8 years of age
- The vehicle must be right hand drive
- The vehicle must pass a safety and mechanical inspection
(similar to the Japanese Periodic Inspection - Shaken) - Vehicle odometer reading must be consistent with the documented mileage. No fraudulent tampering or replacement clusters permitted.
